Group 7-day waking average?

@MeeTwoTeeTwo..... Jammy is all I can say! 😉 Totally jealous and I am owning it! 😱
 
Morning all. 🙂 5.....(drum roll)....4 - can’t beat you for strings of HS @ColinUK!😉

Going to be checking the shed today to make sure we’ve got all the DIY kit we need for the new Welsh lockdown...might as well make the most it!:D
 
07:17 BS 6.3 🙂

Really enjoyed watching Earth at Night in Colour yesterday & the most surprising one was about Peregrine Falcons in Chicago nose diving like a neon lit up bullet down the side of skyscrapers, as cover, to swoop down unseen by other birds until the last second when they can’t get away! Wow! 😱😎 There are 10 nesting pairs of them in downtown Chicago & can catch as many as 10 birds an hour to keep their chicks fed! Apparently Chicago is on the migration flight path & the bright city lights reflecting off the glass windows of the skyscrapers really confuse birds with hundreds of them colliding into them & are killed during migration: there’s a team of people going round the city picking up birds, documenting those that died & helping the few that survive their falls! 😱

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

PS:- @ColinUK I’m just keeping it as the screen is quite badly scratched in quite a few places.
 
7.7 today, guess that was the chilli with really small portion of rice :confused: Another day of cleaning today, downstairs today, oh the joys of isolating.
@Bexlee and @freesia I feel for you, last day tomorrow, keep going 🙂:confused:
Have a nice day all x

Morning all. Up early with a 5.8. Been awake since 5.30 must be the excitement of tonight’s Masterchef final. @HenryBennett the right one went home last night. Philli took on more than she could chew, good effort though. I can’t call the winner, I don’t mind really, as long as it’s Santosh! 😉 Asking for a friend, how can MC make you cry? I’m , err, I mean my friend, is going to be a mess tonight.
In other non related MC news, my 83 year old ma- in-law is having her first Covid jab today. It’s getting closer. 🙂 Have a good day.

Don’t contestants ever watch previous series? The judges always advise the chefs not to take on too much. A couple of nights ago one of the chefs was advised by the judges not to take on too much - the guy who was always running around the kitchen. Instead of taking the advice he took it as a challenge and failed. No one to blame but himself.
I’m still rooting for Bart. But the judges love all the new ingredients and flavours that Santosh is introducing them to. My guess is he’ll win, but it’ll be very close.

That’s all fab news @Lanny - I’ve just cut my mobile costs by getting a new iPhone 12 mini - and it’s great!
What are you doing with your old iPad mini (assuming you had one)?

I’m really attracted to the 12 mini but won’t give up the telephoto lens on the Pro. Pro Max is too big, especially if you also have an iPad.

I was a little concerned that the Mini might be too small after the XR but it’s really not. And it’s as light as a feather.

Alas my iPad is no more so I’m currently exploring options regarding tablets. Not entirely sure I actually need an iPad or if I’d be better off buying, and it pains me to say this, an Amazon Fire tablet and loading Google Play Store on it.

My head says Bart. My heart says Alex.
Regardless of who actually wins there’s no doubt that Santosh will do a cook book. And they’ll all have huge success following this series.
I can see Alex carving out a TV career.

If you don’t already, it’s worth keeping an eye out on the Apple store for “certified refurbished” iPads.

I’m having to talk firmly to myself not to succumb to the 12. It’s idiotic to upgrade every year.
 
4.4 for me but it went low after work last night 3.6 as I was working late.
 
8.2 this morning. Had a few beers yesterday as part of virtual leaving do, then virtual catch up with former colleagues, then virtual poker with friends!! I will have to keep a close eye on it today as my levels are likely to plummet at some stage!

Good to hear @ColinUK talking about the iPhone 12 mini - I got one a few weeks ago and love it! But I bought a case as well and saw in the technical notes that the magnets in it could cause issues with medical equipment - I wear a Dexcom G6 sensor, and don't go through airport X-ray scanners etc, so I returned the case :( But the Apple website assuaged my worries about the magnets in the iPhone itself!

Had my XR for two years and the previous one for three I think. I pass them to my folks.
 
5.6 this morning. Now on my new pump, but in manual mode to start with. Happy to take things step by step. It is a bit confusing finding my way round the new screens, and some things having new names. Also learning my way round the new phone, and it feels very similar, except that the pump is a bit more vital.

Had a massive spike last night due to operator error, or should I say a large glass of beer. I usually stick to wine, so forgot about the carbs!!! Found out to raise the Bolus as I knew at 17.6 it would need a bit more to bring me down!!!

A beautiful day here, cold but sunny. Wrapping up and off to the Farmers Market for our (wild) venison for our ‘Christmas’ meal on Saturday, via Zoom with all my family. They would usually all be here, so it will be different but glad that we are still ‘getting together’, with people from Tier 3.

Have fun.
 
Morning all. Over 9 for me, self-inflicted due to three After Eights and one of each Festival out of Mum's Christmas hamper that came yesterday. I'm a silly bitca. 🙄

Back in the day I'd have eaten the entire box of After Eights and all the Festivals. That's why I'm in this mess and thinking about Switzerland. Why do we have to go there? Stupid. We should have somewhere here. I don't want to go messy, I want to go clean and no hassle to anyone. Have a good day all. 🙂
 
Another 6.0 for me at 07:07 this morning. Sat in the office finishing off a piece of work for a client and it is a beautiful sunny day with blue skies through the window here in West Berkshire. It's my son's tenth birthday tomorrow and he wants to take the dog to the seaside. The forecast is drizzly and damp for tomorrow - should have gone today!
 
Hee! The dog. LOL
 
Even the iPhone 12 mini is too big for me & I’m glad I didn’t wait for it to come out: knew when I bought iPhone SE that the 12 mini would be launching soon but, my old iPhone 6 was ONLY just about manageable in my small size 5 hand; the price had just dropped considerably for the SE too after the launch of iPhone 12. Because of the retina display, my 1st iOS device with it, the SE looks MUCH bigger than it is when watching videos on it & much lighter to hold in my hand! 🙄🙂

I always had an issue with my old iPhone 8 being too big for me to reach the top of the screen, but the iPhone 12 mini is actually smaller than the 8 in total size, but the screen itself covers more of the phone! So I'm delighted with it

Morning all,
First new day of my 70th year with a 5.8!
Not sure how I managed that with the delish cake I ate yesterday!

Blessings Snowwy
