Today is the day, or at least one of them, that The Met Office says will feature mist all day long. At the moment there does seem to be a very light haze, but I don't think I would describe it as mist. The BBC say that this morning will start off with heavy cloud, and that seems right. By mid morning the cloud will be lighter, but no sunny spells, or rain for that matter, are forecast. There may be a brief, one hour, rise to 13° C, but most of the afternoon may only see 12° C. Tomorrow may feature light cloud all day with no sunny spells and no rain. It might be a single degree warmer in the afternoon with 13° C forecast for the whole afternoon.

  In contrast to the day before yesterday, yesterday was very quiet. I never had a shower, and I didn't go out - except just once when I delivered an Amazon order to a neighbour after it was left here. Other than that, I can't think of an interesting or useful thing I did all day.

  One sort of useful thing (for me) that I did yesterday concerned my lunch. I had stuff that needed using before it got too old. That stuff was Hovis so called "hot dog rolls", and a large packet of Tesco pork sausages (possibly from Tesco's "Finest" range, although they seemed modestly poor quality to me). I grilled two of the 10 (I think) sausages in the pack, and put two in two of the hot dog rolls, and I ate the third by itself.

  I was not impressed with the sausage meat. It's texture, or lack of it seemed like it was possibly "mechanically recovered" meat. However, with mustard and low sugar tomato ketchup in a hot dog roll, it was quite a tasty treat. It seemed as if it should have also had a very low sugar content, and I am in two minds about that, although at worst it was not a high sugar content. I think I'll be repeating this recipe this afternoon.

  The one other thing I did of any note was also kitchen based. I cleaned the inside of the microwave oven. Except for one thing it was not as grubby as I feared it was. That one exception was all the rust in the bottom of it. There is almost no paint left on the bottom, and it is just brown rust. It does not look nice, and it means the rollers under the plate run very unevenly when the plate is turning. I think it will still be some time before I bring out the replacement microwave oven.

  I didn't just clean the microwave oven, but also cleaned and tidied other bits of the kitchen. I sometimes feel quite domesticated, and then I glance at the bits that I didn't clean......  It seems unlikely, but I can't think of anything else I did all afternoon except to read and snooze. One good thing I did was not to do something - eat any snacks ! Errr, or did I ? I can't seem to recall if it was yesterday or the day before that I had a couple of 25gm packets of crisps.

  I held out until just gone 6pm before I prepared and ate my dinner. The preparation was to open a can of soup, add some chilli sauce, heat it up and eat it. I did that twice - once with Scotch Broth, and once with pea and ham soup. As I have often found, two fairly low sugar soups don't always completely satisfy. Yesterday I had a dessert of one "red" apple with some mild blue cheese. It did seem to make a very good ending for dinner.

  I watched, or at least half watched, but sometimes only heard a bit of TV last night. I also spent a fair bit of time readings some tech news stories on https://www.theregister.com/, and in particular the comments after many of the news items. The comments can be more entertaining than the news itself. The "commentards" are a snarky lot. I guess it helps to have a technical background to appreciate some of it, but it can still be quite educational.

  I filled in a lot of time last night reading my book - Harry Harrison's "Deathworld 3". Having read the first two Deathworld novels I guess that it is now less exciting now I am on the third novel of the trilogy. On the other hand I really want to find out what happens despite having read it once before many years ago. I might have read half the book last night, and it was midnight before I turned out the light, and fell asleep rather quickly.

  There is not a lot I can say about last night. I know I got up every 2 or 3 hours for a pee, and I have a very foggy memory of some dreams. I don't know why, considering I can't remember any of the dreams, but I feel that some were quite entertaining, and rather pleasant dream. The only almost definite thing I can say is that none were erotic because I would surely remember something of such dreams !

  Another thing I can't remember is if I eventually had a poo yesterday. I certainly didn't this morning, and as a result my weight, when I weighed myself, was unchanged since yesterday. My theory is that a really good poo would lighten the load by a good few hundred grams. I think that as soon as I am back from the pub at lunchtime I will be taking a couple of laxative tablets if nothing has moved before then - ideally at home, and not in the pub toilet !

  Last night, maybe around 11pm, I checked my blood glucose on just one of my meters, and it was surprisingly low, just 7.8mmol/l if I recall correctly. I hoped that this morning's readings would be as low. Sadly they were not. The Contour meter read 8.2mmol/l, and although still higher than my target range, around 7.5mmol/l, it was quite reasonable. The GlucoRX meter read a slightly better 8.1mmol/l. The Exactive (Chinese ) meter read a higher 8.8mmol/l, and if accurate (which I don't think it is) is just about reasonable.

  The only firm plan for today is to go for my usual 2 pints of Guinness in The Jolly Farmers pub at lunchtime. I am almost tempted to try and walk to Catford Bridge station, and then walk from there to the pub. On the other hand I will want to do some train photography, even though the chance of seeing a train I have not photographed before is getting exceedingly slim. I think I'll take my Nikon D3200 camera to give it an airing. I think it should be able to pull in some good snaps even in this dull and murky weather. I think I'll come home again via the little supermarket on Catford Bridge to get some more apples, and more instant noodles.
