Three hours, and three revisions to the forecast above has changed things only slightly. One change is the acknowledgement that they clouds this morning haven't been dark grey, but the latest revision say they will turn into dark clouds from midday. It is a sort of feel good thing, but ultimately pointless that 5pm may see some sunny spells. Once again it is going to be a cold day with a maximum of 8° C. Today's wind is probably lighter than yesterday, and so it might not feel that frigid outside today. Like today, tomorrow could start close to a frost with a temperature of just 2° C. It will then warm up, but to less than today. Just 7° C is predicted. Tomorrow morning might see a few hours of sunny spells, but the morning may end with light rain.
 
   Yesterday was a mostly OK day. To keep things very brief, because I have started writing so late, I had a pleasant shopping trip to Tesco in the morning, and a pleasant beer tasting session with Jodie in the afternoon. There is not a lot more to add to that.

  One thing I will add was that when I got on the scales yesterday morning I had a shock. It seemed I had put on about 2kg. That was more a surprise because it seemed to contradict my carefull eating that had kept my blood glucose level below my typical average for over a week. Of course a shopping trip to Tesco proved too much of a temptation, and who knows what damage scoffing an entire cheese and bacon might have done.

  Another terrible mistake was to have a "dessert" after my very safe dinner of beef and red cabbage. That dessert was a tub of humus eaten by scooping it out with rice cakes. I didn't dare check the nutritional information on the tub, but it was very rich and creamy, plus it was topped with crushed nuts and garlic. It was very nice, but eating it late at night was not a great idea.

  After quite a good night's sleep, which was only spoiled by getting cramp in my lower right leg twice, I checked my blood glucose, and possibly that late night humus was to blame for it soaring to 9.0mmol/l after a nice run of lower readings. It looks like my task now is to add watching calories to watching sugar content when I eat. This could make eating far less enjoyable - not a clever idea during miserable weather, plus the misery of being ignored by Angela.

  Today I was going to go for a lunchtime, or afternoon drink, possibly with Michael. It is so late now, and I still need to have a shower and stuff, that I am not sure if I can raise the enthusiasm to go out to a pub.  I'll just have to make things up as I go along.
