Group 7-day waking average?

5.3 this morning, starting to do better now back at home and eating normally again!

We have a new edition to the family-in-the-making today as well, and then there were three :

@Gwynn - hope you’re ok and glad you’re finding things to do beneficial. Your keyboard antics causes me to ask you, do you know The Keyboard’s On My Foot? 😉

Take care everyone!
 
Good morning. 6.0

How pleasant to see some blue sky after yesterday, although there is still plenty of cloud about.

Still boringly incapacitated so decided to do a Tesco's order - ah - slight problem - no delivery slots this week at all! While it is true that I need to be stricter with my diet and get some weight off I draw the line at total starvation. I can, I think, do the drive but I am not walking well enough to get around the shop. Click and collect it is then. I hate buying veggies which i haven't picked out myself as they weirdly all have short dates on them. Couldn't possibly be a mean commercial instruction from management to packer could it?

Have a good day all.
 
5.5 for me on a rather grey, dull and misty - yes, misty - Berkshire morning. Everything outside was soaking wet when I opened the curtains this morning, too. It's forecast to brighten up but, inevitably, there's rain coming in this afternoon. Shame, after the last 2 sunny days I was hoping to get some garden maintenance in and, as today's a washday, our washing dry on the line.

@Eternal422 - Gwynn's old enough to remember the PG Tips ads so hopefully he gets the joke.

@Gwynn - please to see your BP's come down. No surprise it was up with what you've had to contend with. My HR is mostly low 50s too but I do sometimes get a 60-something. It's not something I worry about.

Can't believe it's May already.
 
And its another 5.2 for me with a nice straight ish line was hoping to start on the garden but it raining fingers crossed it will be better later on have a good day everyone

Snap. Mine was also 6.4 with a flat line.

For once the sun has got it's hat on... hip hip hip hip hooray!

Off out for lunch with a girlfriend now and then home and meet friends in the local early evening. Dinner is in the fridge all ready to warm up for when we get in. Our new garden arch has been delivered this morning so we can get on with erecting that tomorrow if it doesn't rain again.

@Pam123 - my alarm is always going off when I am having a hot shower. Not at all convenient! Congrats on your HS.
 
Just finished clearing the house side passage. It was covered with weeds and stuff. See attached.

I am in shock!!!

I have just had a phone call from my wife! She sounded calm, coherent, and settled. The call went really well. Over 20 minutes. My fears may have been unfounded. A real answer to prayer.

I am both joyful and shocked at the same time. I wonder what this will do to my blood pressure!

This is so unlike the last time, thankfully
 
Another one on the 6.8 step this morning
 
Good morning everyone

BG 4.6
BP 126/78 that's not too bad considering things

Today a real bash at the front and back gardens and some cleaning to do around the house.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
 
Morning a 6.7 for me and another gentle line overnight.
Nice quiet day in lead up to B/H weekend with nice trip to Cheshire countryside and looking forward to trying a new lunch spot with decent weather.
Lovely start to day walked the dogs and settling down and starting to get a few little jobs sorted out.
Anyway finally looks like weather in the up and that tends to help spread the smiles.
 
Forgot to post earlier!

Last evening 18:56 BS 8.1 Body clock is moving round backwards this time after my scan left me out of whack with the half a night’s sleep this which was better than none at at all as per usual. Didn’t talk as much to the hospital transport driver this time & tried to rest my eyes as they were so blurry I had a kind of heightened 3D effect with rainbow refracted edges kind of like the 3D pictures that were trendy once upon a time where you unfocused your eyes until you see the picture: my eyes were unfocused from tiredness; that heightened 3D look with refracted rainbows is what those 3D pictures look like & I saw everything that way on Tuesday! It was a surreal looking day! 😱:rofl: I’m getting up earlier & eventually get up early enough to have a normal day! 🙄😱:rofl:

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

PS: Been getting experimental with cooking again & trying out some YouTube chicken & potatoes recipes. Just waiting for some herbs & spices in today’s shopping later, delayed a bit this week for Tuesday’s trip to Belfast & yesterday’s social worker visit, to try out a Kenyan recipe & I post about it after I’ve tried it. With chicken, potatoes, onions, garlic, cumin, fresh coriander leaves, chilli flakes, paprika, lemon juice & fennel. There’s only three herbs & spices I don’t like & they are fennel, dill & lemongrass so, didn’t get fennel & see what it tastes like without it? Will try a cajun chicken & potatoes recipe next week: 1 new thing at a time each week? :confused:

Good morning all. 6.2 on this lovely morning. Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous, so much so we ate our lunch outside. After half an hour we had to go in as we were burning! TBF, we aren’t used to it!

Last day before leaving for our Scottish holiday tomorrow. Cut and colour at 10am, I’ll pop to the butchers first for the meat and then Tesco to fill up with petrol. Then just the packing to do and a Hoover through. Very excited, weather looking good for the next few days in the Highlands, think it’s warmer up there than the rest of the country! Hoping to set off by 8am, it’ll take us at least seven hours but I’ve just realised it’s the Bank Holiday weekend and the NC500 route, which our cottage is on, might be a tad busy! There isn’t any WiFi or phone signal in the immediate area so you may not hear from me after tomorrow morning, so don’t worry! 😛

Have a good day and I hope the sun is shining for you too.
