Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all!

6.1 again this morning for me. Not quite sure what it’ll take to get me back down into the fives regularly but I’m comfortable with 6.1 morning readings.
Yesterday readings were 5.7 in the afternoon and down to 5.1 before bed so pretty stable.

And talking of pretty, my God he’s even cuter in person than his photos suggest. It was a good walk through the parks and we stopped and picked up a takeaway coffee. Not sure if it’s really got potential to go anywhere as we are so fundamentally different in our outlooks on so many things.
There’s obviously a mutual attraction however and we didn’t stick to distancing guidelines the entire time.
Of course me being me in the course of the walk home afterwards I’d introduced him to family, arranged our marriage, picked out names for our adopted children, realised that it wasn’t ever going to work and filed for divorce etc. lol

Meanwhile, happy anniversary @Gruers

Oh Colin. It was all going so well until the last sentence! I hope you didn't arrive home on that depressing note, but were still buzzing from your encounter!
Even if it doesn't go anywhere, enjoy it for what it is and extract hope from it that the next one will be better and more compatible, but sounds like it was a very promising first date.

I agree. Even if it is nothing more that the walk yesterday it’s still lovely to remind myself that that potential is still there. Only time will tell if it’s got legs of course.
 
4.5 think it might go up abit as down to 1000mg of Met now and soon to drop to 500mg in a couple of weeks.

This is the lowest I've ever been in the morning!

Did you have a particularly active day yesterday as that will usually contribute to lower readings the next morning or even dropping too low overnight.
 
A repeat of yesterday's 5.4 for me at 06:51 this morning. Moved two big bags of chicken feed from the front door to the orchard this morning. The ground is very muddy and a bit of a skating rink around the coop. On video calls most of today which is a pity as we have some blue sky and sunshine and it would be great to get out with my camera. Got February off to a good start with 10.1 miles on the exercise bike last night.

Congratulations on the HS @rebrascora
Happy anniversary @Gruers
Have you arranged a second date yet @ColinUK ?

Have a great day everyone!
 
@SueEK hats off to you, my niece works in a surgery and the horror stories I couldnt do it. Rather deal with our drivers and grumpy site agents all day long.
@ColinUK don't write him off yet, the say opposites attract I've been with my partner for 14 years and you couldn't get 2 very different people (don't get me wrong I could walk away alot 😉)as he can drive me insane but the laughs override it all
@rebrascora congrats on hs

No second date confirmed yet.
I’ve put some suggestions out there and we’ll see.

Morning everyone. 6.7 for me this morning. Another day of working from home, sitting at a laptop but the good news... when the laptop settles down a bit i'm off out for a walk around the block!!! I am out!! Fresh air!!! Looking forward to that.
@SueEK, you are really selling that job lol. You all deserve a medal for what you put up with, grumpy doctors, grumpy patients, chasing people who don't get back to you etc. Keep up the good work, you are appreciated by us.
@Gruers happy anniversary! How many years is it?
It looks a bit dark, damp and cool out there (but who cares...i'm going out). Have a good day whatever you are planing

Hi @freesia its 46 years, time has flown by.
 
@Gruers Happy Anniversary, hope you have a lovely day
@Michael12421 Hope you have got that number back up and are feeling ok x
@ColinUK sounds a great date, you may find in time you have more in common. Glad you had a good time.
@rebrascora congrats on another HS, I'm jealous x
 
12:04 BS 9.8:( so, so smile that’s not quite a frown!

Well, it’s my 3rd night in a row of battling to sleep & only got 6 hours! Still reading “Why We Sleep” & it’s just coinciding quite badly but, to be fair to the author, he DID say that could happen in some cases! 🙄 I’ll persevere though to the part of the book where he’ll give tips on how to sleep better: it’s front loaded with the need for enough & the dangers of not enough sleep; don’t need to pile on the pressure when I haven’t been able to sleep normally, apnoea, for most of my life & not knowing it; thought it was normal & only had a nose op in the 90’s to fix that when GP pointed out to me that’s not normal sleep!🙄

Another Australian greeting, I’m afraid! A Very G’day mates to you all! 😉

Meds & LR already in & off to have breakfast/lunch! 🙂
