It is quite dull this morning, but maybe not as dull as the forecast seems to show. This afternoon could be very sunny, and the temperature could climb to 20° C.  The temperature could drop a lot tonight, and early tomorrow morning it may be just 9° C. Once again, tomorrow afternoon could be nice and sunny with the temperature peaking at 20° C.

  The highlight of the day was late last night. For a few days there has been what I assume to be a mosquito in my bathroom. Two or three days ago it actually bit me on my left calf, and I've had one or two other mild itches that was probably that little bloodsucker. I have tried to swat it many time, but last night it alighted near the top of the shower curtain with the open window behind it. One quick blast of deodorant spray, and it flew up and out of the window - hopefully never to return ! I didn't do a lot during the day, but what I did do during the day, the night, and the start of the morning is described in my complete archived page for today.

  The latest revision to the weather forecast is that 9am, or quite soon as I write this, will feature grey clouds. It is not quite that bad at the moment, but it is rather dull this morning. In compensation the start of the sunny spells has been brought forward to midday. There might even be a few hours of solid sunshine, and the temperature could rise as high as  19 or 20° C. Tonight could be quite cool, but thick clouds should stop it getting too cool (hopefully). Tomorrow could follow the trend and start off cool and dull, but the afternoon should be warm and sunny.

  Yesterday was a good day, albeit with some caveats. It all revolved around going to a matinee gig featuring Chain playing in The Pelton Arms in Greenwich. I don't think I mentioned it yesterday, but it was a bank holiday. It was a warm and sunny day so many people went to the coast, or local parks. A consequence of that was that the gig was poorly attended. It can get quite rammed at The Pelton Arms at most gigs, but yesterday the custom probably barely paid for the band. The complete descripion of my day, with pictures and a video, can be seen in my complete archived page for today, and it includes my night and much of this morning.

  There is a great disparity between the Met Office and BBC weather forecasts for today. The Met Office shows just a scatter of sunny spells, and the BBC show non stop sunny spells until about 3pm, and then full sunshine until sunset. The latest revision of the Met Office forecast does show many more sunny spells, but some hours are still shown as cloudy. Both agree that the afternoon could be 16 or 17° C.  Tomorrow should see 18° C, but there will probably be less sunshine - maybe as little as originally shown for today in the screenshot above.

  I think I can describe yesterday as a good day, although it did have it's downsides. Rather perversely, I often felt to be lacking in energy - the sort of thing high blood glucose can cause, but my blood glucose was unusually low (compared to my typical average) yesterday morning. I still managed to get out, and to do some laundry by hand. All this, plus my night and this morning, is described in my complete archived page for today.

  It seems that much of today will only feature sunny spells, but the temperature could still hit 21° C. As usual it is interesting to see what the BBC forecast website says about today. They predict only 20° C, but say there will be full sunshine all day. The biggest disparity between the two forecasters is about tomorrow. The Met Office say that after a a sunny start, most of the afternoon will be dull, and probably with no sunshine at all. The BBC say sunny spells until 4pm, and then full sunshine for the rest of the day. Both forecasters agree that tomorrow will be a little cooler at just 16° C.

  Yesterday was another day when I stayed in instead of frolicking in the sunshine. I don't know why, but I just didn't really fancy going out. At the start of the morning I didn't even have any idea how I would pass the time yesterday, but somehow it turned out to be a usefully productive day. The relevant parts of my day, night, and this morning, are all described in my complete archived page for today.

  The latest revision to the forecasst has put the first sunny spells back to 10am. At the moment it is fairly bright outside, but there is no bright spot among the clouds that can cast a shadow. With luck the sun will break though as forecast, and from 11am through to sunset, we will get non stop sunshine. That should raise the air temperature to 19° C (or 18° C on the BBC channel). Tomorrow may be even warmer. Much of tomorrow may only feature sunny spells, but there could be some hours with full sunshine, and the temperature may reach 21° C. (The BBC say only 20° C, but perversely that think most of the day will feature pure sunshine).

  Very little happened yesterday. I just couldn't find the inspiration to go out during the day, and even less inspiration to go to a gig in the evening. I guess I have little to say about yesterday, and that is sort of good because I spent almost the entire morning describing my day before yesterday. Nevertheless, there are a few things to describe, and I describe them all in my complete archived page for today. It includes how I slept well apart from a not very nice dream, and some good news this morning.

  At the moment it does look like we will transition from hazy sunshine or sunny spells to full on sunshine soon. Maybe today's forecast, as shown above, and hardly changed in the latest revision, and also agreed on by the BBC forecast, will be reality today. 17° C should feel good in bright sunshine, and maybe it will actually climb a bit higher. Tomorrow should also feature almost non stop sunshine after maybe an hour or so of just sunny spells at dawn. Tomorrow's temperature is predicted to reach 20° C for quite a number of hours.

  On the whole, yesterday was pretty fair, but the evening was a bit of a disappointment, although still partly enjoyable. I had a very slow start to yesterday, and it wasn't until almost midday before I had a shower and got up. That is becoming a bit of a habit, and there are reasons I can see that happening again today. In short, what should have been the highlight of the day, seeing Caz & Steve playing in The Honor Pub was a disappointment because there was a substitute act there. My whole day, night, and this morning is described, with pictures, in my complete archived page for today.

  Once again the BBC version of the forecast is far more optimistic about the amount of sunshine today. The Met Office currently shows 2pm as being dull, and only sunny spells for most of the rest of the day.  The Met Office says a maximum of 18° C, and the BBC say 19° C. With only a light breeze predicted it should feel warm again today. Both forecasters say non stop sunshine tomorrow, and both say that despite the sunshine, it may only reach 18° C.

  I had a very good day yesterday, although the best bit only lasted about an hour. During the morning I had the full shave, shampoo, and shower routine, as is appropriate for such days when I was hoping to see Angela for a lunchtime drink. It was about midday, and I was almost ready to leave when I got a message from Angela. The message suggested a change of venue. This is all described, along with a few pictures (not of trains today) in my complete archived page for today, which also includes last night and the start of this morning.

  Today ought to be rather nice, like yesterday, The Met office think the sunshine will completely go away after 1pm, but the BBC say sunny spells should continue all afternoon. That would be a lot like yesterday, and so may well be right. Both forecasters agree that it will be quite warm this afternoon with the BBC saying 20° C, and the Met Office saying 21° C. Tomorrow may be very similar to today, but perhaps a degree cooler.

  Yesterday was probably one of the best days I've had for quite some time, although it did turn out to be very tiring. Sadly I seemed to get a second wind when going to bed, and suffered insomnia for an hour or so. More about that later, but back to the morning, and it all started with a positive looking weather forecast. It is all described, with a selection of pictures, along with a description of my night and this morning in my complete archived page for today.

  The forecast for today has already been revised to match the current reality of a fairly blue sky and sunshine. It then shows just sunny spells between 10am and 1pm, and then cloudy until 6pm. I expect this picture will be revised a lot before the day is over. The maximum temperature today should start at 3pm, and will only be 18° C (not 19° C as shown in the early forecast above). The BBC seem to think the sunny spells will actually last all day today, but agree on the temperature. Tomorrow may see 21° C, and there could be sunshine or sunny spells all day. The BBC agree with this forecast for tomorrow.

  Yesterday seemed to pass smoothly enough, but it was a day when the grey light outside dampened my enthusiasm to do anything, and that included my desire to semi fast through much of the day. I was still a bit restrained, but I ate more then intended. That is one of the problems of feeling cold and close to bored. I did end up doing a few little things, and these and some commentary on the rest of the day, night, and this morning can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  This morning hasn't started quite as bad as forecast. Instead of being grey, the clouds are thin and milky white, and now and again leak some hazy sunshine. This is possibly how most of the day will be, but the current revision to the forecast now shows 4 hours of sunny spells before sunset. Unfortunately the maximum temperature is now forecast to be a degree lower at 18° C. Most of tomorrow may feature either full sunshine or sunny spells, and maybe the temperature may briefly reach 19° C. At the moment it is no more than a wish, but notice the amount of sunshine promised for Wednesday onwards in the screenshot of the early forecast this morning.

  Yesterday seemed like another nice day - although not really nice in terms of the weather - it was generally dull. I think I would only have to push the boundaries a bit to say that yesterday was almost an active day ! The most active activity was just a walk to a local shop, but I did do other things, and my whole day, night, and this morning, which includes a great taste test, is all described in my complete archived page for today.

  It is bright and sunny as I write this, and my thermometers agree it is already 13° C. The temperature should continue to rise with a peak of 18° C expected. However the last sunshine could be very soon, sometime after 10am. By 11am it is forecast to get a bit dull, and for a couple of hours, very dull. There doesn't seem to be much wind at the moment, and that may make it feel a bit warmer. It is worth noting that the BBC says the sunny spells may last until midday, and start again for a couple of hours at 6pm. Tomorrow could see 19° C, and there could be sunny spells in the morning, and then from mid afternoon. Once again the BBC shows more sunny spells/sunshine than the Met Office.

  On the whole, yesterday was not a bad day. It didn't end as maybe it should have, but I felt OK about it. Maybe the more important thing was that the day wasn't completely wasted. I did two important things, but little more in terms of productivity. The morning started with a shopping trip to get those missing salad leaves I mentioned yesterday. I also did some laundry. Both these things are described in more detail, plus other stuff from the day, the night, and the start of this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

  Today has started rather dull, and cooler than recent days. It seems to be about 11° C now, but around 5am it was down to 8° C. The latest revision to the forecast has moved the first sunshine up to 9am, and I would speculate it could end up later than that, but ultimately it should turn into a sunny day, albeit just sunny spells at first. The latest revision shows the temperature could reach 20° C today. It may reach 20° C tomorrow, but perhaps only for an hour or two. It should be a bright start, but much of the day will be cloudy and dull.

  I had another busy day yesterday, or at least that is how it felt to me. I spent many more hours photo editing. One thing became very apparent as I got to the last 20 or so photos I had taken, and it was that I was right to leave the gig when I did. Judging by the sloppy photography I was getting quite tired at the end. I offer one picture in support of the bad end photos, and describe the rest of my day, night, including a nightmare, plus the start of this morning, including an experiment when checking my blood glucose, in my complete archived page for today.

  Today was going to be just plain dull, but the latest revision to the forecast says that 10 and 11am may feature some light showers, but there is still a chance of a sunny spell at 8pm ! The highest temperature today may be just 15° C, but even with no sun that should be just about comfortable. Tomorrow could feature mostly sunny spells, and the temperature could rise to 19° C - which could feel very nice in any sunshine.

  Yesterday was a good day, but like the night before, last night was pretty awful. I'll come to that later. A lot of yesterday morning was taken up with photo selection, editing, and sometimes even beautifying. As I probably mentioned yesterday, I shot 297 snaps at the Wednesday night open mic. By the time I had got almost halfway through I had chosen and edited a fairly decent photo album of 20 shots. The rest of what happened yesterday, details of another awful night, and some thoughts about this morning can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  It seems like today will be a lot like yesterday - which is pretty usual. The sky seemed to be a purer blue earlier, but now it is a pale blue, but the sun continues to shine even if a bit hazy from time to time. Like yesterday we are due to lose the sunshine or sunny spells early in the afternoon (the latest revision to the forecast now says 2pm), but like yesterday it will hopefully stay bright. Maybe today's high will be a degree higher than yesterday at 18° C. Tomorrow is either shown as sunny spells according to the BBC forecast, or the Met Office say white cloud all day, but the temperature should still make 16 or 17° C C.

  There were two big events yesterday, and I'll describe them in due time, but there are a few notes about the rest of the day. The main thing was having to cancel my usual Wednesday visit to The Jolly Farmers because I was expecting a parcel delivery from Amazon. To my great surprise it arrived earlier than expected - right in the middle of the time I would have been in the pub ! The big events and some smaller things are described in my complete archive page for today, and which includes how I slept, and how I felt this morning.

  This afternoon may not actually be dull, but the latest revisions to both the BBC and Met Office forecasts show any sunshine finishing around midday. That is a shame for reasons I'll explain later. Sunny spells should re-appear later in the afternoon. The Met Office currently says only for 5pm, and the BBC say 7 and 8pm. It will be better than mild, but maybe a tiny bit short on warm with the afternoon temperature reaching 17° C. There are two very different views on tomorrow's weather. The Met Office say it will be almost the reverse of today - a dull start and finish, but sunny spells in the middle. The BBC are more generous with their sunny spells - they start from daybreak, and continue to 2pm. From 5pm they predict 3 hours of light showers. The temperature tomorrow may be a degree higher, or it may be the same as today.

  Everything hung on my beer delivery yesterday. I didn't do much until it arrived. It's arrival was a bit later than expected, but still within the estimated delivery time. However, by the time I had opened the two boxes up, and checked my order, and then started stuffing some of the beers into my two fridges, it seemed to be gone 2pm, and it had passed that undefined time between "lets do something", and "Can't be bothered now". All I did worth telling yesterday, plus some stuff about sleeping, and the start of this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  Today is one of those rare days when the BBC and Met Office agree that a mix of sunshine and sunny spells will continue through the morning, and up to 2pm this afternoon (2 hours longer than in the early screenshot above).  The Met Office is a bit more generous in their temperature prediction. They say that most of the high temperature will be 17° C, but in the middle there will be one hour at 18° C. The BBC reckon 16° C is about as high as it will get today. The rest of the afternoon may include a sunny spell, but generally it will be white cloud - which will hopefully make it still seem to be bright. There are two views on tomorrow's weather. The Met Office say much of the day will be bright, but midday to 2pm may feature grey clouds and light rain. The BBC say mostly sunny spells all day tomorrow. Both forecasters agree on a high of 17° C.

  Yesterday was a very variable sort of day. I found I had very little enthusiasm for anything. That could be blamed on a hangover after getting drunk at the beer tasting session the previous day, but maybe not, or not as much. A more significant thing was possible my upset guts. After a few very productive visits to the toilet my guts did not feel good. There was a lingering feeling of a dull ache, and probably more because they were empty, my guts were often growling or gurgling. The rest of yesterday, last night, and this morning is described in my complete archived page for today.

  There was rain at 7am, and it looked like there was probably heavier rain in the early hours of the morning. The latest revision of the forecast has changed all grey hours to white cloud, and thrown in a few more sunny spells - and taken a few away. In fact the predicted times for sunny spells have almost all changed. I would suggest that reality could turn out very different today, but whether it will be sunnier, or wetter is anyone's guess. The latest revision shows 4 hours of 15° C - rather better than the single hour shown in the early forecast above. Tomorrow could start a bit cool, just 8 or 9° C, but it should warm up to 17° C. There should be some sunshine, but a splash or rain may happen at some time.
 
  Yesterday was a good even though until this morning I thought it had ended as a disaster, but more of that later.  I was lazy for much of the morning, and didn't have a shower until about 11am. Once I was washed and dressed I was ready to go out into the blinding sunshine - not wearing a coat - which felt good. I went to Tesco, and there is more about that, and the rest of the day, my night, this morning, and a disaster or two in my complete archived page for today.

  On the basis that one day's weather is usually similar to the previous day, we could be screwed today. The latest Met Office revision has already changed today's sunshine/sunny spells to midday to 3pm, and then a single hour at 6pm. It has also changed most of the 20° C hours to 19° C.  The BBC, as usual, are far more generous with their sunshine with sunshine or sunny spells for most of the day, but they also show rain for 6 and 7pm. Their maximum temnperature is shown as 19° C. In other words, we really have no idea what today's weather will bring. Tomorrow may start with early morning rain, but with sunny spells later. It will probably be cooler with a maximum of just 15° C. The BBC show a slightly more pessimistic version for tomorrow.
 
  I was waiting on the sunshine to spur me on to a more interesting day yesterday, and apart from as little as one solitary minute of sunshine, it was a generally dull miserable day. There was a strong wind that made it worse at times. The one big thing I did was one thing I was wondering if I had time for on the assumption I would be out on a long walk in what should have been a warm and sunny afternoon. That something was laundry, but it was not a great success. Read why, and about the rest of my day, night, and the start of this morning in my complete archived page for today.

  It was a cool night, and maybe the forecast temperature of 9° C was about right. It certainly is a dull morning. The quality of light is similar to a misty day, but there is no mist. The forecast from the Met Office insists the sun will break through at 1pm, and from then on it will be sunny until the end of the day. The temperature should rise to 18° C. The BBC tells a different story, but it can almost be completely dismissed because it says we should be having sunny spells right now, and we definitely are not ! The is another difference of opinion about tomorrow. The BBC have a very optimistic forecast for all day sunshine and 20° C. The Met Office feel a bit more gloomy about it. They say there will only be a small scattering of sunny spells, but do agree about the 20° C.
 
  I was very busy yesterday, and I didn't have time for some of the stuff I might do if I had loads of spare time on my hands. However, I can't seem to think of anything I did yesterday that took up so much time ! I did spend the usual two hours writing yesterdays scribble, and then I was lazy for a time before going out shopping. I went to Tesco, and the details about that, plus the rest of the day, night, and this morning can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  I would say the sunny spells were all before 9am, and now it seems to be getting duller. The BBC predicts a much longer spell of light rain compared to just the two hours of heavy rain that The Met Office continues to insist will happen. After the last few days I seem to have lost all faith in my main weather forecasters. Maybe it is time to hang some seaweed up outside the back door.... The temperature forecasts are usually the closest part of the forecast to reality, and it is looking like today will be quite cool. The maximum temperature today may only be 12° C, but my three outdoor temperature sensors agree it is already 14° C now ! Tomorrow may be a lot brighter and a lot warmer than today. Both forecasters say there will be plenty of sunshine, and the temperature could rise to 19 or 20° C.
 
  It is an odd thing to say, but yesterday was spoiled by the weather being too good ! I'll explain the biggest significance of that later, but one minor significance is that it being bright with sunny spells, made me sort of relaxed in the morning. Maybe it was the threat of some nasty weather that made me think nothing was worth bothering with. I try to explain this a bit better, plus describe my day, night, and the start of this morning in my complete archived page for today.

  The sky is quite cloudy, but the sun keeps finding it's way through the clouds. The latest revision shows full sunshine for midday, and then light rain at 1pm. It might be dry, but cloudy after that until light rain starts again at about 6pm. The temperature should peak at 17° C in the early afternoon. Tomorrow is currently shown as all dry, except for 3pm when light rain may fall, but it will be a dull cloudy day. It will also be rather cool with a high of only 13° C predicted.
 
  The big disappointment yesterday was hearing from Angela that she wouldn't be coming to the pub at lunchtime. She was expecting a plasterer to arrive and re-plaster a ceiling damaged by a water leak. There were other disappointments yesterday, but I'll explain those in due course. The rest of my day, and the other disappointments/disasters are described in my complete archived page for today, with a few pictures to illustrate a few bits.

  It is bright and sunny this morning, and iut could stay that way for a few hours yet. This afternoon is just pot luck. It probably will rain sometime, but the latest revision only shows light rain at 2 and 3pm and another shower at 6pm. It seems like no one can really predict this weather, and it could equally end up as a dry day, or one with heavy rain. It is still predicted to be 17° C in the early afternoon. The forecast for tomorrow is probably just fantasy at this time, but for what it is worth....it should be bright in the morning with some sunny spells in the early afternoon, but rain towards the end of the afternoon. Once again 17° C is predicted, but even that could be very different tomorrow.
 
  I guess I could describe yesterday as being a sort of quiet day. I didn't do much, but then again I didn't have a lot of free time. The most significant thing I did was the housework in the dining room that I suggested I might do when writing yesterday morning. I did slightly more than hoovering up all Jodie's crumbs from the floor while hoovering all the floor. I also scrubbed the "wipe clean" PVC table cloth in the dining room. All the rest of my day, night, and the start of this morning, is described in my complete archived page for today.

  The latest revision of the forecast still insists that there should be sunny spells at 9am. There were none at 8am, and it doesn't look likely there will be any at 9am either. The problem is that the weather is coming in from the east, and the forecasters have no way to tell if the the thinner clouds will pass just to the north or the south of us. The same goes for the rain bearing clouds that may, or may not, arrive at midday. The BBC forecast includes an animated map of the clouds, and despite their main forecast throwing in loads of thunderstorms today, it actually shows the only time we may get rain is around 1pm when the southernmost tip of a large wet cloud will just brush over us. The afternoon temperature should rise to 17° C. The weather tomorrow, which being a Wednesday is of particular interest to me, is going to be quite uncertain, like today. It was forecast to be very wet, with possible thunderstorms. The BBC still say that, but the Met Office show the morning as being sunny, and the afternoon dull but dry. Rain is then forecast from 4pm, but like today, it is all highly variable and unpredictable.
 
  Despite some dire weather predicted, yesterday was almost a nice day. I did encounter the lightest shower possible at one point, but I think most of the rain evaporated before it even hit me. Two things stand out about yesterday, another shopping trip to Tesco, and a beer tasting session in the afternoon. All the details about yesterday, last night, and the start of this morning can be read in my complete archived page for today. It includes a picture and a video (that only plays on some computers).

  The best thing to say about this morning was that by my reckoning it was close to 13° C at 7am, and hopefully will rise higher than the forecast 14° C this afternoon. There was a red sky at 5am this morning, and that signals bad weather ahead. Perhaps the first casualty was the predicted sunny spells this morning. There have been a few hazy shafts of sunshine, but not amounting to much. At 11am the sky may turn black and the first of the rain will fall. In the latest revision it is now shown as only light rain. 1 to 4pm could be dry, but at 5pm the rain starts up again, but once again it is now only shown as light rain except for possibly 9pm when heavier rain could fall. Tomorrow could be brighter, and warmer too. 18° C is forecast, but there is a 30 to 40% chance of mostly light rain for most of the afternoon.
 
  Fine weather yesterday, particularly in the afternoon, but not so much in the morning, meant most of the aches and pains from the previous day just evaporated away, and generally I was pain free. That lead to a fairly active day, or perhaps active afternoon would be more accurate. The highlight of the day was an afternoon gig. There are a few sample pictures of the gig, plus a fuller description of my day, night, and the start of this morning in my full archived page for today.

  It is quite dull as I write this, but the first sunshine may be only an hour away. The latest revision to the forecast only makes one change to that above, and it is that 1pm is now shown as featuring sunny spells. By late afternoon it could be starting to feel hot as the temperature is predicted to rise to 21° C. Tomorrow is another bank holiday, and so naturally it will be colder and wet. The day may actually start with a few hours of sunshine until heavy clouds take over, and it may be warmest at 10am when it might be 15° C. From midday, when the rain is currently predicted to start, the temperature will slowly fall away, but it might still be 13° C at midnight. The day after tomorrow may be a bit warmer, and may have a few sunny spells in between showers, or it could be completely different to what is being forecast now.
 
  The most significant thing about yesterday was that I ached. Maybe not all at the same time, but every major or minor organ in my torso ached, and nearly every joint in my arms and legs seemed to ache. One more persistent ache was my right wrist. I spent much of the day wearing a wrist support. Despite all that, stuff did get done, and it is all described in my complete archived page for today that also includes some details of a nightmare, and some good news this morning.

  The sky was looking very threatening, but the sun managed to break through a little while ago. Meanwhile the forecast has been revised to show the first rain falling at 10am this morning. It will/may start light, but build up to heavy rain by midday. With luck the garden will be watered, and it will all be over soon after 5pm. This morning started out mild at around 12° C. It will apparently only rise to a rather cool 14° C today. Tomorrow will start dull, but it is supposed to brighten up by the afternoon, and the afternoon could see some a few isolated sunny spells. The temperature could hit a very summer like 20° C.
 
  Yesterday was an odd day. It didn't feel like a conventional hangover, but I guess it was partly a hangover that left me feeling "off". I can't really describe what "off" really means beyond it being a negative thing both physically and mentally. There were a few other things feeding into such a feeling. My poor sleep because of unstable guts, and my unstable guts still acting up through a lot of the morning didn't help. Then there was the negative weather. It may have barely rained, but that was still enough to make an assortment of joints ache. How I dealt with the day, night, and the start of this morning is described in my complete archived page for today.

  It was a warm night, and it was 14° C at midnight. It cooled off a couple of degrees by sunrise, but is slowly climbing, and could reach 18° C again today. It seems highly likely there will be rain today, but the time and intensity seems to keep changing every time the forecast is revised. The more significant difference in the latest revision is that the thundery showers, seen in the early morning screenshot above, have no been replaced with light showers. Heavy rain might still be possible at 11am and 4pm. There might even be some sunny spells between showers today. The BBC forecast said it should be raining right now, but there is no sign of rail yet, and the clouds don't seem like rain clouds. The rest of the BBC forecast says the rain should be over by 4pm, and sunny spells and even full sunshine could follow until sunset. Tomorrow could be a bit grey, and probably wet. The BBC gives a 70% chance of rain for a lot of the day, but the Met Office shows a lower chance except at 4pm when they say a 80% chance of rain.
 
  Most of yesterday was a good day, although the wheels fell off later in the evening and overnight. I don't feel too bright this morning after a troubled night, but more about that later. The highlight of the (late) morning was a shopping trip to Tesco.  That and an afternoon drinking session were the main elements of yesterday, but my night was just as eventful, and not in a good way. All these things, plus a bit about this morning, are described in my complete archived page for today.

  The latest revision to the forecast has the sunny spells finishing an hour earlier than above, at midday. After that the next sunny spell may not be until 8pm - unless you believe the BBC forecast which shows sunny spells and whole hours of sunshine lasting through the whole day. I know what I want to believe ! It should still reach 18° C today, or 19° C according to the BBC. Tomorrow may reach 17° C, but it is going to be wet, or even very wet. Both forecasters agree on that, and the Met Office has even thrown in a thundery shower ! I expect it could turn out differently tomorrow, although some rain would be good to water the bulbs I planted in my last bit of gardening.
 
   It could be said that there was a seismic shift in the events of yesterday. It was nothing like I thought, or indeed planned it would be. It started to go wrong when I heard from Angela that she was going out later in the day, and so would not be coming to the pub. I did wonder if she was going to the open mic at The Partridge pub in Bromley during the evening. To find out how yesterday turned out, complete with some pictures to illustrate some of my day, you can read my complete archived page for today.

  The Met Office have finally come around to the BBC's way of thinking - today should be bright and sunny. Sadly it will not be very warm. The best The Met Office can offer is 13° C, although the BBC reckon 14° C - both should still be bare arm weather when walking. Tomorrow may be much warmer with the temperature reaching 18° C, but only about a random of half the hours of the day will see no better than sunny spells. The BBC predict more intensive sunny spells, but only 17° C. After tomorrow it looks like rain will become a major feature in forecasts for the week ahead.
 
   After a dull, boring and miserable Monday, yesterday was much more interesting, and felt a lot more productive. Although there was not a single sunny spell in the morning that I can remember, it did seem fairly bright (after some early morning darker cloud had moved on), and it felt warm enough to go out without a coat. There are a few pictures to illustrate some of my day, plus other stuff is described in my complete archived page for today, and it includes my night and thoughts this morning.

  This morning, the 1st day of May, and sometimes regarded as almost a summer month, has got off to a grey start. There  could be sunny spells at 9am, but only for that one single hour. Rain is forecast for midday, 1pm, 2pm, and 4pm. The rain for midday and 1pm could be heavy rain. There could be some sunny spells in the early evening. I think the temperature is already 12° C, and maybe it will climb higher than the 17° C forecast for today. Tomorrow could start with dark cloud, but by mid morning white cloud is currently forecast, and that white cloud will continue for the rest of the day. It is going to be colder tomorrow with the day starting around 8° C, and the afternoon only 14° C.
 
   I didn't seem to be in a very positive mood yesterday. I wanted to go to see a couple of bands at The Sweeps Festival in Rochester, but I seemed to find too many negative reasons for not going, and I ended up staying in doing one modestly big job, and a lot of playing around jobs. That job is described briefly, and then there probably were no more jobs beyond cooking mad just playing with stuff. It is all described, and illustrated with pictures, in my complete archived page for today, which also includes my night and some observations this morning.
