Group 7-day waking average?

Morning everyone, 6.9 today. No more moaning today as fed up with my own voice. Hubby having Covid test tomorrow ahead of his procedure on Monday and then we both have to isolate for three days, no problem, plenty to do indoors.
Thought I would give you a giggle, below is a photo of my Misty in her ‘dog buggy’.mits doing the business in that if she won’t walk I put her in it and a short walk from the car she will get out and walk the rest of the way - what a palaver lol 😳

@Michael12421 i hope you had a better good night and feeling a bit better, listen to the advice.
@HenryBennett glad to see you’ve bitten the bullet and having the flu jab.
Have a good day all x
 
Morning all and after yet another restless night a 6.4 for me. Off on holiday tomorrow so today will be spent cleaning the house and changing the bed. I like to come home to a tidy house, in the past before I got my frost free freezer, I always defrosted the freezer too! We all have our foibles don’t we? Wedding dress fitting at 4 then she’s on her own. We are cutting hol short by one day, back late Thursday, it’s a seven hour drive, hair done Friday, pack for wedding and back down the M6 to Blackpool for two nights! Feel like we’ll need another holiday afterwards! Have a fab day. 🙂
@Michael12421 hope you’re ok today.

Hope you have a lovely restful holiday ahead of your daughter’s wedding x
 
Morning all. 🙂 5.5 here.

Wow, there’s a difference @SueEK, here in the Welsh Wild West we have to isolate for two weeks before a procedure - me and hubby got really fed-up with each other!o_O I hope your hubby’s procedure goes well.🙂

Happy holidaying @eggyg.😎

Thanks Sue. I’ll try! Lots of walking along the coast so hoping the sea air will help me sleep. I’m a rubbish sleeper TBF and have been for years, the slightest bit of stress, worry or anxiety and that’s it! :(
 
@SueEK aww that's well cute! Seing a buggy just reminded me of a conversation I had with Bruce the other day, we were thinking about when we live together and start trying, he's put a bit of weight on since he came off on the sick (he'd lost his lockdown weight when he went back to work) and he came off "I can't wait until we can compare bumps", had me in fits of laughter lol

Also Sue and @Bloden obviously different if its surgery that's been scheduled as Bruce didn't have to isolate before he had his wrist done, he was tested the day it happened and was having the x-rays, had to fill something out online the night prior to his op basically a check list asking if he had any of the symtoms and obviously he didn't so received an e pass which he had to show when he got to the hospital and was tested again then xx

We are going to North Devon in November, (lockdowns permitting). I shall want a full report on the best walks from you!

We’re really looking forward to it. We’ll pop to Cornwall too as it’s one of our favourite places. Going to do a wee bit of the SW coast path so will let you know what it’s like.
 
5.8 this morning. 🙂

Coffee!
This thread has got me into the habit of getting out of bed on the alarm to go down to the kitchen for a BG finger prick. My reward is a coffee. Generally a double espresso, a splash of double cream and topped up with a bit of hot water. Delicious!
I always have three different beans/brands for variety. Currently Lavazza Rossa, Starbucks Espresso and Planet Java. This morning I switched from Planet Java to Starbucks which is a lovely dark roast.

Finally, I’m having my first ever flu jab at 15:50 this afternoon and am a bit nervous about it.
Starbucks dark roast everything because they’re not the best quality beans. But as long as you enjoy it that’s really all that matters. 🙂

What are the nerves about the flu jab? Honestly you won’t feel it at all. It’s barely even a scratch.
 
Forgot to say 6.0 this morning. And on my way to the office... with people.
 
A 7.2 for me this morning but I did eat far, far to much Chicken Curry last night. I'm working my way through Norman Musa's book "Amazing Malaysian" and the recipes are rather too tasty!

@Michael12421 Please listen to the advice. We are all worried about you. Update us when you can
 
I am not feeling too good, don'tknow why what with the recent readings.
After effects of the terrible hypo's and also the effect of the current high levels, neither are good feelings but hopefully things settle soon enough for you xx
