Group 7-day waking average?

5.1 this morning. 🙂
C'mon sun! I know you're hiding behind those clouds.

Stay safe and well and in the shade.

08:44 BS 6.6🙂 Yesterday actually turned out quite nice! Today is looking good too! Some sunshine if not quite a heatwave!🙂

Read a pile of books in the conservatory yesterday! Forgot to check in & can’t remember the waking figure now! Probably do the same today!🙄

A very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day full of Sunshine!😉 I rather missed it with all the wet, grey days recently!🙂😎😛 Have a lazy, easy Sunday folks!😎:D😉
 
A 6.8 this morning. Hot here in sunny Suffolk. We are putting the roof back on what was our outside toilet which is becoming an inside shower room. Now newly installed with lights and fan and better insulation.
 
Morning all, a 6.3 today. Late checking in as I got distracted stripping the bed and putting a wash on. Glorious here yesterday and today. Recovered from the cherubs staying over, it was all good fun. We are going to try and do a bit of tidying up in the garden but if it gets as hot as yesterday we might just lounge! @SB2015 we lounge under our pergola, it’s great for dappled shade as it has a grape vine growing over it. Have a sunny Sunday. 😎307B9728-D1A3-4FE1-9419-8BD2A6E4D306.jpeg
 
Good morning all. Its a 4.5 from cloudy Staffordshire. Sorry i haven't been posting for a week, we went away and the reception was patchy. Anyway, weekly average was 6.5, not too bad.
We went walking in Cornwall. Fully armed with face masks, hand sanitiser etc. I can honestly say that we did not see any crowding on the beaches we passed. Everyone was social distancing and mostly the same in the streets. The very few who weren't we kept away from but on the whole everyone behaved well and seemed to follow guidelines. We didn't stay/go to the busier resorts as i understand they were much more full! We ate out and i can say that the restaurant was fab with social distanced tables,ventilation, staff wearing visors and menus that were used only by you then disposed of, all seating was only used once during that sitting and steralised after use. The accommodation was also great, deep cleaned between stays, hand sanitiser and soap everywhere, and communal areas cleaned every day with more sanitiser available there. All in all, i felt very safe.
 
7.1 first thing this morning (6:30am) - Was out with a friend yesterday and we walked through a gorgeous food market in Hackney and I partook of contraband foods - I then proceeded to follow that path all day. So I had quiche with a pastry crust, a pasteis de natas, then much later an exquisite coronation chicken scotch egg, and even later a jaffa cake scotch egg which had an orange jelly centre in an ice cream egg, surrounded by a dark chocolate 'meat' and was obviously deep fried. It was delicious!
We did walk 12 miles all in all yesterday so I'd have worked off about 1/5th of those calories but zero idea what the carb level was.

Anyway... tonight I'm going to have broccoli and mushroom stir-fry with konjac noodles (so really not many carbs at all) and then I'll knock out a 36 hour fast before going straight back on the shakes as per usual.

I did stand on the scales this morning just to see what the gain was after yesterday and it was a whopping 1kg.

There's clearly a physiological impact of eating that many carbs and sugars though as I feel decidedly sluggish this morning.

I imagine you in glorious repose upon the table with Mr Eggy feeding you grapes freshly picked from the vine!
 
Daughter was insistent she wasn’t having anymore after the first, but they moved house about 8 years ago and decided she would, so they had a boy and a girl. She then decided she wanted another but hubby said no way, she eventually wore him down! I’m similar, my three are 36, 33 and 27! It can be a pain trying to entertain them, not now but back in the day! 😉
My mum is (or was as she's the only left now) the youngest by 13 years. So it was her, her sister +13, her youngest brother (3 years older than her sister) and the eldest brother (add another fifteen years on to get to him).
The eldest was married with children who are older than my mum, who was an aunt when she was born and a great aunt at a really young age too. My head hurts when I try to work out who actually begot who in our family!

That made me laugh! But....
1. Don’t think the table would hold my weight, it’s a bit decrepit!
2. It would do my back in lying on the aforementioned table.
3. I’ve never be able to get on said table.
4. The grapes are wine grapes and are very bitter.
5. I might have a go though! 😛
 
It’s going to be another hot one. I found it unbearable yesterday, heat and me don’t sit comfortably together. Eyes are playing up and tooth hurting so not a great start to the day. Had an email last night to say I have a hygienist and dental appt on Tuesday, first I’ve heard of it!! Off back home later today, will be avoiding Brighton beach, I’m surprised we haven’t had a local lockdown due to the amount of people coming.
Anyhow 6.1 for me today, hope you all have a good day. Stay safe and away from the beaches x
Nice site, is it Seaford high up on the rocks?

Blimey! Our youngest daughter (now 27) was an auntie at 14 and she’s now a great auntie, but on her husband’s side. His ( half) sister is 18 years older than him and has just become a grandma. He is 28! We think it’s funny.
 
@SB2015 we lounge under our pergola, it’s great for dappled shade as it has a grape vine growing over it. Have a sunny Sunday. 😎
Ours is covered in wisteria, Jasmin and clematis. I think the wisteria is now holding it up.
We have to replace the nearby fence too so I think it will be cut back quite a bit in the rebuilding of the pergola and the fence replacement. It is now less of a dappled shade and more of a cool black out.

A great place for a sleep in a hot day.

No it is Church Farm at Pagham nr Chichester but it is also a lovely site
 
My 7-day waking average is at best 5.3, at worst 5.55.
Winning 😎
 
Morning all,
A surprising 6.4 this morning...
Does anyone know if a lack of sleep affects the numbers?
Drank a fair bit of fluid yesterday to keep hydrated but the had to get up in the night... Some days you canne win!
Loft room painting duties today
Blessings Snowwy
