Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. :D 4.8 here.

Surprise surprise, we got soaked on this morning’s walk, but it was worth it! It’s definitely time to get out the Nikwax. My jacket’s had so many soakings, it’s no longer Welsh-weather-proof.o_O😎
 
Same here. I remember well sitting in front of a coal fire on a Friday night with my sister and parents eating fish and chips and listening to the wireless - some detective series or other, can't remember which. It will come to me eventually. It must have been about 1953.

Haha i remember those. We had one with two electric bars but i was only allowed to use one bar. Then we had a calor gas heater, that didn't heat up much either
 
When we returned from living abroad my brother and I lived with my grandparents who had a small war pensioners bungalow (my grandad was blinded in WW1). We had a coal fire and a paraffin heater in the inner hall. It was freezing but probably due to being used to living on a island in the Indian Ocean. My brother and I shared a bed so we were toasty at night. I remember the dyke we used to play in, aargh, the fishing fleet and we roamed all over Kings Lynn on our own, There was a canning factory behind us. I was 6 and a half and my brother was not quite 8. I used to dust, polish and sweep for a lady in the road for pocket money and she had leg ulcers and I have never ever forgotten the smell, and my brother used to do shopping for the other pensioners for a little bit of pocket money. Very very happy memories though.
 
G'day all. 7.9@7.40am, yesterday 7.6@7.22am, day before 6.4@5.43am pleased with that last! 🙂
 
4.9 for me this morning but only because I woke a couple of hours earlier and injected a correction. Not sure why I was high as I had no appreciable carbs or even anything much to eat at all for dinner and had an extra unit of basal as I had been running a bit high all day and obviously hadn't been as active as I normally would, because of the constant rain.
@Northerner Congrats on your House Special.
@Lanny Pleased to see you are getting things back under control. It is all very well HCPs saying don't test so much and don't correct but when you feel rough because you are high and have the means to sort it, it makes little sense not to do so, especially as you are not having lots of hypos which to me would be the only reason to be more restrictive with corrections.

My first job involved working shifts and in the colder months I would get dressed in front of one of those single bar electric heaters whenever I was on a 6 till 2. I was 24 before I lived in a house with central heating

Cholecystectomy, apparently, is a lot easier to perform than to pronounce. :D
You'll be OK Ted
My best wishes to you.

@KARNAK oh dear. I had mine out 19 years ago, unfortunately mine was emergency so zipper from top to bottom. I do know many people who’ve had theirs out keyhole and they are in and out the same day and have made a full recovery. Fingers crossed for that option. Take care.

My husband loves Monty Python and we have often said to each other ‘you were looky ‘ at the end of a rubbish day lol 🙂 🙂

If husband or I start telling the kids they don’t know they’re born, Son will roll his eyes and say 'uphill both ways,' which I was sure came in that sketch, but wasn’t in the version I just watched.
 
Sorry to hear that, Ted, I hope everything goes OK.
Because this is interspersed amongst posts about Monty Python, I had a thought flash through my mind, about how many different bits of their innards various members are missing, 4 Yorkshireman style.

That's a wonderful expression that I heard my late great mum say many many times.
