The road outside was definitely looking damp when I first looked outside, but I would say the last rainfall was earlier than the 6am shown in the screenshot above. The latest revision to the forecast correctly shows sunny spells for a couple of hours. With over half the sky looking blue this could be a very long sunny spell. From 10am the sky will start to cloud over, but it will just be light cloud until 1am. From then the cloud will be a bit darker, and rain will start to fall at 2pm. By 3pm the sky will have turned black, and the rainfall will be heavy. At 4pm the sky will brighten up, but the rain will still be heavy. From 5pm there will be some light rain, and from 6pm the rain will stop, the sun will come out, and then promptly set. The chances of this forecast being anywhere near accurate are very slim, but it probably gives the general flavour of the day ahead. The afternoon temperature will probably only hit 15° C. Tomorrow could be the first completely dry day for ages, and it should feature quite a few hours of sunshine, and a few more hours of sunny spells. Sadly it may only reach 16° C for about a solitary hour.
 
   I think that I may have done less yesterday than the day before. Like the day before I washed a few more t-shirts, and some other assorted stuff, but that was the only easily described thing I did. Somehow I didn't seem to feel bored, and somehow I didn't seem to have enough time to spends hours and hours reading and snoozing. I can't recall all I did, but I know I did lots of little jobs that when combined must have taken quite a few hours. Doing a system/software update on my laptop was one such job. In reality I just clicked a few buttons and let it get on with it by itself.
  My second largest job of the day was some cooking. Pictured above is my version of corned beef hash. Maybe it was corned beef hash because I am not sure what corned beef is exactly. My version has home grown potatoes over a bed of home grown tomatoes, some sliced red onion, and a bottom layer of corned beef. There is a very generous splash of hot pepper sauce over the potatoes.

  I started by slicing, and then precooking the potatoes. Once they were cooking I opened a can of corned beef, and squidged it into the bottom of the pyrex dish. I then put some sliced red onion, and sliced tomatoes on it. I baked it for maybe 30 minutes until the tomatoes and onion looked soft. I then covered the top with sliced potato, and baked the whole lot for about 40 minutes. If I had a fiercely hot oven these times would have been a lot less, but my mini oven only goes up to 200° C.

  This dinner was cooked nearly half an hour before my usual dinner time of 6pm. On this occasion, maybe because it was a special home invented/cooked diner, I allowed it to cool down for 20 minutes before eating it. Before I started eating it I thought it was quite a big meal, but once I started shovelling it in it didn't seem to last long. It was one of the most delicious meals I have eaten for some time !

  I felt rather full after eating dinner, but I think that was less to do with it being a big meal, and more to do with having been constipated all day long. Before I went to bed I took some laxative. At one point I thought that laxative had started working far earlier than expected, but it was just a little wind. That did make me feel a bit more comfortable when I went to bed. I think that after reading for a while I probably turned the light out sometime soon after 10pm

  I fell asleep quite quickly, and slept really well - at least I think I did. I can only recall a mere flash of a dream. It was about adapting bicycles to carry boxes of food by strengthening the bracket used for the front lamp. At least I think that was what it was about. My memory of it is very vague. The only real notable thing last night was going back to bed after getting up for a wee, and finding my pillow, and a few bits of bedding were damp from sweat. I may have been a bit over generous with the pepper sauce on my dinner, or maybe it was a fever or something.

 I didn't feel too bad when I woke up this morning. Once again I had slept through until it was light outside - about 7.20am. I probably felt as creaky as ever, but otherwise I had little to complain about. It took a little while until the previous night's laxative did it's stuff, and it did it well, although I suspect I'll be visiting the toilet for more of the same sometime this morning. I party base that assumption on my weight. I can't have put on that much in such a short space of time !

  My plans for today are as vague as ever. As I sit here the idea of a long walk does not appeal, but I ought to try for one for the simple reason that until about 1pm the weather may be favourable for it. There is also the fact that I will probably need to stay in tomorrow to receive two deliveries. One should be new supplies of beer, and the other a big box of goodies from Star Bargains. The latter should include 6 bottles of Diet Coke, and 2 bottles of "Strawberry Twist" Diet Coke. It is going to be a very heavy box !!
