Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

8.2 here after 4 Lifts

Little sleep, was drifting off about 11pm when the smoke alarm in the empty flat in the block started going off AGAIN! It's getting to be a right PITA! Then kept waking drenched with sweat and my bad hand itching, scratching it and ending up in tears as it was so painful with the open wounds etc :(

@Northerner and @Bloden congratulations on the house specials

@SueEK I didn't really want to "like" your post as not much to like but thinking of you and hope your BIL recovers well xx
 
A 5.1 for me at 04:42 this morning. We snuck in another BBQ last night to make the most of the nice evenings before the forecasted rain arrives this evening. Looks like being a wet weekend.

Congratulations to @Bloden and @Northerner on the HSs

Sorry to hear about your BIL @SueEK - Fingers crossed for a full and speedy recovery
 
6.4 for me this morning and a nice flat line overnight. It is my uncle's 99th birthday today so will be popping up to see him this afternoon. He lives alone since my aunty died a few years ago and manages without social care or a cleaner despite limited mobility and he is quite determined to see his next birthday and get his card from the Queen..... and then he will start work on his next 100! Sadly he is not a blood relative so no chance of me having inherited those genes!

I will be absent tomorrow as going up to Hopetoun with Ian (and Zak) to compete in the Scottish National driving championships. Will be a very early start to get there in time for our first class and I have all my animals to see to first and myself to tidy up, so toying with not going to bed and just kipping in the passenger seat on the way up. Fingers crossed the car makes it this time!! Thankfully it is forecast to be cooler and breezy, but hopefully not wet.

@SueEK Also keeping fingers crossed for your BIL. That is a stark reminder that despite the vaccines, there is still a significant risk!

@Northerner and @Bloden Congrats to you both on your House Special achievements of the day
 
@rebrascora
Have a great day tomorrow, hope you get on ok. Birthday wishes to your uncle.
Being absent without leave, LOL. , how can you think of such a thing. Saying about it the day before is surely not giving enough notice?
 
Evening all. 7.3 for me. 🙂 It's still too hot and who's been eating all the cucumbers?!

It makes a change hearing about cucumbers being eaten.
It’s usually said as “whose eaten all the pies”. However, in that response, I realise that many won’t eat the pies due to the carbs.
PS. How do you get the emoj’s to show. When I put them in they disappear.

04:05 BS 8.3 with 2 hours of DP: couldn’t get back to sleep after call of nature; thrown in the towel & watching Olympic rowing heats! 🙄 Still quite stuffed from dinner, though it was 11.5 hours ago so, usual DP busting routine to stop it rising further!🙄

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

Sigh! AND a PANT! The weather still hasn’t broken so, another -2 reduction in NR doses across the board: been kept steadily around 6-8mmol by reducing -2 each day in the heat; kept LR the same as it continues to keep me steady in between meals & will start reducing if there are signs it’s lowering my BS but, as such it’s just the NR that I’m going on instinct honed by previous experience! 😛 That one’s for me panting in the heat! And a sweat drenched & dripping emoji! Just as well you lot DON’T see THAT one & only have the description as it’s NOT a pretty sight!😉
 
Having breakfast now while watching the mens pairs beach volleyball on the red button & it sparks up a gripe about gender equality again: the women were told at The Sydney Olympics to wear bikinis & they have ever since making men drool, including my youngest brother in London 2012 at Horse Guard's Parade; the men should go topless, at the very least if not budgie smugglers, for us women to drool too! 🙄😳😛:D😉 Just waiting for the men’s gymnastics to start in about 20 minutes!😛
 
A pleasing 5.1 at 06:00. We met some friends yesterday afternoon for a figurative coffee and cake (mostly cold drinks and light lunch meals). I resisted the cakes and tray bakes. One of our friends had a pineapple surprise. The surprise was how little pineapple there was, and how much cream!!

I’ve been saying for quite a while now, though intermittently, that there’s simply not ENOUGH emoji’s to fully express myself & asked for more! 🙄 That’s why I verbalise my own! Lightbulb Clever Pants emoji!:D😉

Yes, I also attended the beach volleyball in 2012, and very nice it was too!
 
Good morning. A poor night. Wife was 'off'. Sigh.

5.3 for me this morning.

Out for a long walk in a short while.

Cloudy out there so it should be a tad cooler than of late.
 
Is anyone else on the edge of their chairs for the B&IL vs SA rugby this afternoon?

I have an uneasy feeling I’ll be missing it. We are “shepherding“ my SIL somewhat and will be taking her out today, probably to the north Antrim coast. Her husband was ill for a number of years and she’s had a man trying to get his feet under the table for a good few years. My other SIL (there are three sisters, as I may have mentioned) in particular is going a bit over the top trying to keep them apart, which we think may be counter productive.
