BST
Like some recent
forecasts, yesterday's rainfall was less than
forecast, but it most definitely did rain, and at
least one shower was very heavy. There might even
have been a distant peal of thunder, but it could
have been something else. One thing not in any
forecast was some sunny spells, and oddly enough,
the best was between heavy showers towards the end
of the afternoon. The start of the day
seemed a bit chilly, but by late afternoon the
temperature had risen to possibly a couple of
degrees higher than the forecast 17° C.
The Met Office forecast
(as in the screenshot above) predicted drizzle,
and the ground did look damp earlier. For the rest
of the day, The Met Office offer no more than a
20% chance of rain at any time today, and so the
chances are it will be dry, but very cloudy for
the rest of today. It is worth mentioning that The
BBC forecast predicts light rain for much of the
day ! Both forecasters agree
that the temperature will only reach 15° C today -
great weather for February ! Tomorrow could be
similar to today, but feature lighter cloud, and
it could warm up to 18° C.
Yesterday got off to a bad start, but the rest of the day was at least "OK", and there might have been a few good good bits. The bad thing in the morning, actually very late morning, a few minutes to midday, is that the pharmacy didn't have my repeat prescription ready. The story of this, and the rest of my day, night, and this morning, is described in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was pretty
good. It was dry with sunny spells, and it seemed
perfectly warm enough for t-shirt and shorts. The
forecast temperature was 20°
C, and I think that was about right.
As usual, the BBC and
Met Office forecasts are rather different,
although both predict rain. The BBC say possibly
light rain all day long. The met Office say the
rain will be on and off, but some of it could be
quite heavy. The BBC predicts a thunderstorm for
3pm, but it does seem to be rare for BBC predicted
thunderstorms to happen, although the version of
the met Office forecast last night also predicted
a thunderstorm today. It doesn't seem to have
started to rain yet, although the sky is very
murky. Today should reach 17° C. Tomorrow
could be similar to today, but a bit cooler with
just 15° C expected.
Yesterday was, on the whole, a good day, but with two not so good things, although it seems one didn't really matter anyway. These things will be explained, some with pictures, further down the page. Essentially, my day started with a shave, shampoo, and shower. The rest of my day is described, with pictures, along with my evening, night, and this morning, in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was not as
awful as forecast, for instance no heavy rain fell
for more than a few minute. Most of it was light
rain, and even when it was
forecast to be raining it was sometimes dry, but
still rather murky outside. I don't think the
temperature rose above the forecast 16° C.
There has been some
sunshine, but now it is quite dull. However the
extra dull hour at 10am, in the screenshot above,
has now been replaced by just white cloud, and all
yesterday's predictions for some showers today
have disappeared. The chances are that there could
be quite a few sunny spells today, and that may
push the temperature up to a more respectable 20°
C. It could be a cool night with the
temperature down to 12° C, and the rest of
tomorrow could be no more than 17° C. The current
prediction for tomorrow is that there will be a
scattering of light rain showers - except in BBC
land where an occasional afternoon thunderstorm is
predicted. I suspect that like yesterday's
forecast for today, the forecast for tomorrow may
change beyond recognition.
Yesterday's dull and wet weather did nothing to put me in a good mood, and yet some of the day was OK. There were other reason why my day was spoiled, but I'll get to those reasons later. I guess I was lucky that I managed to find a time to go out when I only briefly passed through some moderate heavy rain. As boringly usual, my day, night, and the start of this morning, is all more fully described in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was not quite
as bad as forecast. There were more sunny spells
than forecast, and although there was rain, it
seemed to be little more than the occasional,
short passing shower. It was sadly a rather cool
day. I don't think I saw anythi9ng higher than the
forecast 16° C, and even that didn't last
long.
The road is very wet
outside, and we haven't yet had the heavy rain
forecast for 9am to midday....err, now forecast to
continue until 4pm according to the latest
revision. After that it should be dry, and a sunny
spell maybe possible, although it feels unlikely.
When the rain stops on the Met Office Forecast,
The BBC reckons we will have a thunderstorm. That
will be in the middle of just light rain that will
fall from early morning, and not stop until 10pm !
The highest forecast temperature today will be
just 16° C. Tomorrow should be brighter, and there
might even be a couple of sunny spells. It should
be dry, and the temperature could rise as high as
19° C.
Yesterday was not a good day. There were many reasons for this. One simple one was the weather was not the sort of weather that makes me feel good, although it was probably more neutral than bad (except for a few brief times). Most of the troubles stemmed from the precarious state of my guts. My mostly sparse day, plus my mostly uneventful night, and a few good things about this morning, are all described in my complete archived page for today. |
Monday 27th May 2024 |

BST
There were a few light
showers during the day, but generally, yesterday
was bright, often sunny, and it seemed to feel
warm. It didn't pay enough attention to my outdoor
thermometers, but I suspect that for a while it
was a degree or two higher than the forecast 18°
C.
As I write this it is
bright and sunny. At least half the sky is blue,
but both forecasters (Met Office and BBC) say that
it will soon cloud over, and from 1pm it will
start to rain, although the BBC say the rain could
start as early as 11am. The latest revisions seem
to show a trend that suggests the rain will be
light rain, and maybe (fingers crossed) no rain at
all. It is going to be a cool day with forecast
temperature similar to the forecast for yesterday,
just 15 or 16° C, but yesterday did seem to feel
warmer than forecast. Tomorrow may be dull and
wet, with a similar temperature range as today.
There is good news about this morning coming later, but yesterday was probably merely pleasant, without being exciting, although maybe it was not that great because I decided to get drunk from late afternoon. I guess I can't think of anything bad about yesterday, but then again I can't think of anything good either. I have described all I can write about yesterday, plus some notes about my sleep, and this morning, in my complete archived page for today. |
Sunday 26th May 2024 |

Yesterday was rather a
nice day. The BBC forecast came closer to reality
with it's prediction of sunny spells all day.
Reality was a bit better with several hours of non
stop sunshine. The temperature definitely reached
the predicted 21° C, and
maybe hit 22° C for
a brief period of time.
There was a lot of rain
last night, although it didn't seem to be heavy
rain. The early forecasts said it should be
raining again now, but the sun is shining ! The
latest revision says 9am could be very dull, but
the look of the sky, white fluffy clouds, and
patches of blue, suggests otherwise. The BBC says
it should by medium bright, and raining now, and
at 9am. For 10am they predict a thunderstorm, but
The Met Office says sunny spells, and that the
heavy rain, with no thunder and lightning, will be
at 11am. It seems obvious that no forecast can
predict what today will actually be, although
there is a common agreement that the temperature
will be 18° C this afternoon. On the other hand,
if it should turn out that there is more sunshine
than forecast, then it could get a bit warmer.
Tomorrow is going to feel almost cold at 15° C.
There could be random sunny spells and random
showers tomorrow - hardly what I expect with June
now less than a week away.
Yesterday was nothing like I expected it to be. As well as not going for a morning (or afternoon, or evening) poo, I was also suffering from really bad lower back pain (maybe even hip pain). I don't think the two things were related, but I guess it is possible. The two changed the day for me. I do my best to explain these things, plus a general description of my day, night, and this morning, in my complete archive page for today. |

For some unknown reason
I kept thinking that yesterday's weather was going
to be a lot better than it actually was. The
forecasts got it about right - some sunny hours at
the start of the morning, and generally dull for
the rest of the day. At least it stayed dry, and
18° C should have been good,
but it seemed to be a rather cool day needing
the heater on from time when being very sedate.
As usual, the BBC and
Met Office forecasts are a bit different. The BBC
thinks there will be non stop sunny spells until
full sunshine from 5pm until sunset at 9pm. The
Met Office say full sunshine for a few hours this
morning, and that will be followed by some sunny
spells, the occasional hour of full sunshine, and
a few hours with no sunshine. Both forecasters say
it should be warm with the temperature rising to
21° C. As seems to be happening far too frequently
this spring and summer, one good day will be
followed by one or more dull wet days. The Met
Office say tomorrow will be bright, but there will
still be light rain almost all day. The BBC
predict a mix of sunny spells and light rain. The
temperature may rise to 18 or 19° C.
Although I had hopes that yesterday might be a nice day, the weather forecasts partly put paid to that, and I just didn't feel like doing anything. Some was a legacy of a poor night's sleep, and some was ultimately the depressing defects of dull weather, and feeling it should be warmer. As usual, all I can say about yesterday, last night, and also the start of this morning, is all written in my complete archived page for today. |
Friday 24th May 2024 |

The weather was much
improved yesterday, although the morning did seem
to be a bit too cool for t-shirt and shorts (but I
went out like that anyway). There was the
occasional glimpse of the sun in the morning, but
most of the sunny spells were in the afternoon.
Even in the afternoon there weren't any times when
the sun felt strong, but the sunny spells
probably helped to push the temperature up to 18°
C - not exactly warm, but
still fairly pleasant.
Only this morning will
feature blue skies and sunshine. If the forecast
is correct it will all be over by 10 or 11am. The
BBC says sunny spells will resume by 6pm, but the
Met Office predict a dull day from midday onwards.
It should stay dry, and the temperature will
probably be the same as yesterday, 18° C. Tomorrow
should be a lot brighter with chinks of several
hours of non stop sunshine. It should reach 20 or
21° C.
Yesterday was probably a good day. I had two short outings wearing nothing but t-shirt and shorts, although I have to confess it was probably a bit cool, and draughty for bare legs ! A very bad late evening (and a bit into the early hours this morning) sort of balanced the books to make yesterday a more neutral day, and with hindsight, not so good. All this is better explained with all the good and gruesome details, in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was horrible, but maybe less horrible than forecast - certainly less than the Met Office predicted. It was more like The BBC's forecast of non stop light rain, except that there were very long gaps between light showers, often little more than a bit of drizzle, in the afternoon. A lot of the afternoon featured gaps in the showers long enough for the road outside to almost dry out. Rain or no rain, it was a dull day, although it did seem a bit brighter from mid afternoon, and if the sun had set an hour later we might have seen a glimpse of the sun. The temperature may have briefly peaked at 16° C, but 15° C was more representative of the afternoon. Yesterday was an odd sort of day. During the morning when it was very dull and wet it seemed like it could be a very slow, very boring day. It was neither, but only when looked at, at a certain angle. I did one good thing, and one thing that was could ultimately be pointless, and another thing that was definitely worth doing. All my notes about yesterday, last night, and this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was horrible ! There was probably less rain than forecast, but it was still very dull, and it seemed cold. I didn't keep tabs on my own thermometers, but I reckon the forecast of just 16° C was about right. That might have been almost luxury on a sunny day a few months ago, but with June just over a week away it seemed very poor. Yesterday was a very miserable day. The weather was most depressing, and I decided to follow suite by being depressed as well. Time seemed to drag, except it didn't really. When I think back it didn't seem to be a particularly long day, and I did manage to do a few useful things. Most of what I did yesterday, plus all I can remember of my sleep, and a few notes about this morning, is all described in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was warm and sunny, and the sun was shining when the threatened thunderstorm at 4pm never happened, although there was a medium sized dark cloud that was visible in the sky for a short while. The temperature only reached the predicted 21° C, but that felt nice in the sunshine. Yesterday was one of those days that had it's good moments, but ultimately it was a bad day - for reasons that I will explain further down the page. The worst thing was undoubtedly the weather - but only because I failed to take advantage of a nice warm and sunny day, although I did briefly take advantage of it when the earlier forecast predicted a thunderstorm. All this, and more is explored and explained in my complete archived page for today, which also includes notes about my night, dreams, and the start of this morning. |
Monday 20th May 2024 |
08:09
BST
After a dull start, yesterday turned into quite a nice day. There was a lot of sunshine, although there were several times when it went dull for a while in the afternoon. The temperature reached 22° C, but for some reason it didn't seem to feel that warm. I don't recall it being windy, and so it must have been just me. Yesterday was a moderately productive day, but I never took advantage of the sunshine and warmth outside. Indoors didn't always seem to feel as warm as the outside, or inside, temperature should have felt, or at least seemed like it should have felt. Most of what I did yesterday, the bad sleep I got, but the good dream I had, plus all the notes about my health this morning, are all described in my complete archived page for today. |
Sunday 19th May 2024 |
09:23
BST
I don't think any forecast for yesterday came anywhere near describing what the weather really was. Well I guess they got the dull start to the day right, and maybe a very brief bit of drizzle mid morning, but from then on it was all rather different. The forecast said the whole afternoon would be slightly or very dull, but the afternoon was bright with sunny spells. The earliest sunny spells were weak and watery, but later one were very cheering. Once again the temperature climbed higher than the 19° C forecast. I think I saw 22° C on one occasion. Yesterday included another 1 hour and 45 minute phone call from Sue. Most of what she said was almost incoherent, and I had to be very bluff and end the call before she drove me crazy. Anyway, I did managed to do a few useful things during the day, and I even managed a quick snooze. My day, and what I did, plus my night, and how I slept, plus this morning, and news about my health, is all described in my complete archived page for today. |
Saturday 18th May

The BBC's forecast for yesterday, which said sunny spells almost all day, was about correct. The Met Office forecast for a dull day was completely wrong. Both forecasters said it would be a warm day, with the temperature rising to 21° C , and that was right, although it didn't seem to feel right. I had to close my bedroom window a few times because it felt draughty. Yesterday I was still reeling from being kept on the phone until 2am. I felt quite listless, and in the curious, and unlikely position of being too tired to snooze. I think I only ever managed one short snooze yesterday. It would probably have been the most significant thing I did yesterday - if it did ever happen ! Once again I have written a fairly brief account of a day when little happened, plus the usual notes about my night, and this morning, in my full archived page for today. |
Friday 17th May 2024 |

The forecasters got it right when they said there would be rain yesterday, but they got the times and intensity completely wrong. All I can remember is a few hours of very light rain around midday, and the rest of the day was dry. I'm sure I can remember a few short sunny spells in the afternoon. The originals forecasts about the temperature underestimated it. Just 15° C was predicted, but I am sure my three outdoor thermometers showed 18° C at one time. Yesterday was a good day. I even managed to get a lot drunker than I realised ! I intend to try and write very little today because I have got off to such a late start. One some good days I could be finishing writing at the same time (10:28am) I am writing this. It seems I only wrote 960 words today, and you can read all those words about my day, night, and this morning, in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was completely different to that predicted by the weather forecasts. The start of the morning was dull, just as predicted, but by about 11am the clouds started to break up, which they weren't supposed to. Instead of a mostly grey afternoon, as forecast, it was mostly a sunny afternoon. That even pushed the temperature up a couple more degrees to 20° C, and maybe even 21° C. Yesterday was an eventful day - some events were good, and others turned out to be not so good. My early start paid off. I finished writing early, and had plenty of time to have a good shower before I got ready to go out. The unexpected need for an additional poo slowed me down a bit, but I still managed to get out in time to not be late at the hospital. The rest of the rather long story about my visit to the Cardiologist, and the rest of my day, night, and the disaster that is this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page for today. |
Wednesday 15th May

06:57
BST
Yesterday was a lot drier than forecast. The BBC forecast came closer with light rain instead of heavy rain, but even they showed too many hours of it. The afternoon included some short sunny periods when both forecasters said light cloud at their most optimistic. Even the temperature forecast was a bit too pessimistic. I saw 18° C, which while not a huge difference was still 2° higher than forecast. It's a very early start this morning because I want to be showered and dressed soon after 8am, but I reckon I have just over an hour to write up a few notes about yesterday, last night, and this morning. The entire thing can be read on my complete archived page for today. |

There were several unexpected sunny spells through the day, but mostly it was dull. It stayed dry, and the temperature managed to reach 20° C. Yesterday was fairly productive, and yet it didn't feel like the triumph it should have been. It was a morning when I felt like doing stuff a lot earlier than usual, and I was washed, dressed, and off to Tesco, to get some shopping, earlier than usual. My triumphs, and failures yesterday, are described along with some notes about last night and this morning, in my complete archived page for today. |
Monday 13th May 2024 |
08:26
BST
I think the BBC weather forecast came closet to reality yesterday. The morning was very sunny, and the afternoon featured a lot of sunny spells. The possibility of a thunderstorm at 5pm turned out to be pure fantasy. I don't think even the sunny spells stopped. The temperature did indeed reach the predicted 25° C. I think it is fair to say that yesterday was a reasonably good day. It didn't feature any high power productivity, but I did do a few useful things. Even the afternoon beer tasting session was not so bad. A few beers were actually quite nice. Most importantly it was a day when I seemed to control my eating quite well. Most of my day, night, and part of this morning, is described in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was warm but there was a lot of very thin cloud that slightly dimmed, and cooled the sunshine. On the plus side, there seemed to be more of the watery sunshine than the weather forecast seemed to predict. The afternoon temperature rose to the predicted 22° C. Yesterday was both a lazy and very busy day. As predicted, in the last paragraph I wrote yesterday, I did mostly make the day up as I went along, although my prediction that I might do some laundry turned out to be right. I can count the main things I ended up doing on the fingers (ignoring the thumb) of one hand, and still have a finger left over ! My day, evening, night and the start of this morning is all described in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was another warm and sunny day - even warmer than the previous day. The temperature just about made it to 22° C. Now and then the sun dipped behind a cloud, but I think the day could be described as a sunny day ! Yesterday I was still feeling not so good after my very bad stomach upset the previous night, and I was a bit bothered about my weight and blood glucose readings, although, on reflection, my blood glucose readings yesterday morning were not that bad. Nevertheless I felt I had to be very careful about what I ate yesterday. All I did. all the results, how I slept last night, and all the usual stuff can be read in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was another warm and sunny day - even warmer than the previous day. The temperature just about made it to 22° C. There was an hour or two in the afternoon when some clouds spoiled the sunshine, and they didn't feature in any of the weather forecasts I saw. Yesterday was another good and bad day. The ending was annoyingly bad, and the morning was hard work, but that brought it's own rewards. The afternoon wasn't bad - it involved beer ! My day including going shopping, doing laundry, and drinking beer, and the disaster that was the late evening, a reduced sleep, and some of this morning, are all described in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was another warm and sunny day, but not quite as warm as the previous day. I think the temperature peaked at 19° C instead of 20° C. Yesterday should have been a great day, but it didn't get off to a great start when I found my blood glucose was dangerously high, and after that there were many disappointments. Fortunately there were a few, rather minor, good things too. As usual, it, or at least the best bits of yesterday, last night, and this morning, are all described, with a couple of photos, in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday had a fantastic, warm and sunny morning, but the afternoon, while even warmer, was a bit dull, and the sun did not return until early evening. The afternoon temperature was forecast to reach 20° C, and I think it did. Yesterday was a great day - warm and sunny - and it featured a sort of healthy three mile walk, but in the end I sort of ruined it all by taking a few chances about what I was eating. The problem is that I accidently rewarded myself more than I had earned. All the good and bad stuff of my day, night, and also this morning, is fully described, with pictures, in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was forecast to be the most disgustingly horrible day, but it was not quite that bad. The morning was very wet, and very dull, but while it didn't brighten up enough to let any sun through, it almost did. There were some random passing light showers in the afternoon, but a lot of the time it was dry. A very early version of the forecast predicted 15° C, but later on it was revised to about 13° C, and that was about the best we got. Yesterday was a pretty miserable sort of day - thank you crap weather ! On the other hand it was a great day to catch up on missed sleep by snoozing whenever I felt like it. In theory this means there is very little to write about yesterday, but maybe there are a few notes about the day that I can make. Anything I could think of to write about my day, my night, and this morning only added up to just over 1000 words (or half of a typical day), and can be read in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday almost followed the same pattern as the last few days. The morning was sunny, but it clouded over in the afternoon. There was even a sprinkling of light rain in the afternoon. Once again the temperature reached 16° C, but with no sun in the afternoon it still felt cool.. I have to admit I am struggling to concentrate on writing this morning. I feel lousy. I think it is mostly a bad weather thing, but it could all be in the mind. Anyway..... Yesterday was not a bad day, although I was feeling a mild version of today's crap version. Yesterday's mildly poor day, last night's bad night, and this morning's yucky feelings, are all described in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday morning was fine and sunny, but on the stroke of midday the clouds because too thick for even sunny spells. It may have been an hour two later when the first rain fell. The Met Office forecast said the afternoon would just be dull, and the BBC forecast predicted thunderstorms. The BBC came closer to reality because it did rain a lot in the afternoon, but it was just persistent drizzle rather than heavy rain and thunder. The even was dry, but by then the day had been ruined. It was slightly warmer than the previous day, at 16° C. Yesterday started out OK. The bright sunshine was very cheerful, but the dullness, and light rain in the afternoon killed that cheerfulness. I think I started to feel depressed, and thinking that I would not be wanting to go out in the evening became a self fulfilling prophecy. However yesterday was not entirely wasted, and I did do a few useful things. It, and also my night, and this morning, are all described in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday's weather was probably halfway between the forecasts from The Met Office and BBC. The heaviest rain was in the morning, but it was rarely that heavy, and it didn't stop at 1pm, as per the Met Office forecast, but did continue in occasional light, passing showers for most of the afternoon. It was a cold day with the temperature only reaching 13° C. Yesterday was quite a good day, but it did have a few negative moments. Actually it did have a huge negative, 3 to 5 hours long, negative moment - the copious rain, and very dull skies ! I had to find things to do indoors, because there was no way I was going out in that ! All I did and thought during the day, and how I slept, plus how I am this morning, is all described in my complete archived page for today. |

Despite the warnings of thunderstorms, and persistent lighter rain, yesterday was mostly a dry day, but it was also a rather dull day. It was also a mild day with the temperature peaking at around 17° C. Yesterday was a reasonably productive day providing you define reasonable some, but not a lot. Like a lot of days recently, and maybe longer, it was generally a good day until the late evening ruined it all - and this time I am sure it was something I did instead of just chance.

I don't think there was any sunshine yesterday, but at least it stayed dry - contrary to the BBC weather forecast, but agreeing with The met Office. Despite that lack of sunshine it was still a warm day, and at times it also felt quite humid. The forecast temperature was 18° C, but once again the consensus of my three outdoor thermometers was that it reached 19° C. Yesterday was another very enjoyable day, although things seemed to be heading for the bad at the end of the day. It never quite reached bad, but it was still a bit disappointing. The single thing that dominated the day was lunchtime in The Jolly Farmers. My whole day, my night, and some bits of dream I can just about remember, plus my morning, are all described in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was not quite as good as the day before because there was less sunshine, but there was still quite a bit of sunshine, but it was just as warm. The forecast temperature was 18° C, but my thermometers said it hit 19° C mid afternoon. Yesterday was a very productive day, but I really wanted to go out for some exercise. I couldn't do that because I was expecting a parcel delivery from Amazon. It actually arrived fairly early at about 2pm. In theory I could still have gone out for a walk around the park, but I don't seem to have much enthusiasm to go out once the afternoon has started. All my productivity, and other stuff yesterday, including about my night, and this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today. |
