Group 7-day waking average?

I've got muscle aches and pains that would win a gold medal if it were an olympic sport. Two things stop them. The one I like to use is CBD oil 10% strength three or four times a day. Any overexertion the previous day (as this was) only Tramadol will fix it, under the influence of which I am typing, though I would prefer my brain to be in the same postcode as my head. Back on the CBD tomorrow, I hope.

Good to hear you’ve found something that works Mikey. CBD isn’t a good option for me (even if I could access the medicinal stuff).
The more respected research suggests that CBD might promote homing of lymphoma cells from blood into secondary lymphoid organs where they receive pro-survival signals.
Studies show that CBD's inhibit CYP3A4.

Not good for me to have the dodgy cells fleeing the peripheral blood and hiding out in the spleen and nodes.
Tramadol might do the trick but I doubt it will help these rotten high glucose levels! :(

Regards, Amigo
 
Evening. Over 10 this morning. I'm blanking it.

Hope everybody has a restful nights' sleep and a good day tomorrow. 🙂
 
Can’t believe I’m first up and I have such good news too. 5.2!! Very happy with that, had a huge plate of roasted vegetables for tea, there was so much veg I had 10 of my 5 a day! I added some chick peas for protein and a wee bit of sweet potato for carbs. It was delicious, I might even consider becoming vegan, thought about it, it’s not gonna happen! Up at the crack because my back/ hip/ general pelvic area is acting up, nothing too serious just enough to keep me awake. Then the mind starts whirring, busy few days ahead, usual Friday ironing, plus I want to start sorting clothes, toiletries and general things we want to take on our short break on Monday. Very, very special day tomorrow, I’m getting my hair cut and coloured! 21 weeks and 3 days since it was last done! Oh and it’s our Ruby Wedding Anniversary too! 😉 Got a small celebration with the family on Sunday so got some prepping to do. Busy, busy, chop, chop, better get on. Have a fab Friday everyone.🙂45DD604E-AF08-4BEE-8DEE-B29120AA87FB.jpeg

Wow @eggyg a HS AND a Ruby Wedding Anniversary, many congratulations!! Have a fab short break 😎
 
well I nearly got there but mines a 5.3 today, ooh well may be tomorrow
 
Morning all,
A 6.1 this morning again which is not bad after a celebratory Chines meal with a friend yesterday.
Well our 'virtual cruise' has ended as we return to dock in Corfu town once more ready for disembarkation.
It's been and amazing journey really and fun to research making the best of cancellation and lockdown. Thank you to the 'virtual stowaways' that joined me but now I think you might have to get off too while the cabin staff come and tidy up.
I leave you with a few interesting facts about Corfu...
1. The island was first recorded as populated in 1300 BC
2. The first naval battle took place in 665 BC in the ionian sea
3. Corfu had the first Greek university
4. It is famous for its large quantity of churches, there are 37
5. The Duke of Edinburgh was born there
6. There are 55 species of orchids on Corfu
7. There are 4000 olive trees in Corfu giving 3% of the worlds oil
8. It has a record number of beaches for an island, 119
9. The first Greek tennis club is in Corfu, founded in 1896
10. Its home to many rare reptiles such as the Balkan green lizard.
Well that's all from me on this journey, stay safe everyone, stay alert

I really enjoyed your cruise and I think if the world ever returns to normality we’ll book it, I’ve only been on 1 cruise and that was last January / February just before it all kicked off But we loved it
 
Good Morning everyone
@eggyg A HS to start your very special weekend. Congratulations to you both
@Snowwy Thank you for a lovely virtual holiday
OH got his op appointment through for 11/8 and he can't garden for a month afterwards, so guess were we will be today
6.4 for me
Best Wishes
 
Morning all, 4.4 here, with slightly aching legs after our grand day out yesterday. We walked over 8 miles, and Id forgotten how hard London pavements are. Ferreted out a lot of small churches, including one rebuilt after the a Great Fire then flattened by the Blitz, which has been turned into a tranquil garden. Can’t believe I used to work about ten minutes walk from it, and never knew it existed! London was so quiet! Reminded me of a Sunday morning in the 1970s when nothing was open (not even the city churches)
Ive enjoyed my 'cruise' with you, @Snowwy, brought back a lot of good memories from when we did similar.
Congratulations on the HS, @eggyg.6772DD25-0E22-44A6-A13C-D0D97E9BFAFA.jpeg676ABE45-3449-4B49-BED6-7A9922410486.jpeg1E196E4D-8E40-4444-91C7-1444F1D934AD.jpeg

Morning

Well I at least got a little sleep last night, around 12-4am before I had to get up to the loo again, surely this jippy tummy can't last much longer, looks like I'll be missing yet another dose of Perindopril though, I at least seem to have colour back in my face, apparently Wednesday night especially I was as white as a ghost

Not surprised that it's a 7 this morning, spent yesterday higher than I like but hey ho can't be helped

Stay safe and enjoy your day folks
xx
 
Morning all and 5.5 for me.

Excellent band rehearsal last night even without guitarist who had been up all the previous night star spotting and fell asleep in the afternoon. Nevermind gave me a chance to give the new keys a workout and another song for the album written.

Have a good day.
 
7.1 today :( Thanks for the cruise @Snowwy have thoroughly enjoyed it. Congrats on the HS and your Ruby wedding anniversary @eggyg, enjoy your holiday.
Overcast today here in Pagham. Disasters going on in my sons house with a rogue plasterer who most definitely is not a plasterer, he has created havoc. He got a builder friend of his to come out and see what he had done and said it is the worst bit of plastering he has seen in his 30 years of working as a builder. We have him booked to do our two bedrooms in 10 days. 😱 Needless to say he will be cancelled and I will have to try and get our deposit back, may have to contact Trading Standards if he doesn’t give it back aargh!!
Have a good day all x
 
Morning all. Its a 5.6 for me. Rainy here atm..where is the summer?
 
@eggyg Congrats on the HS and bigger congrats on your Ruby Wedding!
 
Narrowly missed a house special today with a 5.3
 
5.4 for me today. 🙂

Stay safe and well everyone.
