If I overeat before going to bed my stress levels are always up too. I find it really quite accurate.

Not 100% accurate though. I was doing a rather difficult and long-winded sudoku last week and my fit band decided that I was having a nap. However, on the plus side, I can now claim to be able to do them in my sleep.

Argh,

My 'freebee' Samsung smart watch has packed up - screen whet all multicoloured lines yesterday now it's black. Was still connected to my phone. Fortunately Samsung have a 2 year warranty, so filled in the return, and hopefully it's collected Friday for repair.

They usually just send you a new / refurbished unit. I had an issue with an old Garmin watch, I contacted Garmin and they asked me to send it to them, although the watch was way past it’s warranty period. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a brand new watch in a retail box complete with charger / connector etc.

I accidentally unplugged my microwave. Now I have to reset the time on it!

Weather still Went out for 25 miles after breakfast. Would like to have done more but I have work this afternoon. I climbed a hill out of the saddle, I think for the first time since the accident so must be getting better. I didn't even plan it, was halfway up and realised I was trying to to power my way up a short, sharp climb rather than gear down like I have been doing.

I called into the supermarket for a few bits while I was out. I usually shop later in the evening but can't just at the minute due to work hours. I always find it strange shopping at this time of the morning as I wonder why people queue for parking spaces outside the door when there is about 3 acres of empty spaces around the back. Also, you will always witness someone who tries to drive against the flow of traffic around the car park one way system and cause a jam up. Why is it so difficult to follow arrows?

I'll be able to tell - there is a couple of blobs of paint on the strap. The watch is perfect as I have a silicone cover over it, due to the fact I usually break watches !

Oh supermarket parking wars. Soo funny. I park out of the way - would rather not get a trolly or door dent, and it's quicker (don't tell em).

I've replaced the felt pads on the bottom of the dining room table & chairs.

I have one pad on one chair that won't stay on, its irritating having to keep gluing it back on, nothing I've tried so far has kept it on, the rest of them haven't budged.

I had called in on my bike but if I had been driving I would have parked out of the way too. It is easier for all sorts of reasons.

The bit I'm curious about is why people who shop in morning seem to do things like that yet when I usually shop in the evenings it doesn't seem to happen and evening shoppers seem more likely to park properly, use the full car park and generally be less selfish.

Ours have lasted quite a while so I'm not complaining, but one of ours doesn't stick too well. I gave the area a wipe with some degreaser so maybe that'll help. I'll let you know next year if it's worked

Mrs Tenkaykev was a member of a posh gym which is in walking distance. She never ceased to be amazed at people vying to get a parking space close to the entrance doors so they'd have a shorter distance to walk🤔

People around here do the same with the local walks. If you are having a walk anyway, I don’t see their logic.

I live in the outskirts of town on a minor road. I tend to walk into town as it is not far. A few miles past my home is a forest which is popular for walks but with so many people driving there just to walk plus the fact that this road also gets used a short cut for people means what should be a lovely single track rural road for a walk or leisurely bike ride is absolutely downright dangerous as people won't slow down for a lower order pedestrian or cyclist

If people would just walk along the road instead of driving to the forest to go for a walk it would be much more pleasant!

For reasons unknown, I put a bottle of Listerine in the fridge when I was putting my shopping away
