Several hours have passed since taking the screenshot of the weather forecast above. In those hours the forecast has been revised at least twice, and now it says the first sunny spells my not start until 2pm, and full sunshine from 3pm. The temperature should still peak at 24° C for a couple of hours. Tomorrow should included many random hours of either sunny spells or sunshine, and a few hours of just white cloud. The temperature should be similar to today with 24° C predicted.
 
  My intention was to raise my levels of idleness, and general laziness, to new heights yesterday, but I have to confess I failed - at least in the morning. I think I probably said that there was one thing I had to do, and that was to finish some laundry I had started almost two days earlier (actually more like 30 hours earlier).

  It wasn't a huge load of stuff to wash, and the biggest was a hand towel. The rest was underwear. Once I had finished it, and had it hanging up to dry I could relax. I did two more things. One was to do a small backlog of washing up. There was just one major item to wash, and it was the heavy ceramic pot from my slow cooker. Not only is it heavy, but my sink is less than double the size of it, and washing it is a bit tricky.

  Once that ceramic pot, plus some cutlery and a couple of small bowls were washed, I used the ceramic pot to start cooking my dinner in - slowly ! It was diced chicken breast with a whole (small) head of cauliflower plus some spices and stuff. I was going to say that once all the ingredients were in the pot I could leave it to itself until dinner time, but I didn't want to liquefy the cauliflower so that went in about an hour before dinner time, and over half an hour before dinner time I turned the heat completely off so I didn't have to try and eat boiling hot dinner.

  The final thing I did before I lapsed into complete laziness, was to change the sheet on my bed, plus the hand towel I put on the pillows to help mop up night time sweat, but far more often because I somehow like the feel of rest my head on a towel. After that I could relax, but I didn't manage to be completely idle, and i didn't manage more than one medium length snooze. I spent quite a lot of time on my PC catching up with technology news from https://www.theregister.com/, and other places.

  At 5pm the first of the three Star Treks started. I seemed to watch the first one, an episode from "the original series" without paying it much attention. The middle episode, an episode from Deep Space Nine, I paid some attention to because i could not remember the story, but it did seem very familiar as the story unfolded. The third Star Trek, Voyager, has always not generated much interest, although contrariwise, last nights was moderately interesting.

  During Deep Space Nine (6 to 7pm) I ate my chicken casserole, and it was nice, but not wonderful. I was tempted to have a low sugar/calorie ice cream dessert after it, but I decided not to. After Star Trek: Voyager I turned to the "Horror Extra" channel to watch an episode of UFO. It was a TV series that I liked a lot on it's first showing, but maybe it hasn't aged well, or it is just too familiar. I generally enjoyed it, but I think it would take second place to something more interesting.

  I could have gone straight to bed after UFO, but I felt the need to take a couple of Paracetamol tablets, and give them an hour to work before I tried for sleep. I was not really in pain, but I could feel some dull aches from a few typical places, and I knew they would annoy me once I turned the light out and tried to relax. There was also the problem of another sticky night.The temperature in my bedroom was fairly high, but it was a lot cooler outside (and it was raining quite heavily). I decided to keep the window closed, and suffer the consequences. Fortunately it was not nearly as hot and sticky as the night before.

  I think it was not too long after 10pm that I turned out the light, but it might have been another half hour before I got to sleep. Once asleep I seemed to sleep OK until about 1.30am. I got up for a pee, and noticed the first signs of what is probably an inner ear problem. I can't describe it as giddiness, but at that point it was a very mild loss of balance. Two hours later I woke for another pee, and this time my loss of balance was more severe, and walking to the toilet and back was (interesting).

  That loss of balance was worrying because it would seem to put my intentions for today, going to Chislehurst Rocks, in jeopardy. it was some relief to find it had all but gone away when I woke up at 5am, and gone completely when I got up at 6.30am. I did have some dreams through the night, or maybe it was just one dream repeated, or even just a very short dream. I know the dream was about taking pictures, but all I can remember is just one single still image for a foot resting on a motorbike foot rest. I have a funny feeling I had taken the picture of a picture in a book, but with just that one single image remembered from whatever I dreamed, I can't say any more about it.

  My blood glucose readings were slightly up this morning, and I think the only "naughty" thing I did was to eat half a packet of micro sized chipsticks. The new meter read 8.4mmol/l. and the old meter read 8.8mmol/l. Both readings were unremarkable, and as I now realise, after checking them again, are actually a little bit lower than yesterday morning. So that's good.

 As I mentioned a bit further up the page, my target for today is to go to Chislehurst Rocks. I don't fancy spending a long time there, and while the earlier bands on might have some merit, my aim is to get to the stage in time for Hell On Tap's set at 4pm.The next band on at 5pm, The Heat, are said to be good. Unfortunately the next band on at 6pm are called Studio 33, and are reported to be a disco band. That would be my home time, and it still might be, but I really want to hang on until 7pm when MT Pockets take to the. They are usually great crowd pleasers. If I see some or all of their set, I will definitely aim to be out of aural contact with the event when the headline band comes on - Dread Centre. I know many of the band members, and they are all good guys, but I really hate that bass heavy reggae music they play.
