Group 7-day waking average?

3.3 this morning for me with a bit of a headache but a stem ginger shortbread biscuit, a large glass of water followed by a coffee with butter (gutted that I couldn't get any cream when I went shopping on Fri night) and a 4 mile brisk walk in glorious sunshine has squared me up to a much more comfortable 6.1

That is 2 mornings in a row in the 3s so a night time basal reduction on the cards tonight.

Hope you guys who are off to the shops have a successful trip. I can highly recommend going at 9.30pm if you don't want to queue.... I had Lidl all to myself apart from staff stocking shelves on Friday night.
 
Good morning. 4.2 this morning.

I hope your ur eye settles down @Flower.
Glad to hear that you had a good birthday @eggyg

Like you @Hazel we have a shop to do today.
I have menus planned for the week and the intended list of shopping.
I shall just adapt if anything is missing but things do seem more settled now.

We shall combine the shopping trip with a bit of a longer walk today, which is our normal ‘Day out’.

Have a good day.
 
G'day all. 8.0 @ 6.37am. Nearly popped off in the night again, self-inflicted due to eating too much and especially bread. I've got to stop because the phone is on my side and my poor mother would have to struggle over my stiff fat body to get to it, I can't see it happening, she can hardly maneuver. I had to drink a pint of milk, stomach acid is vile, so it's the SlimFast liver diet for me. I feel very miserable because I just want to eat. I am such a saddo! It states do it for two weeks, how hard can it be ::weeps:: :D

Sorry to hear you’ve been having a rough time @Ditto - the choking at night sounds really scary. I don’t know anything about sleep apnoea but might it be that?

Morning all and 5.7 for me.

Must dig the hair clippers out. I don't have a full head of hair but what remains is getting a bit unruly.

Have a good day everyone.

I’m debating whether to take the clippers to my own hair... what’s left of it!

Morning all and 4.9 or 5.2 depending on which waking you count. Go on I'll claim an HS.

In normal times I'd be firing up the Mini and out for a tootle but hey ho gardening it is.

Had a few song idea swaps with the first singer I worked with yesterday which was very nice.

Welcome to the prescription exemption card not required @eggyg

Have a good day everyone.

Which Mini do you have? And congrats on the HS!
 
7.9 for me this morning.
Went for a lovely 5 mile walk yesterday partly along the canal and then looping back through lots of garden squares.
Yup early enough today to head out for a walk along the canal through to Regent’s Park and the zoo. It’s odd as I don’t like zoo’s but the canal cuts right through the middle of ZSL and it’s always a joy to hear and see some wild beats as you’re walking along a typical English canal.
 
Morning all!
Just missed a HS with a 5.3 this morning, back in the fives!
Well yesterday was an adventure... literally!
Decided on another bike ride along the Forest Way to a place called Hartfield and Pooh corner. Fairly flat but I didn't realise how far!
16.5 miles all told which is nothing for cyclists I'm sure but I am not one!
Got back and 'La derriere' was in all kinds of trouble so I think investment in a gel saddle is a must!
Good news is I met my son coming the other way who I hadn't seen for a while so that was great, he is on his 2nd week of 5 on furlough from Gatwick.
Oh yes and got an Iceland slot for tomorrow... yess!!

Walking like John Wayne a bit this morning...

Blessings Snowwy
 
Good morning all it's a 5.2 from me today hope everyone has a good day and play's safe
 
7.7 this morning, just going up and up!! Jetwashed the back patio at the weekend, didn’t make a huge difference but I know it is clean. Hubby washed the lounge carpet yesterday, looks like new which is great. Work not too bad, another doctor there now so we are quite a mixed bunch all doing a little dance around each other to get from one office to the other, just need some music to accompany us. Have a good day all, I need to get a move on x
 
4.3 pour moi ce matin. 🙂

I while ago I had a little moan about the over-use of the word "unprecedented".

So what's bugging me now?
Yes indeed, that little word "so" has crept onto the start of every answer that any politician (standing at a podium), pundit and expert gives to a question about the you-know-what. 😛

"Will it rain today?"
"So, it's been so sunny recently, so I think it'll stay so." 🙄

Stay safe and well.

Did mine when we first went into lockdown, haha...it’s so liberating! No shampoo (it makes my scalp itch) and no pesky fringe to glue in place every morning (it’s got a mind of its own). Go for it @ColinUK. :D 😛

Morning all.🙂 10.1 here, oops. Over-treated a low last night.

Sorry to hear you’re having a tough time @Ditto. Take care of yourself.

So?😱 My grrrr-word is ‘absolutely’ - I had to turn the radio off the other night. The poor bloke couldn’t start or finish a sentence without it, aaah.
 
Morning
4.6 this morning, text Bruce asking if he wanted me to sign him up to text notifications when his prescriptions are ready to which he replied yes so did that for him yesterday, he has 2 more packs of Ms Molly digestive biscuits for me too so they'll be dropped off with my prescription when its ready

Saw someone moaning on facebook about their child crying so they didnt get to the woods for a wee picnic and instead had to sit in their crappy garden and eat it, they should think themselves lucky, I'd really appreciate even the smallest garden at the moment I could call my own and go and sit in :(
Xx
 
Morning all on yet another glorious morning. Been up since 5.30, a terrible 7.4 today, and I went to bed on a very reasonable 6.6. Went out for a spot of birdwatching at 6 o’clock, primarily to try and get a snap of the sand martins which have just returned to the river bank. They’re fast little blighters! Got back just before 7, a 5.5, much better, but I had had 7 units of bolus and nothing to eat! Nothing exciting in store for me today, Mr Eggy stripping the front door. He’s getting desperate for a project now, so just had a ratch in his shed, saw what he had and made a job to fit it! Have a safe day. 🙂 Oh and congrats @Baz. on the HS.

So, I so absolutely agreed with you, it's absolutely unprecedented. 🙄
 
6.0 this morning.

I hope you had a better night @Ditto.
Congratulations on your HS @Baz.

That pesky ‘unprecedented ‘ is in virtually every report on anything @Bloden and @MeeTooTeeTwo CV, oil prices, .... They should try to do a whole news report without using that word.

The wisteria is just starting to come out but I think it is complaining about the lack of rain a little.
It now holds the pergola up having been there for over 20 years so I am sure it will survive.
 
Good morning. It's wet and miserable but I don't have to go anywhere. 8.3 this morning. Pharmacy finally got some ventilated masks at €3.50 each. I asked for one and was told that I had to go on the list. She unrolled something resembling a roll of wallpaper and put my details on the bottom. There was no room left after that so goodness knows how many people were in front of me. She said 'maybe Friday'. The Spanish maybe translates as 'no chance'.
