This morning it definitely feels cool, and no matter whose forecast you trust, it is going to be a very cool day. The BBC reckon the afternoon temperature could have a few peaks of 19° C, but the Met Office say it will be a flat 17° C this afternoon. The latest revisions both say there will be rain this afternoon, and maybe a shower or two this morning. On the whole it is very probably going to be a horrible sort of day. Tomorrow should be several degrees warmer, and the cloud may be lighter, but there will be very little sunshine. Rain is also very possible.

  Yesterday I reported I had eaten some sandwiches after my shopping trip to Aldi, and that they made me feel tired. For a while I lay on my bed reading, and I think I may have even had a very short snooze. The more optimistic forecast from The Met Office made my desire to go out seem more worthwhile. I left it fairly late to go out, but not late enough to need to go for the shortest walk possible to get to Angela's favourite park bench. I felt quite sluggish when I first started walking, but that quickly wore off. I almost did more than a short walk ! I was very happy that Angela turned up about three minutes after I arrived at her favourite park bench. That and the afternoon sunshine made for a pleasant day - much better than I had imagined it might be. The full details of my walk, plus some pictures taken along the way, what I ate, how I had a crap sleep last night, and the good and bad points this morning are all in my full archive page for today.

   At 6am it seemed quite bright out, but it is now looking a lot duller. If today's forecast matches reality it could be a very dull, and rather cool day. Maybe 8am and 9am will feature some sunny intervals - the latest revision of the forecast has kept then in. With an afternoon temperature of just 18° C, and probably not even a single ray of sunshine to take the edge off it, it has all the ingredients for a bloody miserable day. Tomorrow may be two degrees warmer (20° C), but under a grey sky, with a possible threat of rain, tomorrow may be nothing to look forward to. In fact it is looking like the first week of July is going to be pretty poor.

  I've just taken a break to go shopping in Aldi while it is quiet there. I kept expecting to see one of the sunny spells the BBC weather forecast predicted - there were none ! However I did feel some fine rain blowing in the wind. I wondered if the BBC, or MeteoGroup, who now provide their forecasts, had somehow mixed up rain and sunshine. So recent forecast would suggest they have. That prompted me to find the Met Office forecasts web page. It tells a different story to the screenshot of the BBC's web page.
  I don't like the format of this forecast, but if it proves to be more accurate I might start using it instead of the BBC's. It seems to have ignored the very fine rain I felt just before 9am, but it is certainly much more optimistic. Until I saw the sunny intervals predicted from midday, and possibly full sunshine at 3pm, I was not going to go out, but maybe I may do now.

   The weather did not look favourable for a walk yesterday, and yet I knew I needed to do a walk before I seized up completely. I went out a bit later than usual, and ended up walking just over 4 miles - twice as much as the minimum I set myself, and a mile more than what I hoped I could push myself to walk. Mostly it was easier than I thought it would be, and although I was very keen to get my boots off when I got home, my feet were not complaining that much. There are the usual pictures, and now new normal of a short video of my walk, plus how I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening, and with some thoughts about this morning and today, all in my full archive page for today.

   It was definitely feeling quite cool during the night. The forecast said just 14° C at 7am, and I would not dispute that. It may well have been cooler still earlier than that. The latest revision to the forecast has downgraded the sunshine to just sunny spells from 10am onwards, and indeed what was a nearly clear sky a little while ago is now looking quite cloudy. The latest revision says the afternoon temperature will be no more than 19° C, but during a sunny spell that could feel warmer than yesterday without sunshine. It should stay dry today. Tomorrow may start with some sunny spells, but most of the day is predicted to be overcast, and sometimes heavily overcast. It should stay dry, but it will almost feel chilly with the temperature rising no higher than a puny 18° C.

   The forecast for today has, as usual, been revised several times since I took the screenshot above, but the basic idea has stayed the same - a wet morning. There have been a few dry interludes lasting anything up to 45 minutes, but otherwise it has rained. Sometimes medium heavy, and sometime little more than drizzle. It adds up as quite enough to give the garden a good watering, and it hasn't finished yet ! The latest revision has gone back to saying the rain will dry up around 1pm, but then adds some drizzle for 3pm. By 5pm we may get some sunny intervals for the rest of the day. By mid afternoon the temperature should reach 20° C. Tomorrow should stay dry, and feature even more sunny intervals, but the maximum temperature may only be 19° C.

   Today is still going to be very warm. The afternoon temperature should reach 27° C, but things are changing. The first change was at 5am (and possibly earlier) when there was some rain - probably enough that gardening may not need watering today, but not heavy enough for the potential thunderstorm that had been predicted (although I might have hear a very distant peal of thunder). The latest revision to the forecast says no more rain today, but nothing else has changed. Tomorrow is going to see a more definite change. The current prediction is for rain from morning through to mid afternoon, and with practically no sunshine. The temperature may not rise any higher than 20° C. Sunday may see the return of some sunshine, but it will probably be cooler than tomorrow.

 It was fiercely hot yesterday. Going out into the fierce sunshine, and heat yesterday, may not have been the most sensible thing to do, but I did it anyway. I can't say it was the most enjoyable walk I've had, but it had both pleasant and unpleasant moments. The good was overcoming the challenge, and walking 3.1 miles. The bad was getting dehydrated enough to get a bit of a mild headache in the afternoon (but it did wonders for my weight until I rehydrated myself). I may have also got a bit of sunburn, but I won't know for definite until I take a hot shower soon. As usual I took a few pictures along the way, but only two of them. I present most of the highlights in a video. All this, and all the usual other stuff can be found in my full archive page for today.

   Today has the potential to be even hotter than yesterday. The latest revision of the forecast has changed nothing of significance. It says that there will be a couple of hours this afternoon when the temperature will rise to 31° C - one more degree than was forecast for yesterday. Tomorrow it ends with a bang ! It won't be much cooler, maybe 26° C, but thundery showers are predicted. By Sunday it could feel almost chilly compared to yesterday and today.

  Yesterday did not proceed in the way I had imagined it yesterday morning. After my two shopping trips. Tesco and Poundstretcher, I relaxed for a while, and then I sent a text message to Angela to say I would be going through the park, and it would be nice to meet up again. I was just getting my boots on when she replied to say she would not be there today.  I could have still gone for a walk, but I felt a bit lazy in the heat, and decided not to go for a walk. It must have been a very specialised feeling of being lazy because I ended up doing quite a lot. The hottest, and sweatiest work involved hand washing a heavy duvet cover, and a fair bit of gardening. The entire story of my day, plus what I have already done this morning, and what I will probably do is in my full archive page for today.

   While yesterday didn't quite reach "hot", today should be. The latest revision to the forecasts the temperature has increased the afternoon temperature to 31° C ! Needless to say, it should stay dry unless all that heat manages to brew up a thunderstorm. That may actually happen on Friday, but today, and tomorrow should be dry and sunny, although tomorrow the temperature may stay just under 30° C. 

  I'm not sure when it was, or even why, but in the end I decided not to go out for a walk yesterday. Instead of walking I started doing some fairly productive things at home. I had a fairly busy day doing laundry and gardening, as well as some photography. The photography was taking a few snaps of some of my work through the day, and cleaning up some pictures sent to me, via email, by my younger sister (who I only found had an email address yesterday !). The full description of my day, plus all the photos, and what I have been doing this morning, is all written up in my full archive page for today.

   Today should be the same as yesterday, but even warmer. Perhaps a few light clouds may cause less sunshine towards the end of the day, but otherwise it is mostly just sunshine forecast. The predicted 27° C should feel quite warm ! I note even the nights are now warming up. The early hours of this morning were a bit cool. Tomorrow should see more sunshine, and the temperature hitting 29° C. 

  My walk was deliberately short yesterday (but still 2.6 miles) because I wanted to be in a certain place at a certain time ! I was hoping for a very special birthday event (it was my birthday yesterday), and my dream came true. My plan was to try and meet Angela in the park at lunchtime by pure chance rather than arranging anything in advance. It was wonderful seeing Angela again. After not seeing each other for 90+ days the old warmth had not gone away. It felt so good that I even did something I really hate later in the afternoon - paying bills and other finance stuff. The full details of my day, plus some thoughts of what I will do today, can be read on my full archive page for today.

   Today sees the start of a run of warm sunny days. The forecast starts off wrong ! At the moment, while the forecast, the one above, and the latest revision, shows just sunny spells for 6am, and in the latest revision 7am too, but when I look outside my windows I see nothing but blue sky with just a bit of haziness in one quarter of the sky. My guess is that the day started as it is forecast to continue - solid sunshine until sunset. The afternoon temperature should reach 22° C with maybe a short period of 23° C. Tomorrow shows a very similar pattern, but with two changes that are that the afternoon high could reach 26° C, and the last few hours of daylight may only be sunny spells.
   
I couldn't complete the walk I was intending to do yesterday. I had intended to walk over 4 miles, but I cut my walk short because I was feeling uncomfortable. My feet felt sore - both of them - and my chest felt sore. The chest soreness was, I think, I hope, the return of my "twisted rib". The worst pain was when putting on the t-shirt I wore for the walk. There was nothing special about that t-shirt, but as I poked my left arm through the sleeve I felt something pop approximately behind my left breast. After that it was so easy to provoke my chest into a light, but annoying ache.

  My feet pains were a bit more complicated, and while the cause seemed easy to explain, the underlying reason was a mystery. One specific pain was my part skinned toe. I had put fresh sticking plaster over that toe, and maybe I didn't do such a good job as the previous day, but there was another factor with wider implications. My walk ended up as just under 3 miles - oddly enough almost the same as the walk the day before. The is a fuller description, plus some pictures taken during my walk in my full archive page for today. It also includes more about the rest of my day, and what I have done so far today.

   It seems like today could be similar to yesterday, but with one minor change. This morning is forecast to feature light rain. There has indeed been some rain, and maybe there will be more. Maybe it is actually raining at the moment, but the rain is so sparse that it is barely wetting the ground. The latest revision of the forecast shows the chance of rain to drop from 86% at 9am to 26% at 10am. From 10am the cloud should start to thin a bit, and by 2pm we could get sunny spells for the rest of the daylight hours. With luck the sunny spells may start a bit earlier like they did yesterday. The afternoon temperature might be a degree higher, 21° C, than yesterday. Tomorrow is currently predicted to feature almost solid sunshine, but surprisingly the afternoon temperature may be no higher than today.
   
   I don't think I mentioned it yesterday to avoid making promises I might break, but I was quite keen to get out for a walk to get my joints working again, and to see how my sore toe was doing. I'm not sure why I decided that I wanted to do a bit of hill climbing, but it was probably some desire to burn a few extra calories. (I don't think the walking app I use on my phone to plot my route, takes into account the extra effort involved in walking up hills).  I wanted to get out a bit earlier than I did (midday) but was slowed by waiting for my freshly washed hair to dry. I am not sure why I bothered to wash my hair - it would soon get damp with sweat again. I am not even sure why I had a good scrub in the shower either. I was not planning to meet anyone, and I was actively avoiding coming to close to anyone. I ended up walking just 2.8 miles, and it was enjoyable meeting the challenge, but over half the walk was done under a gloomy overcast sky. Later on I would eat inappropriate food. All the details of my walk, or at least the least boring bits, plus the usual commentary on my day, and vague plans for today are in my full archive page for today.

   It was quite bright at 6am this morning, and it wasn't until gone 7am when the clouds thickened enough to change the light to grey. Since taking the screenshot above the forecast has been revised, and now it shows sunny spells in the morning, and then in the evening. When I look out the window it feels like the original forecast, as shown in the screenshot above, is more likely. I can't see the clouds thinning enough to bring any sunny spells in the next 8 minutes ! Two common things between revisions are that it should be a dry day, and that the afternoon temperature should be 20° C (the latest revision actually says 21° C for a few hours later in the afternoon). Having said all that, I do note that the light from the east (too far to the east to see it's source from here) is now bright enough to cast a shadow. Maybe there will be sunny spells this morning after all. Tomorrow is shown as being a wet day in the headline, but the details say only the morning may be wet, and the afternoon could feature sunny spells. After tomorrow thing seem to be heading for very hot !
   I have to say that I was never that keen to go for a walk yesterday morning, but I knew I had to do it, or at least try to.  As I started to get ready I received another long rambling call from my friend Lee. I can't even remember what the call was originally supposed to be about because Lee could not concentrate on what he was asking, and kept going off at weird tangents. I think it may have been a computer problem or something.  One of the main things in preparing to go out was to go to the toilet. I couldn't do that while on the phone, and had to hurriedly go just before going out. That left me feeling slightly uncomfortable. It was a feeling that the job was not complete. Later on I would know that the job was complete, but I was less sure as I walked up the road. The half and half feeling continued until I was approaching the Sainsbury's Local shop near Catford station. I ended up getting some shopping, and then going home again. The most significant thing I did in the afternoon was some work in the garden. I doubt I spent more than half an hour out there, but I did accomplish some useful stuff. All the details, plus some pictures of my gardening, and the usual stuff about eating, health, and how may day has started, are in my full archive page of today.

   The curious thing about this morning's forecast today is whether 6 and 7am were supposed to include sunshine or rain. As far as I am aware those hours included neither. Like right now, and possibly for the rest of the day, it is just completely overcast, and very dull. The cloud is not thick enough to make it gloomy, but it feels like it could be heading that way. Maybe from later afternoon it might brighten up. Having just checked the latest revision to the forecast I not that it should now be raining, and the showers should now continue until 11am ! My personal observation is that there is a slight chance of a brief sunny spell coming up, and that the clouds do not feel quite rain for rain at the moment. Today should mark a turning point for the weather. Tomorrow may have many more sunny spells, and be a degree warmer. The day after, Sunday, might start with a brief shower, but could otherwise feature lots of sunny spells. The day after that, Monday, could be the first day of a lot more sunshine, and it getting much hotter.
   If the weather forecast had been accurate, and correctly predicted that yesterday afternoon would be dry, and tending to be bright (even if the first sunshine would not be until the afternoon was ending) I might have prepared myself to go out for a walk. I stupidly believed the forecast....although maybe not stupidly because on average next day is usually the same as the day before, and the day before was very wet. So I went into a mode similar to depression, and resolved to stay in, and not do much at all. My day was generally boring, but did have it's moments. I had another bad sleep last night, but a very surprising phone call this morning. The whole story, or all that can be told, is to be found in my full archive page for today.

   Once again there is a Weather Warning that slightly contradicts the main forecast....Errr, I just realised that the Weather Warning I thought was for yesterday is actually for today, and now the current forecast is almost consistent with it. That being the case, I think it likely that today is going to be very similar to today, and also with a few possible errors. The latest weather warning is in tow parts this morning. The first warns of heavy rain from 3am this morning until midday. The error here is that this is generalised for the whole of the Greater London Area. As far as I am aware, this morning's rain has been fairly light so far. There was even 27 seconds of sunshine ! The second part of the weather warning is for those thunderstorms from midday until about 9pm. We had a full dress rehearsal for that yesterday, and now it looks like it will be a repeat performance. Probably the only sure thing is that the temperature will probably be 20° C this afternoon. Tomorrow will probably return to sunny intervals with just a medium chance of a shower at 1pm...maybe.
  The highlight of my day yesterday was a short walk. It was just under 1.6 miles around Ladywell Fields. It ended when my sore toe seemed to be sore enough to reduce any further pleasure, and when it started to rain. There was also the fact that it felt to be an exceptionally sticky day. The rest of my day was mostly boring, and I ate a bit too liberally.  My sleep last night was really terrible - except for the first 3 or 4 hours. This morning I have already been shopping to Tesco. It was fairly quiet in there and almost, sort of, pleasant. I describe all this, plus some slightly positive news about Angela, together with a few pictures taken during my walk, on my full archive page for today.

   This morning did seem to start off bright, as correctly predicted in the earliest version of the forecast. Since then the only change has been to reduce the hours it will be 21° C this afternoon. Apart from between 4 and 5pm it is best to assume an afternoon temperature of 20° C. Midday should, could, see the start of "light rain showers" that are now thought to continue past midnight. It is the predictions of rain that have made the last 3 or 4 day's forecasts so inaccurate, and so I won't believe this one until it happens. One big change happened to the forecast some time yesterday, and it was the inclusion of weather warning in the big black bar across the screen.
  It would seem that tomorrow could be particularly wet. I note this weather warning has been issued by The Met Office. The rest of the forecast is made my some foreign forecasting company. That could explain why the main forecast just says light showers for most of tomorrow, and the Met Office warn of heavy showers and thunderstorms - a bit of a difference !

   Until this morning all previous forecasts said today would feature a lot of rain. Now it seems that today will probably be almost a close of yesterday - sunny spells, probably of variable length, and the temperature reaching 22° C again. There is a 30% chance of rain at 7pm, but I would not be surprised if that changed a lot as the time approaches. It could be more rain, or no rain. At this time, but maybe very different in the morning, tomorrow is forecast to feature not stop light rain from the start of the afternoon until beyond the end of the day. This is very similar to how today was originally forecast until this morning. I wonder what the reality will be tomorrow, or indeed for the next few days that currently feature rain ?

   This morning may see a little more sunshine, but most of the day will probably be a lot like yesterday - bright, but with the occasional cloud blocking, or sometimes just dimming the sun now and then. The forecast temperature is the same as for yesterday, 22° C. There is a small chance of rain, 14% at worst, in the early evening, but the chances are it will stay dry. Tomorrow may only feature sunny spells, but the temperature will probably be the same as the last few day, but rain is probable from mid afternoon onwards. The three days after tomorrow may also feature some rain.

   It was a relatively mild night, and once again today will be fairly warm, although only 21° C is forecast. There are a lot of individual clouds floating around in the sky, and so we can only expect sunny intervals today. After another mild night it may be a bit warmer tomorrow - possibly 24° C after some non stop sunshine in the morning. The afternoon might be jjust sunny intervals. After tomorrow we might, or might not, have three days featuring rain.

   Today should be warm and sunny, but I am having some slight doubts about it. There is enough light cloud to the east to attenuate the sunshine enough that it can barely cast a shadow. Other parts of the sky do feature big areas of blue. Assuming the sun burns off the cloud, it should be sunny until 2pm, and after that there may just be sunny periods, or even sunny spells. The afternoon temperature should reach 22° C, and that is good enough to get back into shorts. It is possible that tomorrow may turn out like today. Earlier forecasts showed less sunshine, but each revision is showing more and  more sunshine.

   It is currently sunny, albeit a slightly hazy sunshine. The cloud cover, at least out of my south facing windows, is just a very light, milky sort of haze rather than proper cloud. One of my thermometers thinks it is already 19° C, and the latest revision to the forecast says it will be 20° C by 11am. It has the makings of a decent day, but the forecast still insist that from 11am until midnight, or beyond, there will be non stop light rain. The thick cloud should keep the temperature up a bit tonight, and tomorrow is currently predicted to start at 15° C. By late morning there could be non stop sunshine, and the temperature may reach a nice 23° C.

   The amount, and timing of any rain keeps changing with every hourly revision of the forecast. The latest prediction is that it will only rain between 11am and 3pm now - quite different to the early morning forecast...Oh, and it's now gong to be light rain, and no heavy rain. The temperature profile has changed too. Now it is thought the temperature will rise to 18° C, and then stick there for a few hours before falling again. Constantly changing the forecast like this suggests that all the talk of using super computers to predict the weather is just talk while the real forecast is done using a ZX Spectrum with a wobbly ram pack. I wonder how much of the current prediction for tomorrow survives the night. At the moment the current prediction says the temperature will briefly peak at 20° C, but much of the afternoon will be 19° C, and there will be light rain from about 11am to 7pm.

   It was supposed to be raining almost from daybreak this morning, but while the sky is heavily overcast, it remains dry. The latest revision to the forecast says the rain will now start at 11am. In the meantime it feels rather cool even though I think the temperature may already be 15° C - which is the highest temperature forecast for today. Only light rain is forecast for today, and it may just be in discrete showers, but with almost the rest of the day for it to do it, I don't think I'll be needing to water the garden today. The rain is predicted to continue through until tomorrow, and only finish late in the afternoon. Tomorrow should be a warmer day with the temperature peaking as high as 19° C as the afternoon ends.

   The forecast does not acknowledge it, but the sun is shining as I write this, and I think it was shining even before I opened the curtains half an hour ago. The latest revision to the forecast still says it will now stay overcast until there is a chance of some sunny spells from 4pm.  At the moment, over half the sky looks hazy and milky, but there are some big blue areas to be seen. Maybe they will disappear soon, or maybe the forecast is very wrong ! The last revision to the forecast has reduced the afternoon temperature to just 17° C, but that is a degree warmer than yesterday. Tomorrow is currently predicted to reach a high of just 15° C, and it seems likely it will rain for most of the day. In fact the next three days may feature a lot of light rain.

   The latest revision to the forecast just shows a uniformly grey day (except for a possible brief ray of sunshine at 8pm tonight. The original forecast shows sunny intervals at 9am, and indeed there was one. It lasted about 5 seconds as a small patch of blue sky blew past the sun. Maybe we will get another few seconds before the day is out. Like yesterday, no rain is forecast for today, but I am sure I could feel a few tiny drops swirling in the breeze recently, but most probably evaporated before even hitting the ground. The latest revision to the forecast still predicts the temperature will hit 16° C, but rather than most of the afternoon, the new prediction says it will only reach that for a few minutes at 2pm. 15° C would seem to be the best we can expect in reality. Tomorrow might see the temperature rise to 18° C by late afternoon, and it is possible there could be a few sunny spells scattered mostly through the afternoon. It could be a weeks time until the weather works to the June plan instead of like late November !

   So far this morning the forecast sunny intervals don't seem to have happened. It is bright, and a short while ago we nearly had a sunny interval. The light and hazy looking cloud does look like it might break up, and could let through an occasional sunbeam later. Today should be a dry day, and by early afternoon it could be feeling almost warm, 18° C. Tomorrow may see some sunny intervals, and once again it is forecast to be dry, but the maximum temperature is currently forecast to be just 16° C.

   This morning has started cold and very sunny. Before mid morning the sunshine is supposed to give way to just sunny intervals. In fact the latest revision to the forecast says the sunny intervals should start very soon, but the sky still looks very blue for now. Bearing in that that for the previous couple of days the rain has fallen several hours after it was forecast to start, and now we are being told that the rain will now start at 1pm. It will be interesting if it does start that early. It seems it will be preceded by an hour or two of it being heavily forecast - which seems sort of obvious. The afternoon temperature will probably only be 14° C, which is a bit cooler than yesterday, but if the rain is late, and the sun keeps shining for longer than forecast, the temperature may rise higher. Tomorrow may be warmer with 18° C predicted. Like today, and the last few days, rain is forecast for the afternoon, but if the forecast has any credibility it may not start until 3pm, and finish at 7pm. The day after, next Monday, may be dry, but it is going to be cold and gloomy.

   It seems there is a fair chance that the forecast for today may turn out right. When I look out my window (to the south) I see some big black clouds, but also some blue areas of sky, and the sun is currently shining through one of those blue areas. If only the temperature could do better than the mere 15° C forecast, it could be an almost, but not quite, nice day. There is only a 13 to 16% chance of rain at midday and 1pm, and maybe it might stay dry. The taste of autumn continues tomorrow, and for a few days after. The current forecast for tomorrow gives a much higher chance of rain, and it could last all afternoon. There could be sunny spells before and after the rain. The day is predicted to start at a very chilly 9° C, and the afternoon temperature may only reach 13° C. It may feel like mid December. Whatever happened to global warming ?

   It seems today will be medium overcast all day, but apparently it should stay dry. It is going to be cooler than yesterday, and while an afternoon temperature of 17° C (according to the latest revision) is still "tepid", the wind blowing through the open window of my bathroom was damn chilly at 7am ! There is a very small chance of rain today, but it is expected to stay dry. Tomorrow will probably be a brighter day, but no warmer, and although the percentage chance of rain is no higher than today (when it won't rain) there will probably be a light shower or two tomorrow. Looking forward as far as Wednesday 17th, which is as far as the complete fiction of the long range forecast goes, it seems summer is just about over. Many wet days are forecast, and when it is not raining, sunny spells are the best we can hope for. At least on some days the temperature may slightly exceed 20° C.

   The weather is still being forecast even though it is actually happening ! It seems certain that it will rain sometime today. At first it was going to start at 10am, but the latest revision now says midday. Whenever, and maybe if ever it falls, it will probably be no more than light rain. At the moment it still seems to be cooling down after yesterday, but it is predicted the temperature will settle down to just 17° C this afternoon. That is not actually cold, but it may feel it by comparison with yesterday. Tomorrow was originally forecast to be another rainy day, but now it looks like it may stay dry despite it being quite overcast. It is probably going to be an even cooler day with the afternoon temperature only reaching 14° C. Whatever happened to "flaming June".

  I had a nice walk yesterday. It was a fairly pleasant, even if not straightforward, to get to my starting point. The walk itself was very pleasant, but the journey home again was really irritating ! I ended up feeling so tired that I gave in and ordered a takeaway instead of cooking/making up my own dinner. At least it was a healthy dinner according to my low weight and blood glucose this morning. The great thing this morning was shopping in Aldi for the first time in a couple of months. It is a shame I ended buy something very naughty ! Read about my walk, illustrated with a few pictures, what I wanted to buy on my way home, and ended up buying something not quite the same this morning, in my full archive page for today.

   The weather has one final fling today before the weather deteriorates tomorrow. Today seemed to start bright, but there is some high cloud at the moment that could have at least dimmed the sun earlier. Today should be a none degree warmer version of yesterday - and yesterday was pretty good as it was ! The predicted afternoon temperature should be 25° C. Things change a lot tonight. Tomorrow will be generally dull, and at just 18° C, considerably cooler (although still warm), but the big difference could be that light rain is forecast for most of the afternoon. The day after tomorrow is currently predicted to be even worse - just 13° C, which will feel almost cold after the temperature has been in the twenties, and much more rain - probably still light rain, but still rain. Oh well, that's two days when I probably won't have to water the garden !

   The sun is casting very strong and sharp shadows, but the sky looks a bit milky still - a pale blue milkiness. That should clear soon to give brilliant sunshine, and a lovely blue sky that is forecast to last until almost sunset. The afternoon will probably be a degree warmer than yesterday, 24° C. Tomorrow is currently forecast to be one degree warmer, but otherwise the same. There is currently doubt about the day after tomorrow. It could be the start of a couple of days featuring some rain.

  I thought I needed to get out early yesterday (I didn't !) because I was expecting a parcel delivery some time in the afternoon (it actually arrived at 5.30pm).  To simplify matters I just walked around the local park with an extension that took me past a beer shop. I walked over 2 miles, but probably less than 2.5 miles. You can read about that vagueness, and how I ended up having a few beers with Jodie at home, plus other stuff in my full archive page for today.
