The early forecast for today (as above) showed that the afternoon would feature lots of sunny spells. Rather sadly the latest revision only shows sunny spells for midday, 3pm and 4pm. The only recompense is that we now might have three hours at 11° C. Today should be dry, or mostly dry, but 11am is now shown as having dark cloud with a 10% chance of rain. It is possible that tomorrow may feature a lot of sunny spells, and an afternoon temperature of 10° C.
 
   There were a lot of positives yesterday, but almost inevitably there were some negatives. Some were as simple as nice sunny weather spoiled by a chilly breeze. The undeniably good were some important achievements. Those achievements, along with a lot of pictures, are all described, alongside some of the negatives, in my complete archive page covering yesterday, last night, and this morning.

  There is a big grey cloud where the sun could be shining as I write this, but a lot of the sky is fairly clear, and so I can believe we will get some sunny spells sooner or later. The latest revision to the forecast has extended the full sunshine shown in the screenshot above to last from midday to 3pm. This morning has started mild by comparison to recent mornings, 7° C, but all that sun will only raise the afternoon temperature to 9° C. That is one degree under what I would say is the first hint of warmth, although if the wind is light enough it could feel still feel nice when in direct sunshine while wearing a dark coat. At the moment only one hour featuring just sunny spells is shown for tomorrow, but the temperature could hit 10° C, but with no sunshine that will still feel chilly.
 
   There was quite a lot of good stuff yesterday, but also some quite bad ! My whole morning, and some of the afternoon was geared up to go out, but as the time to go out approached I began to lose enthusiasm, and I really had to push myself to finally grab my Nikon D300s camera, put on a coat, and actually head out into unexpected light rain. My full archived page for today includes about 7 photos, a description of my quick visit to a gig, some thoughts about medical stuff, plus the usual stuff about sleep, and the start of this morning.

  Today's weather forecast looks a lot like yesterday's with a small change - today could see 8° C from mid afternoon. Today also started a degree or so less cold than yesterday, but the dark clouds from about 11am to 3pm are going to make it feel chilly. Those dark clouds bring a 10% chance of rain, but no rain is expected to fall. Tomorrow should see lighter clouds, and a lot of sunny spells at first, and then sunshine later - maybe. It could see the temperature peak at 9° C. It will be start of trend towards slightly better, or just warmer weather for much of the week ahead.
 
   Yesterday was almost another day of rest, but I did do two things that needed a modicum of physical effort. The first was a shopping trip to Tesco where I was very selective in what I bought. I didn't buy anything that was instant temptation. The second thing I did was to hand wash a pair of lounge pants, a t-shirt, and some underwear. Apart from leaving it soaking while I went out shopping, I did the rest of the process in one go. That sounds like all of yesterday described, but there is more, and also stuff about sleeping and this morning in my complete archived page for today.

  Today's weather forecast, even the latest revision, seems to be describing yesterday's weather quite well. Today is going to be very gloomy with occasional spells of just gloomy. There is a 10% chance of rain at any time, but it will probably be dry. By the afternoon, this morning's 4° C will have only risen to 6° C. All in all, a rather unpleasant day. Tomorrow may reach 8° C, but otherwise will probably be very similar to today. The day after tomorrow could be equally bad.
 
   The whole of yesterday was about staying warm and resting in case I was suffering from some sort of unknown illness that was causing me a lot of discomfort - mainly when in the cold. Even today I have no idea if I am suffering from any more than old age, cold weather, and low, or high, barometric pressure. I do know that keeping warm yesterday meant that I only had a few brief twinges of discomfort. I did a few small things yesterday, and you can read about those, plus my night, and the start of this morning in my complete archived page for today.

  There should be sunny spells later today, but the latest revision to the forecast now says the first will be at 11am. At the moment it looks rather dull. It should stay dry today, and the temperature should rise to 7° C. That may not feel too bad in sunshine - provided the wind is no more than the very lightest breeze. Tomorrow could be a watered down version of today - the temperature a degree less, and only a handful of sunny spells.
 
   This morning I feel I can only judge yesterday as good and bad, but I suppose that doesn't make it all that different to most days. One good thing about yesterday is that I made sure I kept warm, and I suffered from hardly any aches and pains for most of the day. The whole of yesterday, last night, and the start of this morning, both good news and bad news, is described in my complete archived page for today.

  By my reckoning, based on the results of several thermometers, this morning was closer to 5° C than the forecast 4° C. It is certainly very dull at the moment, and at either 10 or 11am it is going to get even gloomier, but apparently there is only a 10% chance of rain at any time today. The sunny spells shown for 1pm in the screenshot above has now been moved to 3pm in the latest revision to the forecast. This could mean no sunny spells at all, or maybe sunny spells for more than one hour. The best change to the forecast, in the latest revision, is that 3 and 4pm are shown as being 8° C. That is not exactly warm, but less cold than recent days. Apart from the temperature being lower by a single degree, tomorrow looks like it might be the same as today.
 
   There were probably more good bits than bad bits of yesterday, but the bad still almost outweighed the good. The bad was all to do with my bodies reaction to the cold, damp, and probably atmospheric pressure. I endured a fair bit of pain at times yesterday. All this is explained in greater detail, along with other stuff from yesterday, last night, and the start of this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

  The latest revision to the weather forecast has cut the mist down to just 10am, although there is a slight haze even as I write this. It seems that most of today will feature dark clouds, and they might rain at 4pm, 7 and 8pm. 8pm may see heavy rain. Once again the afternoon is forecast to reach just 5° C. Tomorrow may see lighter cloud for much of the day, but still no sign of the sun. The temperature tomorrow might see 8° C in the afternoon.
 
   It is hard to decide if yesterday was a good or bad day. It was neither if the definitions are taken to extremes, but at mild definitions it could still have been either. Maybe it was biassed towards the bad, but the day still had a few good points. One good thing was a short walk to the shops, and the other was finding some vague information about a medical condition that is causing me some discomfort recently. All this is explained in my complete archived page for today that also includes descriptions of my night, and the start of this morning.

  The first version of the weather forecast I saw for today shows the day as being very dull, but the latest revision now shows almost half the hours of the day to feature only white cloud. Sadly no sunshine at all is expected.  This morning started at +4° C, but it will only rise by one single degree, to 5° C by midday. While it could be worse, for instance if it were to rain, it is still a recipe for an unpleasant day. Tomorrow could start at just 1° C, and slowly rise to 6° C, but maybe only by 5pm. By 7pm it could be raining. The whole day will only see a mix of white and dark clouds, and not a single ray of sunshine will be seen - unless the forecast for tomorrow changes a lot tomorrow - which is quite likely.
 
   Yesterday turned out to be a day that I could not have predicted. It was not exactly a productive day, although there was some productivity, and maybe it could be said that the afternoon, and quite a lot of the evening was a different sort of being productive - one with no actual end result except a few memories, but more about that later. My day, night, and the start of this morning is all fully described in my complete archived page for today.

  The latest revision to the weather forecast shows fog for 9am. That is just one minute away as I type this with sunshine pouring through the window, and the air looking crystal clear. It also shows 10am as the last hour featuring some sunny spells. After that it is all doom and gloom....well, mainly just gloom, although there is a 10% chance of rain at almost any time. The chances are that it will stay dry, and snow free. It is certainly not frost free at the moment. My most pessimistic, but also more isolated outside temperature sensors was showing -4.6° C - just very slightly more negative than the forecast -4° C shown in the forecast for 8am. By 3pm today's temperature should rise to a bloody chilly 4° C. Thick cloud should keep tomorrow above zero at the ends of the day, but it could rise to 5° C in the afternoon. No rain/snow/sleet is expected, but the thick dark clouds shown make it seem that it will be gloomy in the extreme.
 
   Yesterday's attempt to keep this daily diary a bit shorter seemed to almost work. I couldn't get it down to the, sometimes, just a few lines I used to write her almost 20 years ago, but it was less bloated than more recent stuff. I am going to attempt to keep today's writing fairly short, but it will be tricky because a few things did happen yesterday. What did happen is all revealed in my complete archived page for today, which also includes last night and the start of this morning.

  Today has started very cold. As forecast, it was indeed -3° C at 8am, and it may well take until 11am until zero is reached, and 3pm before the temperature reaches it's peak of just 4° C today. The latest revision has only changed 1pm from sunshine to sunny spells. Other than that it should be bright and sunny all day. It is just a shame all that sunshine it too weak to warm things up outside. Oh well, at least the warning for fog came to nothing.  Tomorrow should see a similar range of temperature, but there may be almost no sunshine at all. Next Wednesday may feature mist and fog, but that could change to anything over the next few days.
 
   It was interesting looking back at my first ever post on this website, and other early entries. Twenty years ago I wrote very brief entries, and it made me think that these days my entries are very bloated. The main problem is that it takes up too much of the morning to write them. On the other hand I do write stuff that could be useful/interesting just to me in the future. It seems I still had a fair amount to say, but I have managed to keep today shorter than most recent days. The entire page, which includes last night and this morning is here.

  It is bright and sunny now, and has been for an hour or two. The latest revision to the forecast shows full sunshine until 4pm when there will just be sunny spells until the sun sets. That could make for a colourful sunset. The maximum temperature today is still forecast to be just 6° C, and that only for a single hour at 3pm. By 11pm it will have fallen to just 2° C. By 6am tomorrow morning the temperature may have fallen to -1° C. Once again there should be plenty of sunshine or sunny spells, but the maximum temperature could be just 4° C.
 
   There doesn't seem to be any particular good reason for it, but yesterday was another good, or maybe medium good, day. Of course lots of sunshine, like yesterday had, always raised the spirit, and can turn a bad day good. There were still enough non weather related reasons to make yesterday good enough. I've probably written over a thousand words more about yesterday, last night, and this morning, and you can read them here, and see a couple of pictures, in my complete archived page for today.

  It is bright and sunny now, and the latest revision to the forecast has extended the sunny spells beyond 2pm (as shown in the earlier version above) all the way until sunset. The afternoon temperature is still shown as 6° C, and that is an improvement over yesterday, but only a couple of degrees extra. I was surprised to see a frost this morning. I noted that at midnight, last night, the temperature was still a few tenths of a degree above zero, and at 8am this morning is seemed to be plus 1° C. I assume it dipped below zero in the earlier hours of this morning. It seems it will still be 3° C at 11pm tonight. In terms of sunshine, tomorrow may be very similar to today. The lowest temperature tomorrow may be 0° C at 8am, and the highest will be 6° C at 2pm. Like today, tomorrow should be dry.
 
   Yesterday was a generally good day, although it did involve some excess, and unneeded eating. Another negative was that I found that the last book that was delivered the day before yesterday was one I already had, but published under a different title. That was a bit annoying because it was the most expensive of the books I had ordered recently. As usual, the rest of my day, night, and this morning, is described in my complete archived page for today.

  Last night was not as cold as the previous night. I noticed that the temperature was only turning negative at midnight last night. This morning it was about -1° C, but it looks very frosty outside. Like yesterday, the temperature should rise to about 4° C by mid afternoon. The latest revision to the forecast acknowledges that it is already sunny, and the period of dark cloud, shown above for 11am, has been changed to white cloud. Maybe apart from 11am, the day should be bright and sunny like yesterday. Tomorrow will be like today except the sunny spells may be replaced with full sunshine, and that should raise the afternoon temperature to 6° C.
 
   Much of yesterday was rather good, although the evening was not so good. Having said that, there was one short lived fly in the ointment towards the end of the morning. I had a very nice shower, and washed my hair, but as I predicted, the drain pipe from the bath had frozen up, and at the end of my wash there was 3 or 4 inches of soapy water that could not drain away from the bath. Fortunately the day warmed up enough to unfreeze the pipe. That and other good news, plus the rest of my day, night and this morning, is all described in my complete archived page for today.

  Today is seeming to be a lot like yesterday. There should be plenty of thin winter sunshine, often shining through thin misty clouds, but today could be a whole degree warmer ! From mid afternoon to 6pm it should be 4° C. In broad terms, it seems the description for today also fits tomorrow, and maybe even several days after, but it should slowly warm up a few degrees during those days.
 
   Most of yesterday was like the day before - not a lot happened ! However, once again, not a lot means that there were a few things that happened. One positive thing was that the postman delivered three of the Edmund Cooper books I had recently ordered via Amazon. All the rest of my day, night, and this morning, are described in my complete archived page for today.

 The forecast for today shows lots of sunny spells, but they are (obviously) caused by clear skies, and those clear skies allowed the temperature to plummet last night. One of my outside thermometers was saying -3.6° C a little earlier, and another almost confirmed it (it disagreed by a couple of tenths of a degree). Today's "high" is predicted to be no more than 3° C ! Another clear night means the temperature will plummet again, although the current forecast for tomorrow shows it starting at 0° C, and then more sunny spells may raise it to 5° C.

  Yesterday was an odd day. I did very little, and really only achieved one thing, but it seems I was still too busy to do one thing I was going to do. I have no idea how I achieved that. I don't think I even had time for a snooze.  It seems that somehow I was also busy doing nothing to avoid eating temptations ! I have tried to describe everything I can remember about yesterday, last night and this morning in my complete archived page for today.

 Today is going to be a very cold day. The maximum temperature may only be 5° C, and it will soon drop again to end up at 0° C at 10pm. The latest revision has got rid of the rain shown above for 3 and 4pm. That is just as well because it would have been so close to falling as sleet, or even snow. At the moment it looks very dull outside, and most of the day could be like this - very cold, and very dull ! Semi clear skies overnight will all ow the temperature to drop to -2° C by 6am tomorrow, and while it should be a sunny day, the highest temperature could be an agonisingly cold 3° C - and that may only last for a single hour.

  I must have slept even better than I described yesterday morning because I seemed to be very alert yesterday morning. After I had finished writing this diary I washed, and then went out to shop in Tesco not much later than half an hour after they opened. It was nicer shopping in a less crowded store. The only bad thing, or maybe it was a good thing, was that the reduced price shelf was almost empty, and had nothing of interest. This dialogue continues in my complete archived page for today. It includes last night and the start of this morning.

 Just before sunrise, when the eastern sky was getting light, the sky seemed really clear, and the moon was bright and sharp. Now the sky has completely clouded over with grey looking clouds. The chances of the forecast sunny spells, and even sunshine, looks rather slim at the moment, but the latest revision to the forecast now says full sunshine at 9am - just 45 minutes time as I write this. The other contentious issue is that according to my three outdoor temperature sensors the temperature was barely above 4° C at just after 7am. The latest revision to the forecast says sunshine or sunny spells from 9am until 3pm with only midday shown as cloudy. The rain for 5pm has now been replaced by just "cloudy", and the highest temperature shown as 7° C. Tonight will get very cold, and it will stay very cold tomorrow. The highest temperature is shown as 4° C, and that will fall close to zero by midnight.

  I feel I want to use the word "moribund" to describe yesterday, but I have to admit I do not know it's precise meaning. As a general not much happening sounding word it feels like it could be right to describe yesterday. The biggest reason to not describe yesterday like that is that only most of yesterday featured not much happening. I did end up doing a few things, and these are described, along with my night, and this morning in my compete archived page for today.

 There should be heavy rain as I write this, but there is no rain I can see through the window, although that wouldn't rule out fine drizzle. All the puddles point to heavier rain earlier ! Even the latest revision to the forecast says the last of the rain will be at midday, and then the afternoon, and the rest of the day, should stay dry. It seems a little odd that the highest temperature today will actually start at 10am, It will then start to cool from midday. This must be because the rain is being caused by warm and wet air blowing in from warmer places. The temperature may drop to 6° C by midnight, 4° C by 4am tomorrow, and then back up to 7° C at it's peak tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be rather cool, and even cooler days could follow. Oh well, at least tomorrow should be dry, and there may be a solitary sunny spell just as the sun is setting.

  Once again I think I can describe yesterday as a good day. It was really an mostly unexciting day, but it seemed to pass very quickly with no particular boring bit, or anything else negative. Despite saying I might be drawn out by the sunshine, even if it was no more than a quick walk to a local shop, I didn't leave home at any time yesterday. What I did do during the day, last night, and this morning is all described in my complete archived page for today.

 It is sunny now, but revisions to the forecast sometimes add sunny hour, and some take them away again. The latest revision shows sunshine or sunny spells at 10 and 11am. Then there are some dull hours before the sun comes out again at 2pm. From then on it there should be some sunshine until sunset at 4pm. The highest temperature today is forecast to be just 10° C, but clear skies at the start of the night will allow the temperature to drop to 7 or 8° C. Tomorrow should see the temperature rise to 12° C, but at the cost of heavy rain between 1am and 2pm ! Once the rain has stopped the temperature will start to drop, and it seems it will keep dropping. The forecast could, and probably will change a lot before next Tuesday arrives, but if it doesn't change it would seem that next Tuesday could be perishing cold !

  I think I have to declare that yesterday as a good day. It probably helped that during the first half of the morning, I made several visits to the toilet that saw off the last of the previous day or two of semi-constipation. I am sure there must be a word that describes a sort of halfway house to constipation, where you go, but it is obvious it is not enough. Anyway, that is the unpleasant bit over and done with....until next time ! The nicer bits of yesterday, last night, and the start of this morning, are all described in my complete archived page for today.

 It may not be raining now, but it is still very wet outside. The temperature here is 12° C, and it seems it is as high as it is going to get today. The latest revision to the forecast shows mainly white clouds for a lot of today, but that is at complete odds with my view of the sky. I would describe those clouds as a sort of dirty grey. I would not be surprised if there is not several sprinkles of rain today before the next forecast time (according to the latest revision). Rain is supposed to fall between 3 and 5pm with 4pm seeing heavy rain. After 5pm the clouds will thin right out, and maybe even disappear for some hours, and the temperature will start to drop. By tomorrow morning it could be down to 7° C. Tomorrow might be a mostly sunny day, or at least between 11am and sunset, but the temperature may only rise to 10° C. Both today and tomorrow will feature some gusty wind that will make it feel cold outside.

  Yesterday was a day that started off well, peaked, and then went rapidly down hill, although it was not until late evening that I realised it had gone down hill as far as it had, and this morning it was confirmed as a disaster, and probably because I got caught in the rain again. The full story of yesterday, last night, and this morning is unpleasant, but not as unpleasant to read as to experience it. You can read the whole thing at my complete archived page for today.

 Both the BBC and Met Office weather forecasts seem to broadly agree in today's weather forecast, and both may be a little wrong. It is almost 9am, and the sunshine hasn't started yet because of some cloud to the east, but with a lot of blue sky is certainly could happen. The main difficulty at the moment is how long the brightness will last, in the early afternoon, before rain starts to fall. The Met Office suggest 3pm, and the BBC say 2pm, and they also say it will only be light rain, and not he Met Office prediction of heavy rain. With an afternoon temperature of just 10° C it is not going to be a great day, but hopefully this morning will be pleasant.  Tomorrow will probably feature light rain from morning to evening, but in some sort of compensation the afternoon should be 12° C with 13° C being possible.

  While the rain may not have been heavy for all of yesterday morning, it was still wet and gloomy enough to leave the day feeling very depressing. I certainly felt no impetus to go out, and as predicted, I was a bit bored, but only now and then. There were two bits of good news yesterday. One bit was my nice low blood glucose reading, and the other was that the water pressure had risen back to normal again, and I had plenty of hot water. My actual day, night, and the start of this morning is described in full in my complete archived page for today.

 Today both the BBC and Met Office weather forecasts agree that it will be a very wet morning, a dry, but dull afternoon, and then rain again this evening. The BBC throws in some drizzle at 3pm as an added extra ! For all it's worth, at least today will be a little less chilly at 12° C (possibly 13° C by late evening). Tomorrow there could be sunshine or sunny spells from about 9am to 1pm, and then light rain starting at 2 or 3pm. The temperature tomorrow reach just 10° C.

  It was only with the benefit of hindsight that I realised I could have gone out for a bit of a walk yesterday, although while I would have stayed dry, and the sunshine would have been uplifting, it was still rather cool out there in the big wild world. I stayed in all day, but I did manage to do some useful stuff. That, and the rest of my day, night, and even the start of this morning is described in my complete archived page for today.

 There was probably some light rain in the early hours of this morning, but it is not raining now, and there are patches of blue sky among the clouds - some of which do seem to be quite dark looking clouds. It is possible we will get the a sunny spell or two, as forecast for 9am this morning. The 11am rain has disappeared in the latest revision, and so has the sunny spells for 2pm.  It still says dark cloud for 11am, but the chance of rain for that hour is now the same as most of today - just 10%. This morning was just 6° C (possibly as low as 5° C), and the afternoon high may be just 8° C. Tomorrow may feature a day of dark grey clouds, and a lot of rain, but it will be warmer with an afternoon temperature of 12° C. It's worth mentioning that the BBC weather forecast is saying sunny spells all day today.

  It is tempting to describe yesterday as good and bad, but good and stupid gets closer, and good and drunk probably hits the nail on the head. I don't recall having a lot of get-up-and-go yesterday morning, and there was reason to be in a serious mood. I was having trouble with my waterworks yesterday morning, and by that I mean my water heater, and not my bladder and other internal plumbing. This is explained in more detail, along with a description of the reast of my day, my night, and the start of this morning in my complete archived page for today.

 There was most definitely some heavy rain around 3am, but more about that later. The problem with the early version of today's weather forecast, as shown above, is that it is very wrong. Since just before sunrise, and continuing now, the sky has been almost clear, and although there are plenty of puddles on the road, it is definitely not raining now. The latest revision to the forecast now shows no rain until 10am, but after that the rain will continue, at various strengths, until 6pm. I have doubts it will happen, and it may just be a way of the forecasters trying to assert their self belief of being all knowing, but 6pm is currently shown as being not rain, but hail ! The clear sky has meant that the temperature was only just 7° C earlier, but for just one single hour, at 11am, the temperature could rise to 11° C. It is going to be a rather cool day today. Tomorrow may be cooler still, just 8° C, but it may be dry, and there could even be a bit of sunshine in the late afternoon.

  In a curious sort of way, yesterday was rather a good day. I had no idea it would be good in the morning. At that time it seemed like I might be heading for another boring day. For a while I did think that maybe I would go shopping either in Aldi or Tesco. I didn't go out in the end. To read what I did do read my complete archived page for today. It also includes my night, and this morning - including a picture of the sky at sunrise this morning.

 I am unsure, but it may well have been raining at 8am, but it is certainly raining now, and the latest revision to the forecast says light rain will continue throught to 1pm, and then resume again at 5pm for possibly 3 or 4 hours. Between 2pm and 4pm it might stay dry, but 2pm is still shown as a 20% of rain. Those hours will feature just light cloud, and a temperature of 11° C. Tomorrow could be brighter than today, but there will still be rain for possibly most of the day, and the highest temperature could be just 9° C, although 8° C is likely to be more representative of the day.

  Yesterday was a terrible day in all sorts of ways ! The day started off fairly normal, albeit a bit later than I would usually get up, and for a few hours it was like I was constipated. It was probably eating my hot instant noodles for breakfast that got things moving, but my that time I had drunk too much (not booze !), and had eaten, and so I didn't bother to weigh myself. That was just the start of things, and it got far worse later in the day. It is all described in my complete archived page for today. It also includes the bad night's sleep I had, and a some negative stuff this morning.

  The latest revision has throttled back the last sunny spells to 11am, but it still makes for a nice start to the day. The rest of today will be what I call "overcast", but which the forecast calls "cloudy". Apparently the cloud icons have to be grey, instead of white, to be called overcast. It seems the warmest part of the day will be the evening when the temperature should have risen slowly to 12° C. It will probably be dry, but there is a 10% of rain for most of today. Most of tomorrow may be just 10° C, and most of tomorrow looks like it will be wet !

  Things fell apart a bit in the evening, but most of yesterday was quite good. Once I had showered, and dressed, I went on a shopping trip to the little supermarket on Catford Bridge. Top of my shopping list was a loaf of Polish sourdough bread. I originally liked it because of it's very low sugar content, but now I just think of it as really good bread. I also bought some vegetables, and the inevitable packets of instant noodles. The story of yesterday continues in my complete archived page for today. It also includes my night and the start of this morning.

  The latest revision hasn't change the weather forecast. It seems it is going to be a dull, but dry day. The temperature should peak at 13° C, and that is about all there is to say except that there is a 10% chance of rain at almost any time today even if no rain is shown on the chart. The clouds should be a bit lighter tomorrow, and there is a slim chance of some sunny spells in the morning, but tomorrow will probably be a colder day with a top temperature of just 10° C.

  Apart from seeing Angela, which was very good, almost everything else about yesterday was terrible, and all because of the weather, or specifically a weather forecast that was a tissue of lies ! I will admit it did seem to lighten up a bit as I had my shave, shampoo, and shower prior to going out to walk through the park. I also got a shower as I walked home from the pub. All this is described in greater details, with a couple pictures to show the situation better, plus how I had a crap nights sleep, but this morning is quite good, in my complete archived page for today.

  I feared refreshing the weather forecast page because I had a bad feeling it would spoil the optimism of the early forecast (as shown above). Sadly it did. The first sunny spell is now not expected until 11am, and now the fear is that a newer revision will make it even later, or possible change some of the sunny hours to gloomy hours. At the moment it seems we can expect sunny spells from 11am until 3pm. There was one small change for the better, and it is that it is expected to be 14° C by midday, although by 2am it will already have fallen to 13° C. Nevertheless, even 13° C, backed with some sunshine, will feel good. Tomorrow will probably be grey, but dry with an afternoon temperature of 12° C.

  I find it hard to decide if yesterday was a good or bad day. The problem hinges on the idea that although I only had one brief diversion from reality, the day seemed to pass quite quickly - almost as if I had being doing something useful that makes the hours pass much quicker, or seems to. My day is described more fully in my complete archived page for today which also includes my night, and the start of this morning.

  The forecast temperature for early this morning was a bit optimistic. By my reckoning it is just about to hit 6° C as I write this just before 8am. The main change in the latest revision to the forecast is that it shows the rain starting at 10am, and then continuing through the whole day. The temperature should slowly rise through the day, and by 9pm it could reach 12° C. There will be a few dry hours, but it seems the last of the rain will fall at 6am tomorrow ! Most of tomorrow may feature white cloud, but some sunny spells are expected, and the temperature could reach 13° C.

  Maybe I was spoiled by going out for a drink with Michael the day before yesterday, or maybe it was yesterday's weather, but I don't think yesterday was a good day. If there was anything good about it, it was that I finally got to go shopping in Aldi. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was a slightly bland experience. There are a couple of pictures of things I bought, plus a longer description of my shopping trip, and the rest of the afternoon, the night, and my thoughts and stuff this morning in my complete archived page for today.

  It is about 7° C now, according to my outdoor thermometers, and the sun is doing it's best to shine over the top of a bank of cloud to the east. The latest revision to the forecast shows either sunny spells, or full sunshine starting at 9am (or right now) until sunset. The latest revision also agrees with my measurement of 7° C. Sadly, the highest temperature today may only be 8° C, but any sunshine should make that feel slightly mild. Tomorrow may see a return to 12° C, but it will come at a cost of grey skies, and probably lots of light rain.

   I think I can declare yesterday to have been a good day, although it was not without a few slightly bad things. One such bad thing was Aldi's website saying the store would open at 11am when I walk there showed it was definitely closed ! Oh well, it was a bit of very light exercise because I walked the long way home again. I probably walked as much as half a mile ! A few hours later and I would go for only a very slightly shorter walk. To find where, and why, etc, read my complete archived page for today. As usual, it also includes some notes about my night, and the start of this morning.

 The sky has been fairly clear for some time now, but the sun has just risen above the houses to the east, but only just, and there is some thin sunshine coming over the top. Sadly the latest revision says the sunny spells will finish at 10am, and that there could be a sprinkle of rain at 1pm. It should then stay dry, but dull until more rain starts to fall at 5pm. It looks like that will last all night. Today should still make 12° C, but not when there is any sunshine, and when it would be most appreciated. Tomorrow will be a lot cooler, just 8° C, but if the forecast holds, the day should feature a fair amount of sunny spells and even sunshine.

   Yesterday was a busy day, and I guess I have a better understanding of what people do in offices. I spent a lot of the day working on spreadsheets. I am rather glad that I could edit last years spreadsheets recording my temperature, blood glucose, and blood pressure, for this year. "Edit" sounds sort of easy, but in practice it saved some useful time, but I still had to redo the days and dates in each sheet of the three spreadsheets. I was doing it in batches, and the last one was finished at about 7pm last night. Other stuff I did during the day, plus how my night went, and about the start of this morning can be read in my complete archived page for today.
