Group 7-day waking average?

[Robin]

Morning all, 5.7 here. Woke at the usual time, it seemed very cold and dark, so I had another little doze and suddenly it was nearly 9 o'clock!

 

[ColinUK]

Morning all 🙂

5.8 today which I’m quite happy with.

Feeling fine any about to head out for a brisk walk to Sainsbury’s and Iceland. I wish it was actually the country and not the shop but heigh ho.

Hope everyone has a good day today. Especially those who have daughters getting married!
@eggyg we expect photos!

@Lanny Discovery S3 started yesterday and started well.

And @Snowwy, thank you 🙂 xx

00:41 BS 7.0 🙂 Slept yesterday until midnight alarm woke me for Levemir, rather reluctantly, & been awake all night having watched the newest episode of the new season of Star Trek Discovery & then been watching a Chinese period drama on Netflix The Princess Wei Young: ever since Empresses in The Palace was such a big hit worldwide, translated into loads on languages in subtitles & watched by non Chinese globally that Netflix picked it up, there’s a LOT more Chinese dramas AND other international dramas from different countries; the South American Spanish drama The Queen and the Conqueror looks very interesting too & may watch that next after the 54 episodes of Wei Young, incidentally quite modest in length as EITP was 76 & others since then ran to over 80, the Spanish drama is long too at 60 episodes! Netflix has become MUCH more global & international than it’s ever been: makes for a very interesting mix of programmes: watched a really good Turkish drama a couple of years, can’t remember the name, that was 40+ episodes based on a concubine slave that made it to being the first Sultana of, historically the greatest ever Sultan of the Ottoman empire, Suleyman II. She ended up officially married to him & disbanded the harem; historically true & I’ve read a few works of fiction that were based on that before!😎😛

@ColinUK , have you seen the new Discovery episode yet: season 3 is reminiscent of Andromeda, also based on Star Trek’s creator Gene Roddenberry’s notes, etc., the show’s writers got from his widow, that didn’t make it into Star Trek as it didn’t fit into the almost religious ethos; centuries into the future & the Federation has fallen long ago! I’m guessing season 3 will be about finding the few remaining “true believers” of Star Fleet’s ideals & trying to restart the Federation like Andromeda?🙄

Very distracted & lost track of time! Only just had breakfast now without any bolus & just Levemir so, DP was 08:16 BS 14.9!😱 Eek! Oops! 😳 Completely forgot about DP & it’s about the usual rise of 1mmol/hour! But, I added a correction to breakfast NR & I’ll see later what after breakfast reading I’ll get?😳🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

PS: I think that Strictly is starting tonight?😛

Only just found out about Caroline Flack’s passing when I watched the last of the 4 new series preview’s about past Strictly series & the very emotional tribute to her, didn’t know it was at the time, & the In loving memory message at the very end with her dates: was shocked & thought “She’s dead?”; googled it & I’d completely missed it as it happened just before civid hit & it’s been virtually been all about THAT ever since! A rare, from me, for the passing of a great Strictly Champion!

 

[Lanny]

Oooh! Nicely timed: was still typing while you posted @ColinUK 😉

 

[freesia]

Strictly is starting tonight?😛

I love Strictly! I wish i could dance. I like to throw myself around on the dance floor at work do's etc but to be able to do a waltz and look elegant would be lovely.

 

[adrian1der]

A 6.9 for me this morning

 

[Lanny]

Whoah! Hate to complain but, I have to say I’ve been having problems connecting to the forum as well & just been unexpectedly booted off in mid post! No greyed out text either so, have to retype! What is going on?

I know & feel the same: can’t dance for toffee; haven’t got any rhythm but, LOVE watching Strictly too! 😛 My late sister & I would watch it every week, when it was on, & talk about it on the phone!😛

 

[Lanny]

The forum servers need looking into @everydayupsanddowns or any administrators that are on today! It’s not the first time it’s happened & it’s been a few days now! It’s not nice being booted off unexpectedly & it can be quite a job to get back on! 😱

 

[Kaylz]

@Lanny we made @everydayupsanddowns aware of this issue the other week as it's been happening on and off for weeks now, damned annoying! lol

@Lanny and @freesia we could get together and I could teach you some Scottish Country Dancing, not the most exciting but it's the only style I do well! We'd need to find some willing participent fellas to partner with though! haha xx

Hi chaps, 5.4 for me this morning.

On the subject of forum performance, I had a short period earlier today when I could not connect. Got into the main site, but the link to the forum was not working. Back to normal now.

@everydayupsanddowns (and the mods) have been talking about this and Mike was going to talk to the techies since it is in their court. I am sure he will come back when he gets to the bottom of what is going on.

 

[SueEK]

Ooh Strictly, my favourite. Love everything about it, I love dancing. Always have though my style is very 70s and I get the mickey taken out of me by my family but I don’t care. I was offered a place with Second Generation, not that I expect anybody to remember them but I had lied about my age so that was that!!
At the moment I am setting up my Christmas playlist with the help of Alexa and of course have to listen to them all to decide which I need, much to my husbands annoyance lol x

No good asking my OH..he has no sense of rhythm bless him! The one and only time we have danced together was on our wedding day over 31 years ago

 

[freesia]

Thats about my style, that and 80's pop. I don't care either, i just get up and enjoy myself. Although last Christmas i went on a works night out and someone got me on part of a video. I must say that my moves weren't great but my outfit looked good

 

[Kaylz]

Nope Bruce wouldn't do it either, we've never actually danced together lol but if we get living together soon etc the wedding may soon follow, we have been engaged for years now! xx

My husband doesn’t dance either. I actually persuaded him, god knows how, to do a course in ballroom and Latin and the teacher had to keep dancing with him cos he just couldn’t get it! However we did have one waltz on a holiday and he was really good but that was it, just the one. At least he tried bless him xx
PS Kaylz we all want invites to the wedding lol x

 

[HenryBennett]

Wow, you women are patronising about us men who can’t or won’t dance 😉 😉

 

[Kaylz]

PS Kaylz we all want invites to the wedding lol x

Of course! 🙂 xx

 

[Northerner]

Good morning 🙂 5.3 for me today 🙂

 

[HenryBennett]

I’ve ended the week on a 5.0 and a distinctly average average of 5.5 Monday to Sunday. I shan’t complain. Live well.
