08:40 GMT
Yesterday started out
rather cool, but bright and sunny. From midday the
sky was too cloudy to let any sunshine through, but
it had warmed up from 7° C to 11° C. By 3pm the
temperature dipped a degree, and another degree by
5pm, but then it went up again to end the day back
at 11° C. As far as I can recall, not a single drop
of rain fell yesterday.
![]() I think I could dare to describe yesterday as a fairly good day. My health still seemed a bit precarious, but nothing too bothersome, and there were signs that it was improving, at least for a short while. Even the afternoon beer session with Jodie was better than some, and I had a great sleep last night. My whole day, or at least all I can remember of it, is described, along with notes about last night and this morning, in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday started out
bright and sunny, but it did little for the
temperature. The afternoon peaked at just 9° C. Even
before sunset the temperature was dropping, and by
7pm it was down to 6° C. By mid evening the sky
seemed to be clear, and at midnight the temperature
actually rose to 7° C.
![]() Yesterday was a bad day, or at least that was the conclusion by the end of the day. I am starting to have more trouble from (presumably) my faulty heart valve. It didn't give much trouble during much of the day, but popping out into the cold to cut up a box for the recycling bin caused a few pains. My day is more fully described, together with notes about my night, and this morning, in my complete archived page for today. |

08:38 GMT
Maybe I was snoozing at
the time, but I don't recall any of the forecast
light rain at the start of the afternoon, yesterday.
I do remember a couple of brief sunny spells in the
morning. Other than that it was a rather dull day.
The day started fairly mild at 11° C, and the
afternoon saw a tiny rise to 12° C. From about 4pm
the temperature slowly dropped, and fell to just 6°
C by midnight.
![]() Yesterday was not a great day, but it was mostly satisfactory. There were things I was intending to do but didn't, and there were things I did do that I hadn't really planned to do. With a few exceptions that I will mention further down the page, I seemed to feel moderately good for a fair bit of yesterday. As usual, my complete description of yesterday, last night, and this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today. |

08:50 GMT
If it were 3 or 4 degrees
warmer, yesterday might have been a nice day. There
were some sunny spells in the morning, but a high of
11° C was just a bit too low to be comfortable. The
afternoon and through the evening was dry, but it
was cloudy enough to not let through a single ray of
sunshine.
![]() After my poor sleep the night before, I did not start yesterday feeling good, but things improved during the day, and I guess I would rate yesterday as a semi-good day. All my recollections of yesterday, and of dreams in the night, blus notes about this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page for today. |

08:37 GMT
Yesterday was almost a
nice day, or could have been, but there was less
sunshine than the forecast suggested, and
while 13° C is probably good for mid December,
it still didn't feel warm. On the plus side it was
dry all day.
![]() Some of yesterday was good, but overall the day was a mild disaster which has left a hangover today - but not an alcoholic hangover. This hangover is more to do with a bad night with missed and/or poor sleep. I do not feel great this morning. This is all explained the best I can in my complete archived page for today. It also has notes about last night and some of this morning. |

08:26 GMT
Yesterday was not as bad
as the weather forecast predicted. When there should
have been rain there was at least one sunny spell.
That is not to say there was no rain - there was
rain, but it turned out the forecast for drizzle in
the second half of the morning was a slight
exaggeration. Some times that drizzle was so thin
and tenuous that it was completely ignorable. It is
hard to say when the rain finally stopped because it
was mostly so light that it was impossible to see
from indoors. The forecast said no rain after 7pm,
but I suspect it was earlier than that. The
afternoon saw 14° C, and the ends of the day were
only a few degrees less.
![]() Yesterday can't be described as wonderful, but it was generally pleasant, and there were a few good things about it. One positive thing was that I didn't seem to feel too bad. It seems I was over the "man 'flu", or whatever it was that ailed me. All I can recall of my day, night, and this morning, is described in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was another wet
day, but it was almost mild out. Half the morning,
and the afternoon reached 13° C. At 4pm the
temperature dropped a single degree to 12° C, but at
10pm it went back up to 13° C.
![]() According to this morning's health readings, I must have had a good day yesterday. It was actually a day when I didn't feel all that good, and I didn't feel like going out as I had originally hoped to do. I could describe it as a boring day, but maybe it was just a day to do some intensive resting. There was not a lot to describe, but I've described yesterday, last night, and so far this morning, in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was a wet day.
The forecast predicted mostly light rain or drizzle
from the start of the day until 7pm. I don't know if
there was any rain after that because it was too
dark to see, and I had no desire to go outside to
check. It was quite a mild day with the afternoon
temperature reaching 14° C. It was still 11° C at
midnight.
![]() Yesterday was a good day overall, but there were moments that was less good. The best part of yesterday was that for much of the day I was not suffering from chest pains. There were other good things yesterday, and no significant bad things. My day, or as much of it that I can remember, is described along with notes about my night, and this morning, in my complete archived page for today. |

09:31 GMT
The middle of yesterday was quite
wet from mostly light rain. It wasn't shown in the
weather forecast, but the morning featured some nice
sunny spells until it clouded over in time for the
first drizzle to form. The evening was forecast to
be dry, but I am not sure that it was. I think I
remember looking out after dark and seeing it looked
wet outside. It was a milder day then some recent
days with the afternoon reaching 12° C. By midnight
it was down to 9° C.
![]() Yesterday was a day when the bad overwhelmed the good to the extent that I find that I can't seem to remember any good bits - although I am sure there were some good bits. Maybe the good bit were just that I seemed to manage to be careful enough about my eating that I didn't put on any weight, and my blood glucose was not too bad this morning. All I can remember of my day, night, and this morning, is described in my complete archived page for today. |

08:57 GMT
Yesterday can be simply
summed up as morning dry, and the afternoon very wet
! One other important feature was the morning
started with a fairly thick frost thanks to the sky
being clear overnight. The day started at 3° C, rose
to 9° C in the afternoon. It then dipped down to 8°
C before rising again to end the day at 11° C....and
then started to fall again.
![]() Yesterday was quite good, because yesterday I didn't feel as bad as I did the day before. In fact for a lot of the time I almost felt normal (whatever that is). There was one time when I did not feel good.....err make that two times, and I shall explain both as I get to them in my narrative for the day. All I can remember of my entire day yesterday, last night and this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday morning was cold
and dark and wet. The temperature was about 8° C,
and it stayed the same until sunset. I don't
there was any heavy rain, but the rain was so
persistent that there were puddles everywhere. In
the early afternoon there were a couple of hours of
sunny spells forecast, but if they happened they
were so close to sunset as to be meaningless. Some
rays of sunshine were more obvious when the sun had
half set, and it looked like a fairly artistic
sunset. After sunset the sky cleared, and the
temperature started to drop. By midnight it was down
to a forecast 4° C.
![]() Yesterday was good and bad again, but the good was a different sort of good, and the bad was also a different sort of bad. I seemed to be suffering from mild "man 'flu", and that was bad, but I looked after myself well, and that made me feel good. This is all described in more detail, and for the whole day, night, and this morning, in my complete archived page for today. |

08:34 GMT
Much of yesterday's
daylight hours featured sunny spells, and the whole
day seemed to be dry. The afternoon temperature
reached 10° C, but after sunset (15:54) it fell fell
to 7° C by 8pm, but then rose again as more warm wet
air reached us. By 10pm it was 8° C, and just after
midnight it started to rain.
![]() Yesterday's main feature was waiting for a parcel delivery. It didn't arrive until approximately 7.40pm, and that was rather annoying, but not as annoying as waiting half the day before the Evri website was able to start giving some estimated times of delivery. There was not a lot to add to that, but there is a fuller description of my day, night, and this morning, that can be read in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday started cold but
bright and sunny. By midday it was starting to get
cloudy, and quite early in the afternoon there was
some light rain, but not a lot of it. The afternoon
temperature peaked at around 11° C, but it slowly
fell to 7° C by midnight.
![]() Yesterday was an odd sort of day. It wasn't good and it wasn't bad. I ended up doing very little except maybe eating a little more than was ideal, but I'll explain the why of that further down the page. My whole day, or what is worth remembering of it, plus my night and this morning, are all described in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was grey and
wet. The forecast said light rain all day long. It
never seemed that bad, and there were plenty of
short or medium pauses in the rain. The
(theoretical) good thing was that the afternoon
temperature was 12° C. Even at midnight it had only
fallen to 10° C.
![]() Yesterday was not a bad day, although it was only a bit good.....and a little bit bad a few times, the latter being mostly self inflicted. My day, night and this morning is fully described in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday started with
loads of sunshine, and it lasted until sunset, but
for all that it was a cold day. The morning started
at just 4° C. The afternoon only reached 8° C. Then
the temperature dipped down to 5° C before rising to
7° C at midnight.
![]() Yesterday was another bad day overall, but there were a few good things too. The worst thing was the old, old story of waiting in, on high alert, for an Amazon delivery. Fortunately, in the last 90 minutes or so they started providing more useful information. My day, night, and this morning is described in my complete archived page for today. |
