Group 7-day waking average?

Yes it is WL for here.
Problem is not so much the cold but trying to get the apartment warm, poor build quality and insulation and no built in heating. They also keep every ruddy window open at work. However, the main issue is the humidity, even though coldish, the humidity is still high South of the Yangze RIver so it gets through to the marrow.
In the North, Beijing etc I have been in temperatures of -25C but it is dry and therefore more tolerable than +5 or +8C here in Shanghai. Also, in Beijing they have built in heating run by the state everywhere.
Noticed a slight change in my levels also, they seem to be slightly elevated, not much, but still slightly higher when the temperature started to drop but still within limits 4-7.
Just over a month left to go then back to the UK.
 
Thanks for sharing Vince ~ perhaps you should move to Beijing to enjoy the benefit of built in heating! 🙂 I've read in a few posts that our bgls are affected by the cold/hot weather. I wonder if that's the reason why my bgls are higher than normal ~ either this or could be timing with the clocks going back.

I am also beginning to come to that conclusion WL..
 
Have a good day everyone .

Thanks and yesterday was much better and today will be even more so!
I am excited to be in Madrid and going to visit the famous painting, 'Guernica' by Picasso this morning. Working later. I hope you have a good day and you are in less pain.
 
Morning all, im back from my holiday. Its a 8.2 for me today. But ive got back to work to find out that in the company reshuffle thing that's going on where they are cutting loads of jobs, my job is at risk. The are cutting 10 manager jobs in my team and we are going from 15 down to 5 managers. And my job is one that might be going. It looks like I will have to re-apply for my own job! Not a great thing to come back to work too.

Sorry to hear this Stitch and these reshuffles are really bad for morale at work. Hoping your job reapplication is successful.
You needed that holiday but what a shocker to return to! :(
