Group 7-day waking average?

5.3 and can't believe how cold it is today, luckily still got my Winter clothes out.
Have a wonderful week everyone.
Freezing here this morning NJ...heating on & likely to stay on until I go out.
 
Morning lovelies 🙂
Not much sleep again, neighbours dragging furniture across the floor at 10:30, oyster catchers letting me know they were about at 11 🙄
Cold start here as well
Anyways it's a 5.5 for me this morning
Hope you all have a nice day! :D xx

We have a wood pigeon here who likes to make his presence know K...I know exactly how that feels...wind kicking up...rain expected...just the sort of day you want to stay at home.
 
OMG! Almost froze my toesies off this morning when I went to the bathroom. 07:27 BS 8.2. VERY thick ground frost & the windows too! Crikey! 8.2 is high this morning when I went to bed on a 6.9! But, having pork casserole for breakfast. Put it in the slow cooker overnight & it’s lovely & warming this morning! 🙂

Morning all, 4.7 here, and that after another 3am hypo. Down goes the basal again, I suspect, I put it back up again when the weather turned cold again, but it's still cold......so goodness knows what's going on!

Don't think we're expecting any rain today, just clouds later xx
 
Haven’t tested yet, still snuggled under the warm duvet.

Had the week from Hell and have a cataract assessment consultation today to discuss the procedure. Oh whooppee do! 🙄

Hope all goes smoothly at the consultation 🙂
 
7.3 here today on a glorious sunny morning - must be summer weather coming...🙂
 
Morning all, I'm back! A 9.2 for me today. Did I fly back from Lanzarote and travel back in time to winter!? I had a fantastic time away. Now off to catch up with what everyone has been up to.

Welcome back Stitch! glad to hear you had an amazing holiday! :D xx
 
I read the shocking story of this massacre in 'The Rape of Nanking' :( Horrific, inhuman treatment of the Chinese :(
Yes it was Northie and that is the root of the tensions between China and Japan. There is also the occupation of what was at the time Manchuria and the Last Emperor Pu Yi. Don't know if you have seen the flim or read the book.

Yes, both. I became very interested in China and its history a few years ago. It really brings it home to you how Euro-centric the history is that is taught in schools (I took 'A' level history and it was almost entirely European in context). Of course, in my early years at school in the 1960s the history was mostly related to the glory of Empire - as an adult I've become much better informed about how this country acquired its wealth and power and it doesn't make pleasant reading :( The Japanese were cruel, but so were the British in the 19th C (thinking in particular of the Opium Wars and the destruction of the Summer Palace :(

I actually feel ashamed at this. The Chinese have not and will never forgive us for both of those events. Both absolutely acts of wanton greed and violence. When we start to understand that, we then understand why they are absolutely determined never to let that happen again and hence their aggressive stance on many issues.
We should also remember what we did in India with acts such as Amritsa and the Zulu wars with Shaka. Pure greed. Shaka was a total genius at the beginning. People such as he and a few others historically, fascinate me. Oh! how different the World could have been.
 
6.6 for me, but not feeling great today, and had a small price for french bread yesterday evening, so actually quite pleased with that.
Hope you perk up as the day progresses Lorraine 🙂 Although I doubt the weather will play a part in that - have been out this morning and it's more like January out there! 😱
