This morning started at 10° C and that seemed good. I don't think I can remember black clouds for the first couple of hours, but it was cloudy. Later on we may, or may not, get some sunny spells, and even sunshine. The afternoon temperature should reach 12° C. Apparently that is supposed to be good for this time of year, although I have known better. Tonight the temperature will drop a lot, but tomorrow should see it up to 11° C after a cool start. There might even be some sunny spells, but from 5pm we may get drizzle and light rain. All the clouds should keep the temperature steady at 11° C for the rest of the day.

  Yesterday I did two important things, but overall it was not a very productive day except to somehow keep my blood glucose very high. That seems to have been a very productive, or strictly speaking a counter productive, thing, and the worst thing is that I am unsure how I did it. All this is described in my complete archived page for today, which also includes notes about last night and this morning.

   It is about 13° C as I write this, and that tallies with the forecast, but it is not sunny. There was a few minutes of weak hazy sunshine that was just strong enough to cast a feint shadow, but no full on sunshine as shown in the forecast. Even worse is that it is raining ! The idea that we could see a high of 15° C this afternoon seems probable. If the sky does clear enough for full sunshine that is going to feel very nice. Sadly it is forecast that it is back dark clouds and rain from 4pm onwards. Tomorrow may start with some light rain, but it should clear by before mid morning. The sun may not appear until midday, and the temperature may be it's highest for the day during early afternoon. only 12° C is expected, but could still feel good in any sunshine.

  Yesterday started off bad with dangerously high blood glucose readings, and also my weight going up by 800gm. I had to try and fast, and that is not easy when booze is involved later in the afternoon. I think I did well until I had finished drinking ! Today hasn't started well either. Yesterday, last night, a very long sleepless night, and this morning are all described in my complete archived page for today.

   It is indeed 11° C this morning, and should be 12° C, but it comes at a price of rain. Fortunately most of the rain will be very light, and much of it just drizzle. It may be dry after 6pm, but the temperature may not drop from 12° C. That will mean a mild start to tomorrow. There could be a few hours of sunshine tomorrow, although I think we might be straddling two weather systems, so nothing is guaranteed for tomorrow. The best bit could be 14° C while there is sunshine. That could feel really nice.

  Yesterday was one of those days that started well, but ended as a disaster, although the true outcome of the disaster was not obvious until this morning. One other negative thing was the betrayal of the weather forecast. One good sunny spell does not make a day of sunny spells ! My day and night, plus this morning, is all described, with a few photos, in my complete archived page for today.

   Today is the last of a string of sunny days. The day has started very cold again, but there is weak and hazy sunshine. The sly looks misty, and maybe this is why only sunny spells are forecast for most daylight hours. The misty looking clouds seem to be able to trap heat because today may reach 9° C. In some sunshine that might even feel warm. Tomorrow may often be damp with either drizzle or light rain, but it is going to be warmer even if thick clouds keep the sun from shining. Most of the day will be either 12 or 13° C.

  Yesterday was quite a successful day in many respects, but not in others. The day got off to a very late start because somehow I ended up writing over 3000 words in the electronic diary. That is enough for a short story, and possibly even a novella, although I can't remember the actual lengths used in the publishing world. All the bits of my day worth recording, plus notes about my night, and this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

   Another night of clear skies and another frost this morning. The temperature should rise to 6° C today, thanks to strong sunshine all day (or so the forecast predicts). The temperature may not fall to zero tonight, and tomorrow should start at 2° C. There may be a few hours of full sunshine, but that will be followed by sunny spells until about 3pm. The temperature will continue to rise after the afternoon. The afternoon should see 8° C, but if the forecast for tomorrow actually portrays reality, it should be 9° C by midnight. Wednesday may even see 13° C, but it may be a rather wet day.

  Yesterday left a bit of a bad legacy, but it was really quite a good day - rather better than any for days or even weeks. The secret was sunshine ! It inspired me to do two things, and the best bit was that both could be done at the same time. It was all about exercise and an unusual shopping trip. My day is described, with a selection of pictures, plus some notes about my night and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

   Clear skies in the night meant the temperature dropped to near 0° C, and the day started with a frost. However, the clear sky continues, and today should feature full strength sunshine until sunset. Sadly this will only raise the temperature to a forecast 5° C. The sky will stay clear tonight, and by midnight it will be just 1° C. Tomorrow may actually start at 1° C, and another day of full sunshine may see a high of 6° C in the afternoon - which is still quite cold. The day after tomorrow could even reach 10° C, but there could be some rain or drizzle, and I doubt the forecast for Wednesday is real science, and more like just guess work, but fingers crossed.

  Yesterday was spoiled by the annoyance of constipation. I am happy to say that this morning I have been once already, and may go again soon. The thing with constipation is that it is sometimes justly mildly, and at times forgettably uncomfortable, but the real bother is that you never know when it will be over, and it could happen at an inconvenient time. All this, and less unpleasant details about yesterday, last night, and this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page for today.

   The forecast suggests medium grey for right now, but the reality is that it is barely light outside. At least it is dry. At midday the already thick cloud could get thicker, but maybe just for the one hour. By then the temperature may have risen to just 4° C. In the last two hours before sunset there could be sunny spells. At this end of the day it looks unlikely, but fingers crossed. Tomorrow may start cold enough for a frost, but non stop sunshine is forecast. Sadly it may only warm the day up to just 5° C, but at least it will look nice, and should warm up my south facing rooms - hopefully enough to turn the heating off for much of the day.

  Yesterday should have been a good day, and in parts it was, but the cold and dull weather spoiled it. During the morning a few brief, and very unexpected sunny spells tried to cheer things up, but a minute or two in a sea of greyness had little impact. I more fully describe my day yesterday, plus my night, and some of this morning in my complete archived page for today.

   Oh dear, it's now back to grim times again. Today be dry until late afternoon, but it is going to range from dark grey to very dark grey. The highest temperature we can expect is just 5° C. Tomorrow is going to see a similar range of temperatures, but it could be light grey all day, and probably totally dry.

  Yesterday was a very good day. This was for a range of reasons, and most reasons bolstered the other reasons. The bright sunshine was the trigger for it all....at least it would seem to be, although I was feeling much better before the sun had even risen. My day, how I felt, plus notes about my night, and about this morning, together with a couple of pictures, can all be seen and read in my complete archived page for today.

   The forecast says it should be just 2° C, but all my thermometers say it is 4° C. As I write this I am enjoying nice warm sunshine coming through my windows. The northern sky looks to be almost all blue, but to the south there are some clouds, but I think it possible that the forecast full sunshine may start earlier than the 2pm of the forecast. Whether that will warm the afternoon up to more than 4° C is unknown, but seeing it is already 4° C, it does seem likely. Tonight will be another cold night. Tomorrow it is back to being very grey, and with a very small chance of some rain. Sadly it may be no warmer than 5° C.

  Yesterday was not a good day. It started off basically OK, but just got more and more bad as the day progressed. The only thing that was a temporary patch was some strong beer in the afternoon. I'm not sure when it started, and it may have been before I had finished writing, but I suffered from chest pains yesterday. The chest pains were not lethal, but still very annoying, and I have more to say about them, and about the rest of my day, night, and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

   Today will be cooler than yesterday - just 5° C is forecast. It seems quite grey now, almost as if the sun was still rising, and from late morning it may get an even darker grey. It should be just 3° C right now, but all my thermometers say it is already 5° C. Maybe today will be a bit warmer, although only in the range that is just plain cold. Tomorrow may be even colder. The afternoon high is currently forecast to be just 4° C, but there could be a fair few sunny spells, and even an hour or two of non stop sunshine.

  I could have gone for my lunchtime Guinness at The Jolly Farmers yesterday. Patricia didn't get here until about 6pm - much later than expected. It meant I had a quite relaxed, and maybe even relaxed day while waiting for her. To give her her due, she did keep me updated during the day. As usual, my day is more fully described, and with added notes about my night and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

   Today is supposed to be a bit brighter, and I guess it is a slightly lighter shade of gloomy grey. No rain is expected, and that is a good thing. A maximum temperature of 6° C is not a good thing. Tomorrow will be just like today except it will only reach 5° C. It seems to be taking forever to get some sort of spring joy.
 
  Today is the day that Patricia comes to stay for one night. She will be arriving earlier than her original estimate - possibly as early as 1pm. That means I am going to have to keep this brief, but that is OK because I don't have a lot to say about yesterday. It seems I only wrote 930 words about yesterday, last night, and this morning, and all can be read in my complete archived page for today.

   Today may be a weak improvement on yesterday. The ground still looks very wet, presumably from rain during the night, but there is quite a low chance forecast for rain this morning, and even less from early evening when, if we could see them in the dark, the clouds may be lighter. This morning starts at 3° C then climbs to 4° C, and finally peaks at 5° C from 1pm. It then starts to fall at 8pm. Tomorrow may see just light cloud, no rain, and it may reach 6° C during early afternoon. It is forecast to be better than today, but only by a small margin.
 
  Yesterday felt like a really horrible day despite doing a few useful things. It was spoiled by not doing more useful things, losing control of my eating, and aches and pains. The latter being quite acute in the late evening. All the negativity seemed to breed more negativity, and that was part of the reason why I could not bring myself to do more useful stuff. What I did do is described, along with notes about last night and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

   Today continues this awful cold, dark and wet trend. Today will be even worse. The first half of the day will only be 4° C, and the second half just 3° C. The clouds are forecast to be very dark all day, and it will rain all day as well. Tomorrow may be mostly dry, but it will still be very grey, and and cold. Just 5° C is expected.
 
  I did a few useful things yesterday, but not as much as would have been sort of ideal. I had allocated the second half of the afternoon to beer drinking, but only had a single can of lager (it was a one pint can !). There was little reason to feel happy, and reasons to be depressed. I did just a little bit of the latter. My day, my night, and some notes about this morning, are all described in my complete archived page for today.

   Today continues the recent trend of grey skies and rain. Once again some of it may be no more than drizzle. Most of it will be light rain, but 9pm may feature heavy rain, although reality may have drifted away from the forecast, in either direction, by then. The whole day will be grey, although as I write this it is a very light grey. The highest temperature may be just two one hour periods where the temperature reached 6° C. Tomorrow may be like a few days ago when the temperature was 4° C all day long. It will still continue the trend of being grey and raining all day long.
 
  I don't really know if yesterday was a good or bad day, a depressing day or a happy day. There were bits of both, but the cold and wet weather heavily biassed it towards bad and depressing. I still managed to do a few useful things though. After writing, and the usual rest, I spent a bit of time cleaning myself. The story continues in my complete archived page for yesterday, and which includes notes about my night and this morning.

   Today may be detectably better than yesterday. For a start the temperature should reach a still rather cold 7° C in the afternoon. It was remain very dull, and plenty of drizzle is forecast. Tonight the temperature may drop to just 3° C by midnight. Tomorrow the misery continues, only a bit worse than today. The grey day may be an even darker grey, and the rain may be light rain, although some hours may only see drizzle. By late afternoon the temperature may reach 7° C again, but I guess it is still going to feel shivery cold.
 
  It seems that somehow I did better than expected yesterday. The miserable day made me want to eat far too frequently, but I seemed to have moderated that mania quite well, although unsurprisingly, not perfectly. Another amazing thing is that i reduced my electric consumption a lot. All this and more is more verbosely described, along with notes about my night, and this morning, in my complete archived page for this day.

   I guess it is some sort of tease to show rays of sunshine around the dark clouds in the weather forecast. The chances of seeing any sun today seem slim in the extreme. It doesn't seem to be raining as I write this, and I didn't notice any rain earlier, but the forecasts says there will be light rain all day long. It currently only looks very slightly damp outside. Today has started around 4° C, and the middle and end will all be about the same. It has all the ingredients for a horrible, depressing day. Tomorrow will be a little different, but not really better. The morning may start at 5° C, and it will rain, mostly light rain, or even some drizzle, until after midday when it will be grey but dry. The afternoon temperature may reach 7° C.
 
  All the sunshine yesterday morning should have been inspiring, but I am not sure it was. It was a day when I had to fight a constant hunger, or if not exactly "hunger", a stupid desire to eat. It did not end well. I am not sure I even enjoyed the afternoon beer session. My day, such as it was, plus my night, and also some of this morning, is all described in depressing detail in my complete archived page for today.

   This morning, despite the forecasts saying it was 2° C at 7am, it was cold enough to start the day with a frost. It is now 2° C, and should get warmer now the sun has risen high enough to clear the house roofs to the east. Maybe in another hour I will be able to turn the heating off until late afternoon, but only in the front of the house, and only if the sunny spells after the first few hours of non stop sunshine are long sunny spells. Even so, the forecast says to only expect 8° C outside this afternoon. Once again, the temperature may drop a lot in the night. Tomorrow may be interesting, but not nice at all. The current forecast says it will be just 4° C all day long, and after 10am it will start to rain, and that rain may continue on Saturday. Earlier forecasts for Saturday suggested there could be a lot of sleet in the morning, but it may now be just barely warm enough to not freeze the rain into sleet.
 
  Yesterday was a typical example of how some sunshine can make for some of the day very nice, but later on it became really quite depressing. Although the depression had little to do with the weather even if the cold and dark when the sun set did nothing to help. My day is described in some detail, along with some notes about my night, and this morning, and it can all be read in my complete archived paged for today.

   It wasn't cold enough for a frost this morning, and by my reckoning it was nearly a whole degree less cold than the forecast 3° C for 7am. It should warm up to 9° C today, and with sunshine forecast it could feel OK (when in the sunshine). As I type the sunshine seems a bit hazy, although when looking in the direction of the sun it is still eye searing bright. Tonight is going to get very cold thanks to the clear sky. It could be 0° C at 6am tomorrow, but some full sunshine for a few hours, and then sunny spells until sunset, should get the temperature up to 8° C in the afternoon.
 
  Yesterday could be described as successful, but maybe lacking in any excitement. In fact it was sometimes boring - so boring that I did a few potentially dangerous experiments with my eating. To my surprise it almost turned out really well ! I achieved two useful other things yesterday, and both taxed some of the muscles that have been causing some pain recently. My day, night and this morning are all more fully described in my complete archived page for today.

   This morning didn't start as cold as yesterday morning, but it did start grey and very damp looking. I think there must have been some rain last night. The temperature may reach 10° C today, but it will be grey all day, except when it is very grey from about 3pm onwards, and it will still probably feel quite chilly. From 5pm we may see some drizzle that will turn into light rain after an hour. Tomorrow may only miss starting with a frost by a degree or two. The day should see a lot of sunshine, and it should reach 9° C in the afternoon. It will probably still feel very chilly.
 
  Mission accomplished - I bought my new microwave oven, but there is more to this story than just a couple of words. Yesterday was still not a very good day, and I guess "pretty awful" might sum it up fairly accurately. However, somehow I still managed to control my diet. My day is all described, along with some notes about my night, and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

   Today it is back to doom and gloom. The Met Office forecast shows mid grey clouds all day long. The BBC forecast shows light grey clouds. That may be a bit optimistic, and somewhere between the two forecasts may be closer to reality. The chances of a sunny spell for this hour (8am) look highly unlikely. There was a frost early this morning, but it has already melted. The afternoon may see a high of 8° C. Tomorrow will be very dull, and extremely dull late in the afternoon, but the afternoon should reach 10° C, which would be good if it were bright and sunny - which it won't be. Most of the day, like today, will be dry, but from about 6pm there could be rain.
 
  Yesterday should probably have been a bad day, but it turned out OK in the end. I heard from Jodie to say she had a runny bottom, and would not be joining me in the afternoon. Michael was still sick or busy, and so I wouldn't be seeing him either. I had to make my own amusement. I will admit I was slightly bored, but evidently I did some good things, and you can read about it all in my complete archived page for today, which also includes notes about last night and this morning.

   This morning started off very cold. My thermometers said it was below zero, and the thick frost agreed with them. On the plus side, it should be a sunny day, and that may help raise the temperature to 7° C in the afternoon. It is already looking very bright outside, although the sun has to climb a bit higher before it can shine into my room, and hopefully raise the temperature to a toasty 26° C with no heater running. By midnight the temperature may have fallen to below zero again. At 5am tomorrow is may still be -1° C, but at 6am the forecast says it will have jumped straight to +3° C. That sounds unlikely. Tomorrow is currently forecast to be medium grey all day except for 4pm when there could be a sunny spell. The afternoon temperature may reach a mild 9° C.
 
  Yesterday was an annoying day - mainly on account of waiting until almost 6pm for my Amazon delivery. On the other hand, I did seem to keep myself busy during the afternoon, and somehow I managed to control my eating better than any day for ages. My day, night and this morning, is more fully described in my complete archived page for today.

   It is very grey this morning - almost as if we are still waiting for sunrise. This may continue to 3pm when the clouds get a little thinner.  Like yesterday, the best temperature today will also be 7° C. At least it may be dry today. Tomorrow, after a very cold start, just 1° C, we should see bright sunshine all day. Once again the temperature may peak at 7° C for just a couple of hours - currently forecast to be 2 and 3pm. By midnight it might be down to just 2° C, but with the level of accuracy of the forecast recently, I would take that with a pinch of salt.
 
  Yesterday was one of those days that seemed good and bad. Much of the bad was the wet morning, but there were other things that, while not bad as such, were not good. I hope I can remember them when I write about today, last night, and this morning. It feels like I didn't remember all the not so good bits in my full archived page for today, and which includes notes about my night and dreams, and the start of this morning.
