Yesterday was a bit better than forecast - at least I think it was. I seem to recall that from late morning there were occasional sunny spells. That was more like the Met Office forecast. I don't seem to recall the forecast early evening rain, and maybe that was replaced by a few sunny spells. The temperature probably did reach the predicted 19° C. 
       

  Today's weather forecast, or at least the early version of it, may have been a bit pessimistic. There are white fluffy clouds in the sky, but I can't seem to recall the sunlight dipping with any clouds passing in front of the sun. That is not to say it won't happen, but it seems to have been non stop sunshine as I write this.The latest revision to the forecast says the sunny spells will finish at 1pm, and then start again at 6pm. The last two hours of daylight may feature full sunshine from clear skies. Those clear skies will mean a cold start tomorrow, but today the temperature should reach 21° C. Tomorrow could start as lows as 13° C, but it should rise to 20° C. The day will start with sunny spells, but rain is now forecast in the afternoon. Most of it will be light rain, but 9pm could see heavy rain. Even the day after tomorrow, which was forecast to be a nice warm sunny day may feature rain instead.
 
   Yesterday was a day that could be said to not have happened. It was a day when I seemed to be more content to be completely lazy rather than do anything except washing a couple of plates, and preparing a few very simple meals. The one single thing I did do was to fight any temptation (and there was a lot of it) to eat all the wrongs things in all the wrong quantities.

  My breakfast I managed to keep to just a single, albeit large bowl of instant noodles. My lunch was just rice crackers with cheese, and my dinner was the Tesco Caesar salad kit - basically a salad with the chicken kept in a small compartment, and croutons and dressing in their own pouches until you mixed it all together. I did finish off my dinner with a few zero sugar chocolate biscuits. I also had a couple of snacks during the day of a handful of salted peanuts.

  My only TV entertainment in the evening was to watch most of a savagely edited, and rudely interrupted by long advert breaks, film of David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) performing a concert at Pompeii to celebrate 40 years since the epic Pink Floyd concert that was filmed there. I couldn't keep my mind on just the music, and my mind started to wander.

  I thought to myself what it must be like to play an overdriven Stratocaster guitar through what must have been a gigantic P.A. system. I speculated that the entire output of the P.A. must have been in the order of at least 100Kw. That should have been enough to trigger another volcanic eruption. I did a search to see if I could find any technical details, but all I could find was a list of the on stage equipment >

 As I write this, the first two links are not loading. I am sure the first one was the one I checked last night. The second may have other interesting information. The last link is more like am shopping list, and shows links to potential sources of the equipment. It is written from the point of view of a salesman. The other two are definitely meant for musicians and guitar nerds !

  I was a bit worried that the Caesar salad might have triggered a bit of heartburn/acid indigestion last night. In fact it did for a little while, but this rare time it was mild enough to ignore. Last night was another night when I was asleep before it was dark outside (at approx 9pm). Like the previous night I seemed to sleep well, and possibly better, but I still had to have 3 or 4 pees in the night. Once again I wondered if my blood glucose level was too high, but it seems likely it was just the ongoing end to a period when I seemed to be retaining water (eve while seeming to pee quite normally).

  I know I had some dreams last night, but when I try and remember what they were I keep seeming to remember only what I described yesterday of the dreams the night before. The only thing I can remember from last night is something to do with a sphere. I am not sure if it was big or small, edible or inedible, although I have a feeling that it was big enough to get into. I have no idea of it's purpose.

  I can't say I felt that wonderful this morning, but I suppose I didn't feel bad. One pleasing thing was that it was one of those mornings that started with a pee and a poo - soon after getting out of bed. The first thing I did after that was to get on the scales. This morning I am happy to say that I seemed to have lost a whole kilogram in a day, and my weight is only a few hundred grams short of my lowest weight for the last few months. There is a chance that when I see the nurse of Thursday she may be able to record 2 or 3 kg weight loss since the last time she weighed me.

  I needn't have worried about my blood glucose level this morning. It was better than yesterday ! The Contour meter read 7.2mmol/l. The GlucoRX meter read 7.3mmol/l, and the Sinocare meter read 7.2mmol/l, the same as the Contour meter. That is three readings all in the light green, and all three below my current target of 7.5mmol/l. My blood glucose reading, which I have just taken, was pretty good, or indeed possibly so good that it might have been on the edge of being too low at 99/47. I am not sure where too low starts - probably at the point I fall over !

  Apart from one very important thing, I am unsure what I am doing today. The very important thing is to have a good shower after not bothering to wash for 2 days. I ought to wash my hair too. Today would normally include an after noon beer session with Jodie, but she said there were no trains today, and so she would give it a miss. Maybe she mistook no trains to Lewisham as no trains at all, but apart from the trains not calling at Lewisham, because of engineering works, there is a normal Sunday two trains an hour between Hayes (Kent) and Charing Cross.

  It is possible she will see there are trains, and decide to come over after all. The potential problem with that is that I suggested to Kevin that I would be at a loose end today, and that I might be up to anything he fancied - whether train spotting or boozing. If I get a definite, and early enough, confirmation that Jodie is still not coming over, I may decide to go out on my own. On the other hand, today might be a good day to try out my new cordless strimmer in the garden. I can't put off doing any gardening for ever - not while I have invested £50 in a new tool !!
