Group 7-day waking average?

5.3 at 06:00

Well done to England!
 
And further to my earlier post I’ve just booked tickets for the Wallace Collection (later today), the National Gallery (because I miss losing myself in my favourite paintings) and the Imperial War Museum (specifically to see the Ai WeiWei installation).
Art and culture makes me happy and with a mask there’s zero reason to not embrace it again I feel.

Sounds lovely. Anything we might have seen you in, were you on stage or on screen? Go on - share with us x
 
@SueEK I mainly did stage stuff, some plays for Sky Arts, a few bits and bobs for Japanese TV (which was so peculiar because they were dubbing is into Japanese and couldn’t care less what we actually said in English ever) and some film.
Smallest thing was a four hander set in a lift. We actually played in a lift with the audience joining us between floors
Largest audience for theatre is either the Lowry or somewhere in the UAE on a tour of Macbeth with an audience of about 1500 - 2000 a time.
Smallest was at a fringe venue in Hoxton. Cast of 9, five band members - audience capacity 250 but this night an audience of one. He left halfway through the first act
Biggest production I’ve ever been on was Skyfall. Honestly never seen anything like that scale before or after.
 
Ooh and one thing I’m actually really rather proud off was that I was the face of Just Eat on Wednesdays - and anyone who knows me is amazed that I could pull off looking like a builder Darling!

The food (Thai chilli chicken salad) was freshly cooked by chefs working in the studio and smelt delicious. It was replaced roughly every five minutes with a fresh batch but half the box was full of polystyrene blocks, the food was glued to the fork and the whole lot sprayed with glycerine to give it that “just cooked” look

Its a 9.6 from me this morning, probably due to a bit more protein from last nights tea giving me the overnight spike. Oh well, it tasted nice. On the plus side ITS HAIRCUT DAY!!! I shall feel like a new person with no more grey and no straggly ends. Can't wait . @Snowwy thats a lovely quote and one i shall be looking at and thinking about often. Have a good day everyone, weather supposed to be nice over the next 3 days
 
Morning

Fancying a change for breakfast some day so on the hunt online for some cacao nibs, thinking about making some peanut butter and cacao nib granola, plenty oats in the house so may as well give it a go! Lol

Anyways its a 6.8 for me today, was 8.8 at bedtime again but had a biscuit as wasn't risking what had happened that morning again!

Have a nice day folks
xx
 
Morning all, 5.1 or 6.3 here, depending on whether you take the 6.30 or 7.30 am reading. When I got my hospital report, following my telephone consultation, the doctor had suggested I reduce basal by a half unit so that I didn’t have to go to bed as high as the 7s. This isn’t something we’d actually discussed during the conversation, and I could have told her it wouldn’t work, it would just result in me going higher at the other end of the night. But I thought I'd better give it a try and produce the figures to prove it.

Yum, that sounds lovely. Let us know how it tastes. I bought these cacao nibs from amazon, they're nice. They do do smaller bags.Screenshot_20200729-080359_Amazon Shopping.jpgScreenshot_20200729-080359_Amazon Shopping.jpg

Just took BG again and.... after a coffee and a morning shake it’s 5.3 so the previous one must be dawn effect. Unless the cat was feeding me croissant overnight.

I’m here! 6.7. Lazy Eggy today. 9.30am! I must have needed it. Had a fab day yesterday, out the cottage for 12 hours. Puffins on Bempton Cliffs ( see pics on bird post in Off the Subject). Seals at Flamborough Head and turnstones at Bridlington. We walked for miles, got wind burn, sunny and dry but eeh by gum it’s windy on this east coast of Yorkshire. Three layers on and it still was cutting through us! Having a day walking the locale today after a lazy morning. We’re just a couple of mile from the Humber estuary so we’ll go there today to get wind battered! Have a great day all.🙂

That’s hysterical, doesn’t sound very tasty haha. Well done on your achievements, some more successful than others it seems and Skyfall - well what can one say darling!!

Looking very butch there Colin. 😉
 
The gentleman next door just gave me a watermelon, the size and weight of of a bowling ball. Just Googled for information and am informed that I really should not partake of it. What a pity.
 
I always wondered how they make food look like it's just been cooked......
Glue and glycerine sprays usually although there are some other tricks of the trade for things like cake (usually frozen) and ice cream (often mash potato that’s whipped and coloured as per requirements).
Just remembered I did a rice crispie squares ad and we had a huge pile of squares to use for about a ten second segment. Probably got through 40 or so of them. And some were polystyrene squares covered in the rice crispies and then spray painted. They were so sticky it was ridiculous.
