Group 7-day waking average?

Morning everyone, 6.7 for me.

We have decided to shut the cats out of our bedroom at night in order to get them used to it for when the baby arrives. This is going as well as you might expect. We have to blockade our doorway with pillows and throws to stop them scratching. Then I can still periodically hear pitiful mewing and 'scritch scritch scritch' of paws on the door itself. Last night they managed to break in twice and I was very confused to find one of them in the room, believing she had been trapped inside with us, before realising the door was open. Kicked her out in the most loving way! Then the other, mad, one woke me up by jumping on me. It's been 5 days. I feel mean but they need to get used to it.

It's 'Wellbeing Wednesday' and I have a quiet group of students reading with me this morning. I can see another group doing a nature survey outside the window in the sunshine. I moan about my job, but I do love working here really.

Have a good day everyone.

5.6 for me today. 🙂
A mid-morning delivery from Tesco, then off for a sunny (hopefully) walk in the woods.

'If you go down to the woods today......'
Sorry the song popped into my head as soon as I read your post. I will be humming it all day now :D
 
Morning

4.1 today, no real plans, I might wander to knit and natter this afternoon, if the sun stays out it is a pleasant walk, but this would be the first time I have been on a Wednesday. Later going out with the running group, will be a run/walk again. I am thinking of signing up to the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October to run and raise money for a charity, just really deciding which charity, and I am so shallow I could be swayed by whether a T-shirt or running vest is offered as I would only wear a t-shirt as not keen on running vests.

@eggyg - congratulations on your Scottish HS.

@NickE - congratulations on your HS yesterday.

@ColinUK - sorry to hear you are full of a cold.
 
Good morning folks. BG is 8.8 today and I am still feeling a bit under the weather. Whatever it is hasn't fully emerged but I felt exhausted by the mildest exertion yesterday.
Had to clean the chicken coop out while hubby stood guard as our cockerell is still being feisty. I am thinking of renaming him to Sir Stropalot.

Congratulations on your HS yesterday @NickE and on yours today @eggyg
Love the beachcombing selection. I have quite a few bits collected over the years.
I go beachcombing while hubby does shore fishing. Not been to the coast yet this year.

Hope you feel better soon @ColinUK and @Lisa65

Quiet day again today and hopefully I will be OK by Friday for my Tai Chi class.
Have a good week everyone and enjoy the return of the sunshine.

I found a sea urchin, it was dead, so I’ve brought it back with me, along with razor shells and others I don’t know.

Ensure there's no bits of body left in the shells.... we once took MIL to Barbados on a working trip. She picked up some coral which was very pretty and it subsequently stank the hotel room out! We had to persuade her to ditch it!

It does smell a bit. 😱

Soak them in a solution of soda crystals for an hour then rinse thoroughly. That should get rid of any debris and make them smell nicer. Also storing them outdoors for a few days helps too.
 
Good morning - it clouded over and was quite cold yesterday afternoon, just as I was about to take my book into the garden. This morning it's sunny again, but a little bit hazy. That bitter wind seems to have dropped, fingers crossed!

5.4 this morning with the most wondrous flat line! Except for a low around midnight... but I slept through it and had no raucous alarm going off. In fact this blessed new phone was quiet all night. I think DND might have been on, as it's started making noises again this morning. Though I had told it that CamAPS was an exception. Sigh, it's a blooming mystery and I'm befuddled with all the settings and no idea where to go for help!

Hopefully I'll get a walk in today. Tonight is the night we meet our local friends in the pub for an hour or so from 5:30. So looking forward to that and will leave a tray of mediterranean veg ready prepared with some German sausages for dinner when we get home.

They are very pretty tho'. Can you drop it in a bucket of bleach? Congrats on your HS too

Wishing @silver minion @ColinUK and @Lisa65 better soon.

Have a good day all...
 
Home-Alone-Wednesday and a day to myself, although my wife has left me a long shopping list. She's getting together with a couple of former 'football mums' whose sons played in the same team as our eldest, and who she hasn't seen in a while, and has been nominated to provide a fruit salad. Lots of catching up to do, I expect. Our eldest is the only one of the three boys still playing, albeit futsal rather than 11-a-side.

Plumber couldn't come and fit our new radiator yesterday as he had to respond to an emergency callout, so he's having to reschedule. We don't have a new date yet but the CH is off anyway, so it's not a problem.

@eggyg - congratulations on your HS this morning and yours yesterday @NickE

@silver minion @ColinUK and @Lisa65 - hope you're all feeling better soon.

Will crack on with painting the inside of our summer house once I've got the shopping done and dusted, but in the meantime it's a coffee and the newspaper.

5.1 for me this morning.

Have a good day, all - looks like Spring's returned here, blue sky and sunshine and no more cold northerly wind.
 
Good afternoon all - 7.1 when I woke this morning. Been busy in the gardens at Askham Hall all so far today - everything is growing madly but they're trying to get things out of the polytunnel and greenhouses when they can as obviously require so much watering. So this morning I have been planting out chard and then putting a nice layer of year old manure on them (with my hands as it was easier than with a fork). Yesterday they were wondering what was happening to a nice patch of Chervil that they'd planted and then they found a blackbird sitting on a chervil lined next in a porch way - so sweet! I'm loving seeing and hearing about @eggyg staying in my favourite place (PS: don't tell her that one of the things I always do when I arrive up there is chuck out everyone's shell collection that they've put on window sills :rofl: ). Have a good day what's left of it. Oh and I'm off to choir in a minute for our last practice before our little VE Day concert that we're singing in the grounds of St Andrew's Church in Penrith tomorrow evening at 9pm before they light the beacon. I've had The White Cliffs of Dover and We'll Meet Again playing in a loop in my head for last 2 months!

Don’t worry they’ll be coming home with me. Not sure about the sea urchin, not sure the smell will ever go away!

Not sure there’ll be any soda crystals in the cottage. I’ll have a ratch. I had it in water overnight, think putting it outside might help.
 
A surprising 5.3 this morning, flat-line 5s all night too, but it was very nice to see. All I have to do is do something about the basal doses if I can.

My wife's been sorting out the back bedroom's floor of xmas bags - has she seen the light yet? It still looks better anyway.
We agreed that I'd try and bring on her new lappy at the weekend (She's not looking forwards to dealing with her passwords. Who does?) I'll make it as painless as I can.

Congratulations on your HS @eggyg earlier on.

@silver minion @ColinUK and @Lisa65 - hope you're all feeling better soon, awful feeling under the weather.

Lovely morning here
7.1 for me
We are off out of the big city to Peebles, a small town where the views of the river tweed are brilliant. We used to go there often with my wife for the hill walking, now with her disability we only go for a short stroll which we love.
@eggyg good score

Hi Homer,
Your mention of Peebles brought back memories of playing rugby with the Borders Schools like Galashiels, Melrose and Peebles.
I thought it must have grown since it is now a “City” but in my last visit about 7 years ago it looked the same.
We had a Sales Meeting staying at a very nice hotel and had an Indian Meal in the evening and did a 10 Mile hike and as you say the Hills are magic.
Hope you and your wife are well
