Morning all, 6.4 here. Was supposed to be watching daughter ride today (cross country lesson) but needless to say, with more heavy wind and rain forecast and the ground sodden, it’s been cancelled.
A nice 6.3 on a not so nice morning. I’m sure we’ll be all growing webbed feet shortly. How much more rain can this wee country take?
Got the old crampons ready for tackling the ironing pile later, then got to do a ‘big’ shop or should I just get some ‘ bits’ for the time being? Ah, decisions, decisions. #firstworldproblems
Have a grand day and stay dry if at all possible. 🙂
6 on the nose for me today. Very windy here in Brighton. Dog has done something to her dew claw again so has to go to the vet again today to be sedated and have it removed. She squealed for England yesterday when vet was checking it, grandson in tears and dogs in waiting room agitated - all good fun. Also had the dentist and not good news there, one tooth has ‘died’ and two others need periodontal treatment, last time it cost me £1300, not sure I can afford it this time and may have to lose them. Have spent the last 35 years, since being diagnosed with gum disease in my early 20s, taking really good care and seeing hygienist every 3 months- I hate the dentists. Still have to be sensible and know there are people with a lot worse things.
Have a good day all, stay safe and warm x
Good morning 6.7 on a blustery day, laundry all washed and dried thank goodness for tumble driers. 🙂 Dentist tomorrow one filling needed more money more pain, hope your Dentist looks after you @SueEK and doesn`t charge you a fortune.
7.7 @ 9.09am this morning and yesterday 7.6 @ 11.07am.
I'm watching a royals documentary, very interesting.
I am 14 7.8 and this day last year I was 15 11. I only drink water and the occasional coffee as it's supposed to be good for one's liver.
I hope you all have a splendid day. I am going to my flat to feed Binky, have a shower and a nap and generally chill out. I don't actually like being over there when it's bad weather, the front of the flat gets the brunt of it, the balcony. I'm frightened of the wind! Wimp. Heh?
Up all night, on the hour every hour, I'm living in a nightmare, hope it stops when she gets over this bug, but it'll be ages as it comes back, my cough is back agh.
Good morning All, Bit of a panic in me when did last nights 6.30pm ready it was a 11.8 which is high for me but 2 an 1/2 hrs later it was back to 6.6 not sure why it did this anybody any ideals (they was no food or drink involved) and this morning ready is a 6.5 so not 100% what went on last night and I do take it 11.8 was high it seem to be for me ?

Personally I would've washed my hands and retested, could you have had residue on your hands from anything that might've affected it? I'd always retest that if its unusual for you xx
