It is certainly bright and sunny as I write this, and it should continue for several hours before it gives way to sunny spells. The last hour featuring sunny spells is now shown to be 4pm in the latest revision. That revision also reduced the peak of 18° C to just 2 hours instead of the three hours predicted in the early forecast. No rain is expected today, and even the BBC have decided not to throw in a random thunderstorm, but they do say the sunny spells could last until 6pm. Tomorrow could be like today, but backwards - the full sunshine in the late afternoon, and sunny spells in the morning. It is possible the temperature could reach 20° C tomorrow.

   I had some delusions that I might go out for a walk in the sunny spells yesterday, but then reality caught up with me. I needed no excuse not to go out because I found I was expecting the delivery of part of an Amazon order yesterday. It was being delivered by Evri (Hermes), and as far as I can remember, they usually deliver in the morning, or early afternoon.

  It was the perfect excuse to stay in and do nothing, or at least very little. I did get in a nice shower before I realised I would be going nowhere, and very unlikely to get any visitors. I did have one major task yesterday, and it was to try not to think about what I have to do today. Maybe I did that a little too well because I can't seem to recall much about yesterday. It is unusual that I can't even remember what I had for lunch, but it seems that I can't......err, yes I can.

  The memory of yesterday's lunch surfaced just as I was finishing the last paragraph. It was a couple of sandwiches made using Polish sourdough bread. Two significant things about that bread is that it is said to have no sugar in it, and the slices are at least 2/3rd the size of common sliced bread, and often nearer than half size. I ate foure slices with some sliced big, and non sweet tomato, pre-sliced chicken and beef sausage, plus a squirt of mayonnaise.

  I guess I spent a lot of the afternoon on the internet doing the occasional download of assorted stuff. I think I had a couple of attempts at a snooze yesterday. I thought that my long period of insomnia the night before would make snoozing easy, but I don't think I managed to snooze at all. Another thing I didn't do, beyond snacking on a handful of peanuts sometime in the afternoon, was any other snacking.

  I held out to dinner time before I ate any more. As usual I had dinner while watching Star Trek. This time it was Star Trek: Deep Space Nine because my dinner took a bit longer to cook than I had anticipated. It was an unusual dinner for me, but one I had some hopes for it being kind to my blood glucose level. It was basically sausage and chips, but I ate the sausages first because they were getting cold, and I couldn't cook them alongside the chips in my mini oven/grill. I was unusually restrained about the amount of chips I cooked. It would probably be called a child's portion in a chip shop.

  I was in bed by 9pm, and I think I was asleep by 9.30pm. Even if I couldn't snooze during the day, I seemed to have no problem getting to sleep last night. I only had maybe two very short periods of insomnia last night, and one was because I spent some time thinking about a dream I had. I can't think of any trigger in real life, or even in memories for the subject of my dream.

  What I remember of the dream doesn't explain why what was going on was happening. I only remember what I saw, and it was like watching something, and not participating in it. It was about a filming technique that was part comedy, and part something else. It was to make a simple shot look very busy. The film camera was on a dolly (I think that is what they call it) running on tracks to keep the motion smooth. It would pass one or two actors, and once they were out of view they would run behind the camera to get back into view as the camera continued to slowly move along (think of it going down a road with the actors on the pavement).

  In the few seconds the actors were behind the camera they might grab a different coat, or put on a hat, or some other very quick disguise. In one case one of the actors quickly put on a smock, and a bonnet to give the impression he was a woman., but in this one instance there was a close up on his face, and it turned out to be a leering Sid James (of Carry On Films fame). I woke up during this dream for no apparent reason, and then spent a while thinking about it, and in particular how it could be done using digital video and editing. My final conclusion is that with modern multi layer video editing all the different appearances of the actors could be shown all at once giving a sort of crowd scene with just a few actors appearing multiple times in the same scene.

  After getting up, a bit later than usual, I would soon find the truth about my eating choices yesterday. It seems I managed to eat quite sensibly if my blood glucose readings are anything to go by. I used my new improved method of fresh blood squeezed out the same finger prick for each test strip. The new meter read a very good 7.5mmol/l. The old meter read an even better 7.3mmol/l, but sadly the oldest meter, which got the last blood to check, read 8.0mmol/l. That too is a very good reading, but not as good as a reading in the sevens.

  There is just one major thing on my agenda for today, and it is to attend Angela's blood wedding. I can't say I am looking forward to it one little bit, but I will do my duty and try and get some good photos of it. I have never been to a Registry Office wedding before, and I have no idea how it all proceeds (I can barely remember the one church wedding I went to in the 1980s). I guess I'll just blunder along, and hope for the best.

  In a way, I hope no one tries to talk to me (beyond a brief hello) because I don't want to be pushed into going to the reception even if it is going to be as much gig as it is party. My own plan is that I come back from the Registry Office, have a light lunch, and then spend the afternoon "processing" the pictures I have taken - mostly selecting the best, and then possibly cropping and resizing them. I may also correct the exposure, and possibly correct the colour temperature (I have no idea what sort of lighting there will be when inside the Registry Office). Than I might have an early night, and try and forget the whole day.
