Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, or is it still night time? It’s pitch black still at 7.45! Back to it, the score on the door is 6.4. Move over @Northerner a new poet is in town! :D

Not venturing far today, or tomorrow ( apart from cut and colour, Mr Eggy can drop me off and pick me up at the door) or Friday! We have weather warnings for floods up here until Friday evening. It’s also windy but surprisingly mild. Crazy damn weather. My walking total this week will probably be a measly 1 mile, which I did going to the butchers and Tesco on Monday. No more walking to be had for the rest of the week as we’ve got the little darlings all day Friday and Saturday, and I mean ALL five of them! Although TBF baby Zara isn’t sleeping over on Friday night. Not quite ready for that, us I mean, not her! Halloween party on Saturday night so they can “ help” me prepare for that! We must be bonkers! PS we love it really! 😉

Have a fab day all, try not to get too wet. 🙂
@rebrascora congrats on yesterday’s HS.
@Bloden I love my half unit pens.
@Grannylorraine good luck for today.
 
5.6 for me this morning. 🙂
@Grannylorraine hope all goes well for you today.

6.7 today, then I took two puffs of my steroid inhaler and decided to test again ... 7.7 I disregard the second reading as contaminated lol
 
7.3 today for me. 6.2 at bedtime last night. I took this 'photo in 2002 at a bus stop in country West Aussie when on my way to Merredin. This was taken just outside Clackline. It was about 42deg at the time. Typical Aussie practicality.

@khskel Had a look at your video, interesting but I'd need to be on my second whisky to really appreciate it. It isn't like so much of the non-musac of today, the samey sameness of singer after singer. When I think of all the brilliant music we had growing up, from Pink Floyd to Peter Green, Clapton and Santana to Thin Lizzie, the Beach Boys with tracks like Good Vibrations and Queen with many of their tracks. Modern music all sounds the same to me.

Morning folks, 7 on the nose for me today. Got another couple of Christmas pressies yesterday and am off to order worktops, sink and taps for the caravan this morning. It’s costing more than I expected and wondered whether we shouldn’t go ahead with it but decided we need to keep it as nice as possible as we rent it out.
@Grannylorraine wishing you all the best for you today, I’m sure your dad will be watching over you. Much love to you xx
@Michael12421 glad to hear you’re feeling better x
Have a good day all x
 
Morning All
A 7.6 for me this morning.
hopefully get my flu jab today and also book covid booster for on or after 16th November. Stupid thing is I still don’t like needles being injected into me. No problem with me doing it, but bet they won’t allow that.
 
Good morning everyone 🙂
I don't know what's gone wrong here
8:03am 13.2 - tresiba 16.0 units and also 2.0 units of humalog correction done
23:06pm bedtime 14.5
 
Bit ashamed to say Married at first sight. Utter rubbish, but strangely addictive. Just put the first one on whilst doing pile of ironing. Even hubby got hooked.
When I find Below Decks I binged the whole lot.
Utter trash and utterly wonderful viewing.
 
Text received yesterday to book for my covid booster. Booked for late afternoon yesterday and done.
Felt freezing cold and shivery last night and decidedly off today.
BG a whopping 8.4 this morning but at least I’m triple jabbed now.
 
@Grannylorraine Good luck for today, hope all goes well for you. Regards.
 
Morning

9.5 here :(

So well after a month after ordering Bruce's anniversary present and I'll never see it. they apparently shipped it on the 28th September, they ignored 2 emails, 7 phone calls, eventually got a response on Facebook messenger last week where they said if it didn't arrive in the next post to let them know and they would remake it and send it straight out, when I let them know it hadn't arrived they went back to ignoring me again, they eventually refunded me on Monday only after me threatening to take the matter further and they didn't even apologise! They were left a not so nice review on Google!

@Grannylorraine hope all goes well today xx

Oh so did we... wish we could find season 2. Watched “British Airways then and now” last night which was interesting as it featured some people we knew when we flew for them in the 70s and 80s. Then caught up with Carol Drinkwater in Provence (less interesting). Got to bed at midnight and 6.6 this morning.

@Christy I wonder if we can get MAFS on catch up as I have a pile of ironing today.

@Grannylorraine wishing you luck and a successful outcome.

Got mine Sunday, no real after affects xcept slightly sore arm, but notice BGs are more like mini mountain peaks than rolling hills since.

The Below Decks and Below Decks Med are split over Netflix and All4 it seems and they flit between what's available where quite a bit but I've seen them all lol

Sore arm - especially when I try to move it - dull background ache - nothing like as much of an impact as the first two but really sore throat which is new and raised BG and pulse rate although BP is the same.
It'll settle down again in a few days I'm sure.

I'm just an old punk at heart with smattering of glam, prog and classical thrown into the mix.
