Group 7-day waking average?

Morning folks. 6.4. I really don’t want to be up this early on our first day of not having to go anywhere/receive visitors but, alas, the old body wasn’t having it. I’ll just chill.

Mr Eggy’s eye vastly improved, he got into his greenhouse yesterday with Zara and they potted on the tomatoes, chillis and peppers and they’re on a heated mat. They also planted carrot and coriander seeds, separately that is, they’re not a new hybrid vegetable which you can turn into soup. 😉

Just a pottering about day today. I’ll probably spend most of it reading.

Have a spectacular Saturday.

So pleased his eye has improved and returning to normal “ pottering” activity
 
Morning all. 🙂 12.1 here...curve ball, or what? I blame the chickpeas I ate at 6.30 yesterday evening...do they really take all night to digest? I suspect that pesky DF was involved...😉😛

Busy day today. Welsh course this morning, then various important bits n pieces to attend to. Roll on Sunday and a lie-in!
 
Morning all! Saw the folks yesterday and much hilarity ensued.
Mum “Ooh it’s great you’re here, our Sky box isn’t connecting to the internet and we’re can’t sort it out”
“But you’re watching TV right now through the Sky box so it had to be connected”
“No we’re not because it isn’t connected”
Yes it is. Look it’s even got the Sky logo in the corner and the correct time so it has to be connected!
“Well it wasn’t yesterday and we’ve not done anything with it so it can’t be! Also can you help with my phone as I just can’t get it to give me notifications for anything”

I send mum a text. Notification pops up. No sound though.

She’d turned it to silent last week at the King and I and just not switched it off!

Post dinner we played UNO Flip. And nobody could recall the rules, dad can’t see the colours, mum thinks every third go is her turn regardless of direction of play and they want to take it to friends today to play after lunch with a bunch who are dementia sufferers or almost blind or totally deaf!

If anyone has played UNO I recommend picking up an UNO flip as it’s so much fun!

Oh and with a grand total of 21g of carbs consumed yesterday (as per Carb Manager) today I’m rewarded with a long absent 5.2!

Stuff to do this morning and then opera this afternoon that I’m looking forward to. It’s “Giant” and no it’s not an opera version of the James Dean film.

Have a great Mother’s Day Eve everyone!
 
Morning all, 5.6 here. Going to a garden centre later, because I need potting compost, but son is home for the weekend, so he will pick up the tab for tea while we’re there as an early Mother’s day treat. Wouldn’t go anywhere on the actual day, everywhere’s so busy.
 
Must be years since I got a 5.2 fasting! Bit of a hard week, my brain is not where it used to be so plenty to focus on improving at work next week. But, have had more energy this week as my main ME symptom has changed back from fatigue to headaches again. So I started swimming again. 10 lengths on Wednesday and 20 lengths last night.

Today I have the housework to do, meeting a friend for either a walk or coffee, and I need to do the meal plan and the shopping order.

I wouldn’t go anywhere either. It’s like Valentines, a big con! As my girls are all mothers too I tell them every year not to bother coming round but they always do. Secretly I am pleased though.
Had to laugh yesterday, youngest and her two were at ours and daughter said she needed to leave early to go and get something for her mother-in-law for Mothers Day, maybe a blouse. Zara didn’t want to leave and I said to her that she needed to go to buy a present for nanny. She looked at me and said, no Grandma it’s for you! Blabber mouth. :rofl:
 
Congratulations to all today's House Specialists. 🙂
A 4.6 for me this morning.

6.9 today for me. Not really unexpected after a fish & chip supper last night, “because we could”. :rofl:

Visited a friend in a care home yesterday, very sad as she is terminal and looked so ill yesterday. Not sure she will still be with us when we get back from Australia. Sad times. Then spent some time with her husband afterwards back at his place and hopefully helped to cheer him a bit.

Birthday party for my wife’s grand niece later today, which will be a nice family get together.

Congratulations to our quartet: @Gwynn, @Wendal, @ColinUK and @Lucyr on your HS’s today!

Have a good day everyone!
 
5.0 this morning, so wasn't quite able to join today's gathering at the HS Club. Congrats to those who did.

Family safely back home after a 39-hour journey from Christchurch (door-to-door, not all in the air) so the washing machine and tumble dryer are going to be busy this weekend. Have to admit I was surprised when our eldest went off for his usual Saturday Park Run, but not surprised when our youngest took himself off to bed. I would have put money on that. My wife is thinking about a nap but is still busy sorting out the suitcases. Good to have everyone back. The house feels like a home again.

Have a good start to the weekend.

I once took the children to see Wicked and Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie and all their children came in once the lights went down and sat in the row in front of us in the stalls. I couldn't even tell you what the storyline of Wicked is as we basically went to the Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie show and just couldn't stop watching them!
 
8.1 for me this morning - off out into the garden to attack the Ground Elder - it's COLD out there but I've only got an hour to play with today so needs must. Have a good weekend everyone xxx

Good to see you celebrity watch.
Mind you I was at a football match and the person sat next to me kept on asking me where the celebrity’s were and where David Beckham was sat.
I said I did not know but eventually just pointed across at some executive boxes on the other side of the pitch and said across there,simply so I could focus on the football.
Not sure if she took the hint as she disappeared at halftime to find her partner who was located in a different part of the ground.
 
Thankful it’s the weekend - for the non-retirees !! I look forward to the day when I’m a retiree!!!
Hope everyone has a good day.
8.2 when I woke up.
 
6.4 today, got up late so didn’t get on before I went shopping. Definitely feeling better although now sneezing.

Congratulations to @Gwynn @ColinUK @Wendal and @Lucyr on today’s HS. Also congratulations to yesterday’s HS as well.

Tomorrow I will go round to see my mum and do her a small roast dinner, as no point going out as she struggles to eat a whole restaurant meal, and has recently had an afternoon tea for her birthday and came to my friend’s baby shower afternoon tea, so didn’t want another one so quickly.
 
Morning everyone

A 5.9 for me earlier today....
