My
Electronic Diary For October 2025 |
Monday 13th October 2025 |
09:36 BST
Apart from the early morning mist, which was very light mist, yesterday was sort of nondescript. The forecast said sunny spells, but I don't seem to remember them as all that obvious. Most of the afternoon was probably just 15° C, but there may have been a brief blip to 16° C. I am very sure it was, as forecast, a completely dry day. ![]() The beer tasting session in the afternoon leaves the rest of the day a pale shadow of the afternoon, and even the beer tasting was not a great event. Yesterday was mostly boring, but boring is not always such a negative thing. It does mean I have more to say about my dreams than anything else, but I'll try and scrape a few words together. The complete version of what I have written today can be read in my full archived page for today. |

The forecast for yesterday said sunny spells in the morning, but in reality the clouds still seemed too thick at midday. From 2pm full sunshine was forecast, and I can't seem to remember any sunshine then, but maybe I was preoccupied and wasn't looking out the window. The afternoon was forecast to reach 16° C, and I think that was right. It was also a dry day. ![]() Yesterday was a day when I managed to do three important things that I was not sure I could do, or wanted to do. It made for a very satisfactory day. Although I don't think it has been cured, it does seem I have regained control of my ear/balance problem, and that was the key to doing two of the things I did. These things, and other stuff I did is all described as far as my memory allows, plus notes about my night and this morning, in my complete archived page for today. |

09:24 BST
Yesterday, as forecast, was a dull day - sometimes depressingly dull. I can't recall a single ray of sunshine breaking through the cloud. Like recent days, the afternoon still reached 17° C, and it was dry all day. ![]() Yesterday was not an exciting day. In fact I think I could describe it as quite dull. I think I accidently lied when I said I was fighting fit yesterday, or maybe that was before I had washed and dressed, and had time to stop and think about it. I actually felt a bit rough yesterday. I do my best to describe yesterday, last night (which was not good) and this morning, all in my complete archived page for today. |

The forecast said that yesterday would be a bright day. It certainly started with full sunshine, but that changed to sunny spells, and I remember that there could be long spells between the sunny spells - enough to make it feel a bit drab for a while. The afternoon temperature managed 17° C. ![]() I can't decide to say whether yesterday was a good, bad, or indifferent day. I guess it was mostly indifferent, except for one exciting moment, but more about that later. There is not a lot to say about most of yesterday, and I am so behind in writing this that I think I'll skip most of the stuff I might have said about yesterday. All I have written about yesterday, last night, and this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today. |

Yesterday was a dull day, but it was dry, and was almost mild with much of the afternoon 17° C. There were a few sunny spells at 6pm - just as the sun was about to set. The forecast said that by 2am, the next day, the temperature would be down to 10° C. ![]() Yesterday didn't happen - or I didn't end up writing anything. I did start to write, but I got off to a late start, and then I got a message from my sister asking how I was. I didn't have to reply there and then, but I thought I may as well get it out of the way. I have ended up skipping a day, and a few more notes, plus a description of today, last night, and this morning can all be read in my complete archived page for today. |

10:03 BST
Yesterday was another sunny day, or at least a fair amount of it was. It was also warm with the temperature peaking at 19° C. It did cool down quite a lot after dark - which started at 6:27pm. The days are getting shorter and shorter ! ![]() Yesterday was a different sort of day to many recent days. It could have easily been boring, and I would end up doing nothing. Fortunately I found I fell down a big hole, and didn't surface again until dinner time. The big hole was Wikipedia (dot com), and what started as a simple query ended up with me following endless links to related information. This, and more, is explained/described in my complete archived page for today, which also includes notes about last night and this morning. |

09:29 BST
Yesterday featured a lot of sunshine, although much of it was as sunny spells. It was a dry day, and the temperature peaked at 16° C. The temperature was forecast to fall to 11° C before midnight, but I think there was just enough cloud to stop it falling too far. ![]() It would be easy to describe yesterday as another lazy day, and I suppose a lot of it was, but there were moment of activity - including one bit of activity that was most definitely unplanned and unwanted. As I wrote yesterday, I started the day feeling horrible - like a storm was approaching - but that seemed to fade after a while, and I could have done stuff, but didn't. The long version of this, and more is all described in my complete archived page for today. |

The big weather feature yesterday was the wind. Through the morning, and the afternoon, up to 4pm, it was very windy. Apparently there was a tree blown down somewhere that caused delays to the trains though Catford Bridge station. Having ventured out in it for a short while, I can confirm the prediction I made yesterday, it did feel very chilly in that wind. The air temperature only rose to 14° C in the afternoon, and the wind made it feel even colder - maybe just 10° C. ![]() I can't say I was feeling that dynamic yesterday, but I did manage to go out shopping. In fact saying "I did manage" makes it sounds like it was a big chore. In reality it was only one notch short of quite pleasant. It was generally only spoiled by the strong wind. More of my day, plus my night and this morning, is all described in my archived page for today. |

08:51 BST
Yesterday was a dull, wet and thoroughly miserable sort of day. The afternoon temperature only barely reached 17° C ![]() I think yesterday's weather was responsible for not only make it grey, wet, and miserable outside, but the sight of it, through the windows, meant it was a miserable day inside. I ended up doing very little yesterday, but I did do a couple of useful things. All I did do, and maybe a bit more of my day, and night, and also this morning, is all described in my complete archived page for today. |

09:09 BST
There was more sunshine and sunny spells forecast for yesterday than we actually got. However, there was some sunshine and sunny spells, and the temperature rose to 19° C in the afternoon. Later in the afternoon we seemed to get some light rain that didn't appear in the forecast. ![]() I guess I could be generous and say yesterday was another good day, although it would be more accurate to say there weren't any bad things about yesterday. In fact a lot of yesterday could be described as neutral. The best thing would have been managing to lose a bit of weight even after a boozy afternoon. All I can remember of the day, my night, and this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today. |

The forecast for yesterday was not terribly good, but the day didn't seem too bad. There should have been some sunny spells in the morning, but it was mostly dull. The temperature still managed to reach a comfortable, although not exactly warm 17° C. I think I remember a few sunny spells in the afternoon, but not enough to make the afternoon much better than the dull morning. ![]() Yesterday mostly felt like a good day, but this morning I discovered it had been a bad day. The worst thing is that I don't really understand why it should have been as bad as it was. It was all about eating and weight loss, or lack of it, and I will try and explain it today in my complete archived page for today, that includes notes about my night and this morning. |

09:05 BST
Yesterday's forecast said full sunshine, and that was approximately true until maybe mid afternoon when it got a bit cloudy. The temperature probably did peak at 19° C, but I don't know for how long, and maybe not at 4pm as per the forecast. ![]() Maybe only with the benefit of hindsight, but yesterday was another good day. Less good was that I seemed to take a long time to recover from my long walk the day before. I seemed to feel quite tired through the day, but not the sort of tired where I could have long, or indeed any snoozes. My day is described in full (or as much as I can remember, and is worth writing about), plus the usual notes about my night and this morning, in my complete archived page for today. |
