09:19 BST
  The forecast said full sunshine, apart from the misty, almost foggy start to the day.  Once the mist lifted there were only some sunny spells. At times a nasty looking dark grey/almost black cloud would drift across the sky, and it would seem like it might rain. I think that despite sub optimal conditions, the temperature probably did peak at the forecast 18° C.
  On this last day of September the day has started nice and sunny. If the forecast is correct this full sunshine may last until 3pm, and then it will be just sunny spells until sunset. No rain is forecast, and the temperature may reach 19° C at, and only at, 4pm. Tomorrow should also be dry, but we can only expect a day of sunny spells. The temperature may peak at 18° C tomorrow. So not a bad start to October.

   Yesterday could be called a rather special day - a day that was rather satisfying ! It all started with a walk that was longer than expected. I mean the special bit started with the walk, but the actual day started off a bit mundane - just the usual stuff. My day is illustrated with many photographs, and the full version, including notes about my night and this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

 09:11 BST
  Most of yesterday was quite dull, although there were a few short sunny spells in the early morning, and as the sun was setting. No rain was shown on the forecast, but there was quite a lot of light rain or fine drizzle in the middle of the day. The temperature only rose to 16° C but, again, under the grey sky it felt colder.
  The weather warning on the chart above, refers to mist and fog. None is actually shown on this BBC chart, but the Met Office forecast shows mist from sunrise to 11am. It is quite misty now, and earlier on it did seem like it was thick enough to be called light fog. Somewhere above that fog, but below cloud level, it may be bright and sunny, but there is not a hint of the sunshine shown on the weather chart. Maybe the fog will lift in time for some sunshine before the sky clouds over. Today may be completely dry, except for condensation from the mist and fog, and the temperature may even reach 18° C, but if the fog has not lifted it will feel a very chilly 18° C. No mist or fog is forecast for tomorrow, and it should be dry with some sunny spells and even some full sunshine. That should allow the temperature to rise to 19° C for maybe a single hour in the afternoon.   

   Yesterday was one of those days that was both good and bad. The bad was mostly, but not entirely booze related, but more about this and other things later. I have described as much as I can remember of a day when not a lot happened until the evening, and added notes about my night and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

 09:09 BST
  Yesterday started bright, but by midday, perhaps a little earlier, the sky became full of dark looking clouds, and my weather stations said it would rain. There was no rain, and twords the end of the afternoon it brightened up a bit. The afternoon temperature still reached the forecast 17° C but under the grey sky it felt colder.
  My thermometers agreed that today started closer to 10° C that the forecast temperature of 12° C. It was brighter earlier, but now the sky is filled with clouds, and maybe some could drop some drizzle. My weather stations still predict rain, and although none is shown on the weather chart (above) it does show 15 to 20% chance of rain between 3pm and 7pm. The afternoon may reach just 16° C. Tomorrow could start as low as 9° C., thanks to clear skies, but those clear skies could mean that tomorrow may be very sunny, and the temperature should reach 18° C. for a few hours in the sunny afternoon.
 
   Yesterday was an "interesting" day. As reported yesterday I had my first Mounjaro injection. It was easy enough to do, but I managed to give myself a much smaller dose than I was supposed to. It did have one unexpected result, and very little else. This, and the rest of my day, notes about my night, plus some notes about this morning, are all more fully described in my complete archived page for today.

 08:40 BST
  Yesterday was a dull day. I can't seem to remember a single ray of sunshine (which may not mean there wasn't one that escaped my attention). Even without sunshine the temperature rose to the seemingly typical 16° C for late September.
  There is bright sunshine as I type this, but the sky seems covered by long streaky clouds with some thin blue strips. The sun must be shining through one of those blue bits of sky. The forecast says there will be full sunshine until 10am when we will only get sunny spells (1pm may not even feature any sunshine). This afternoon should see the temperature rise from this morning's 10° C to 17° C. During a sunny spell that might feel nice. There is a small chance of rain tomorrow, but only 9am is show as raining at the moment. Most of tomorrow will see sunny spells, and the temperature should rise to 18° C for a couple of hours.

    Yesterday was an odd day. I am not sure how to describe how I felt. I couldn't even work it out for myself. I didn't seem to feel sleepy tired, but I did seem to feel lacking in enthusiasm - a feeling that persisted in different degrees through the day. I did very little, but I did manage two important things. My day, and night and this morning, are all described in greater details, with pictures, in my complete archived page for today.

 09:04 BST
  Yesterday was forecast to feature strong sunshine all day. but I am sure I can remember quite a few dull hours. Even if there was full sunshine it was not a very warm day. The morning was particularly chilly. Even the afternoon, when the temperature peaked at 17° C did not feel that warm, although the sunshine coming through my south facing bedroom windows, did warm the room up enough that I had to open the window and let some of the heat out.
  The temperature today is very similar to yesterday, but today not a single ray of sunshine is forecast. I did very briefly step outside the back door to put some food out to the fluffy - this being one of his  3 or 4 or 5 homes ! I didn't have a short on, and it did not seem that chilly, but it was nice to get back indoors again. This afternoon the temperature will only reach 16° C, and that is only a degree less than yesterday when there was supposed to be strong sunshine (but may not have been), and today is looking like it will be dull....or possibly worse, although the only chance of rain might be at 8pm when there is a 17% chance of rain. All other hours are forecast to have 0% chance of rain. Tomorrow should also be completely dry, but sunny spells will return for the whole day, and the temperature could peak at 17 ° C.

    Yesterday was another  rather a good day - mostly. Maybe the morning was a bit rushed in places, and some of the rush was being delayed by another long, and 90% pointless call from my "friend" Lee, but I wrote about that yesterday. My day is more completely described, along with notes about my night and this morning, in my  archived page for today.

 08:03 BST

  There were enough thin clouds this morning to dim the sunshine a bit, but never stop it. The forecast says full sunshine all day, but there are still thin clouds in the sky as I write this, and I suspect that instead of full sunshine some parts of today may only see very long sunny spells. Once again 17° C is forecast. The wind isn't shown as strong, but it is coming from the north, and that could cool things off a bit. Tomorrow may be two degrees cooler, but otherwise the range of temperature may be similar, but sadly it may all happen under grey, or even black sky. There is a 7% chance of rain, which usually means it will be dry at 10am, but the rest of the day shows 0% chance of rain....although that could change when tomorrow arrives.

    Yesterday was rather a good day, and while there was still some not so good bits, I seemed to feel it could almost be called a happy day. The first, and maybe the only good and bad bit was in the morning when I saw the nurse, but more about that in a paragraph or two. My day is more fully described, along with notes about my night and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

 08:37 BST

  I'm still waiting for the first sunny spells as promised in the forecast. At the moment the clouds look streaky, and maybe a gap will open up to let a bit of sun through. If we do start to get sunny spells, and if we get the promised full sunshine from 2pm, we could see the temperature rise to 17° C. It seems to be about 12° C as I type this at 08:56. Tomorrow could start at just 10° C, but full sunshine is predicted for most of tomorrow, and that should get the temperature up to 17° C again.

    Yesterday was not the sort of day I expected. I thought I might be able to convince myself to go out for another walk, but that never happened because of a 6 hour long phone call from a friend. It was not the usual gas bag friend, but another who can also talk forever. More about that, how my night went, and this morning's adventures with the nurse, is all described in my complete archived page for today.

 08:30 BST

  This morning was another very cold start - just 8° C ! There has been full sunshine for the last couple of hours, but maybe the clouds will gather, and from 10am it will be just sunny spells. The sky is almost clear at the moment, and somehow the idea that it will get cloudy does not feel right, but I guess anything is possible. Once again the afternoon high will be just 16° C, but if the forecast turns out to be correct it will be under a grey sky, and that will probably feel cold. Tomorrow may start a bit warmer, if 10° C can ever be described as warm. The morning should see sunny spells, and the afternoon, full sunshine. That could take the afternoon up to 17° C. That may feel very nice in full sunshine.

    Yesterday was quite a good day, but it did have a sting in it's tail. It involved fresh air and some walking, and that made me feel very hungry. That was the sting, and I fell for it hook line and sinker ! It might possibly inspire something similar, but with less food today......or not ! The good, the bad, and the ugly, and lots of pictures, plus the usual notes about my night and this morning, are all shown in my complete archived page for today.

 08:54 BST

  This morning was a very cold start - just 8° C - but the full sunshine, that should last until 11am, and then followed by sunny spells, should see an afternoon high of 16° C. The wind may not be too strong, and there would seem to be zero chance of rain today. It may not feel too bad in the sunshine, but probably a little cool in the shade. After a clear night, tomorrow could start at just 7° C, but some hours of full sunshine should warm things up fairly fast. It is possible that from 1pm the clouds will gather, and tomorrow after should still be dry, but it may get very dull and gloomy. That will make the high of 16° C feel a lot cooler than today's 16° C with sunny spells.

    Yesterday could be described as a good day for several reasons. The full sunshine instead of the forecast sunny spells yesterday morning was one good thing. Washing my hair and having a long overdue morning shower was a good thing too. The best thing was going out ! The less good thing was I heard from Jodie, and she said she was giving the beer session in the afternoon a miss because she didn't fancy rail replacement buses. My day, such as it was, is described, along with some notes about my night, and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

 09:38 BST

  The forecast shows only a few sunny spells for this morning, but I have had strong sunshine pouring through my windows for several hours now. It is now too warm in my bedroom, and I have opened the window to let in some of the 12° C air outside. The sky is looking about 80% blue, and the strong sunshine will probably last long beyond 10am when the forecast says it will be cloudy until 1pm when sunny spells, or maybe strong sunshine, will resume. Despite all the sunshine, the forecast only shows a high of 15° C. The view to the north shows just a few small fluffy clouds in a clear blue sky. Both my weather stations say the pressure is rising, and they predict a sunny day. I have a feeling we will see more than 15° C today. The forecast for tomorrow shows a very cold start - just 8° C - but there could be loads of sunshine all morning, and the afternoon will feature sunny spells, but only 15° C is predicted again.

    Yesterday was another day when I did less than intended - a lot less ! I don't know why, and which feeling ruled the other but I felt like I had little energy, and little enthusiasm. Maybe I had no enthusiasm to find any energy. I still did a few things yesterday, and as much of them as I can remember are described, along with notes about my night, and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

 09:53 BST

  I don't know what happened to the sunny spells shown for this morning on today's forecast. When I opened the curtains, at about 7am, maybe a bit layer, the sky looked very grey, and it looked damp out as if it had rained, but that may have just been the grey light from that sombre, depressing grey sky. The only redeeming factor was that I think it was around 17° C instead of the forecast 15° C. It is now 10am as I write this, and there is not a single hint that we could get the briefest sunny spell. By 1pm the temperature should hit it's peak for today, 20° C, and it may stay there for a couple of hours. From 3pm the sunny spells, if they ever start, will be replaced by light rain until 6pm when we might, possibly, get some sunny spells, but I doubt it. The latest revision to the forecast says it might reach 21° C at 2pm, and only at 2pm. Tomorrow should/may be dry, but it will not be warm. A maximum of just 14° C is forecast. There may, or may not be, a scattering of sunny spells tomorrow.

    Yesterday was definitely warm, and it was an excellent day for a walk in the park - except I never went out once. The initial reason was because I could not have a shower because I had a big bucket of laundry in the bath. It was not long before I just wrote the day off. I did do a few things, and these and other stuff from my day, night, and this morning, can be read in my complete archived  page for today.

 09:01 BST

  It is only starting to change from quite cool to mildly warm as I write this, but it is sunny now. Full sunshine, from now to sunset, means we should see an afternoon high of 24° C - almost like a summers day. Tomorrow may start with sunny spells, and it will be fairly nice until 2pm, and it should reach a fair 20° C. If the forecast for tomorrow contains any reality, then after 2pm the sky will go grey, sometimes even dark grey, and there could be light rain until mid evening.

    Yesterday was a quite pleasant day. I didn't achieve all that much, but some of what I did achieve was useful. One good thing about yesterday is there seemed no rush for anything - except maybe for one thing that should have been rushed, was actually ignored. A more complete description of my day, night and this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

 09:14 BST

  The forecast for today provides very little hope of even a slightly nice day, or bit of day, but... The forecast says almost black clouds as I write this, but we have just had a sunny spell. I must admit it looks unlikely we will get another, but maybe some small gap in the clouds will line up with the sun. Surprisingly, no rain at all is forecast for today. Late in the afternoon we may even get some sunny spells, and the temperature may reach 21° C - a warmth we haven't felt for ages. Tomorrow may even be a full respite from the woes of Autumn. There could be a lot of sunshine, and the temperature may reach 24° C.

    Yesterday was one of those days..... A day when just the weather forecast banished all hope of anything but a miserable day. It certainly put the brakes on any ideas or intents that I had. I'm not sure I can say it was a completely lazy day, but I have nothing to show for it. Anything I did do, plus some notes about my night, and this morning, is described in my complete archived page for today.

 07:34 BST

  This morning started off rather cool at just 14° C, but worse was that it is, and will be all day long, dull, grey and wet. It is possible that the rain will stop at 3pm. Before then there may only be light rain, and a couple of hours may only see drizzle. Despite all this negativity, the afternoon may still see 18° C again. It may even be 18° C at midnight ! Tomorrow may start at 17° C, and that would be good if it warmed up from there, and it may do just that. By 2pm the temperature may reach 21° C. That may also be the time that the greyness becomes sunny spells. There might even be full sunshine at 7pm - just before the sun set !

    Yesterday is best described as "pleasant" - not quite good enough to be called good, but better than bad. I managed to achieve several good things, although I also managed some bad things that have left a legacy this morning. One good thing was evicting another 8 legged monster that decided to set up home in the corner of my bathroom. My day, plus notes about my night, and this morning, is all described in my complete archived page for today.

 09:18 BST

  The wind calmed down yesterday evening, and today the wind will only briefly touch 14 mph (at 10am....maybe). This morning has started with clear skies, and full sunshine. Later on the clouds will be back, the forecast says sunny spells for most of the day, and even full sunshine again this evening. They day should be completely dry, but it may rain after midnight tonight. The afternoon should reach 18° C again. Sadly tomorrow will be dull and wet. From morning to early afternoon there will be rain. Some of it light rain, and some of it just drizzle. By 3pm it may dry up, but it will remain grey and gloomy.

    Yesterday was one of those days where very little happened, but the day seemed to pass by very smoothly, and at times, even enjoyably. I didn't spend the whole day doing nothing, but I have very little to show for yesterday. In theory I have little to write about yesterday, but I'll see how it goes as I am writing. All I could remember to describe can be read, along with notes about my night and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

 09:55 BST

  Despite the warm(ish) wind last night, this morning started at just 14° C. The main feature of today's weather is very strong winds. Most hours, until 8pm when the winds should die down, will see winds of 40 to 45 mph. The wind will keep the clouds broken up, and there should be loads of sunny spells today, and the temperature should feel mild despite it only peaking at 18° C - however the latest revision to the forecast now shows the high as being just 17° C. The headline for tomorrow says "Sunny intervals and a moderate breeze". There is not a lot to add to that except to say the afternoon high may be 18° C.

    Yesterday seemed to be quite a pleasant and even enjoyable day. Of course there were always set backs like another attempted long phone call from Lee, but at 11am I forced the call to an end because I had so much to do. For one thing I had to try and think up captions for all the pictures I showed yesterday. My day is described the best I can, and it can be read, along with notes about my night, and this morning, in my  complete archived page for today.

 09:41 BST

  For once I almost agree that it was 10° C at 7am, although my thermometers actually said 9.9° C ! It is certainly a bright and sunny morning, but by 11am it might reduce to just sunny spells. By 1pm the cloud may be thick enough to stop even sunny spells, and from 3pm we may see light rain. At 7pm we may get a thunderstorm, but the odds are it may just be some moderately heavy rain. 8pm could see heavy rain, and the day will be it's warmest at 18° C. Tomorrow may see one hour as high as 18° C again. There will be two main features tomorrow - there should be sunny spells all day, and it could be very windy almost all day. In the middle of it all, perhaps 2pm, the wind could reach 45 mph.

  Yesterday seemed to be a good day, although the day didn't end as well as I hoped it would. I had been thinking of going to a gig, but I didn't, and that was partly because I was a bit tired after a very pleasant session of lots of fresh air (apart from occasional diesel fumes), and as hoped, seeing lots of vintage buses. All the details, plus loads of pictures of the old buses, and the usual notes about my night and this morning, can be seen and read in my complete archived page for today.

 08:27 BST

  Once again, today will be a lot like yesterday (statistics say that saying today will be like yesterday is usually more accurate than the weather forecast !). Having said all that, reality is not like the forecast at the moment. Much of the sky is quite dark, and there has been on and off drizzle since the small hours of today. It looks very damp outside ! As I write this it seems that a thunderstorm is more likely than the forecast sunny spells until 11am. The afternoon is definitely shown as featuring light rain until 5pm. By 7pm the chance of rain will have fallen to just 6%, and down to zero at 8pm. The afternoon will be 17° C again. Tomorrow may start bright and sunny, and that may include full on sunshine, but it all goes wrong after midday. By 2pm there will probably be some light rain to start with, but 4pm that light rain may change to heavy rain. For once, the "Weather Warning" is about wind instead of thunderstorms, and doesn't apply until Monday.

  Yesterday seemed anything but relaxed. Thanks to my "friend" Lee's talent for verbal diarrhoea when on the phone, my morning was ruined, and the knock on effect was to pretty much ruin the afternoon, although by the afternoon I had just about given up on the idea of doing anything useful. For what it is worth, my day is described, along with notes about my night and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

 08:30 BST

  Today could be a lot like yesterday. It has been, and seems to still be a sunny morning, but maybe it was degrade to just sunny spells soon. The afternoon could feature light rain, but the early evening should see sunny spells back. Of course the evenings are now getting quite short, and sunset will be just after 7pm tonight. The afternoon may only peak at just 17° C. Tonight may be no colder than last night. Tomorrow may start with some light rain - much of the night will also see light rain. I don't actually believe it, but from 8am tomorrow we could see sunny spells for the rest of the day, except for 4pm when there could be a light shower. Tomorrow high may only be 17° C again.

  Yesterday seemed a fairly relaxed day. I was expecting a parcel to be delivered by my regular postman, and I usually see him around midday, plus or minus half an hour. There was a possibility it might have been delivered by the Royal Mail van which is often seen earlier. I decided I would stay ready, but not washed, until the parcel arrived. It arrived almost when expected at about half past midday. The rest of my day, such as it was, is more fully described, along with the usual notes about my night and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

 08:18 BST

  The first thing to say about today's weather is that it definitely was 13° C earlier, and while the sky was not quite clear enough for full sunshine, we have had an almost non stop sunny spell - but only "almost". There is a small chance of rain up to 1pm, and from 2pm it is probable that it will rain. Even so, only light rain is forecast, and the chances are fairly low for some of those hours. From 6pm sunny spells may return, and continue until sunset. Today may be warmer, by a single degree, than yesterday. Today 18° C is forecast. Clear skies tonight may see temperatures plummet. Tomorrow is forecast to start at just 11° C. Tomorrow may see a mix of mainly sunshine and sunny spells, but like today there could be rain in the afternoon. Apart from 4pm when there is a 42% chance of rain, the other hours of rain are shown as low as 32%. Those hours may well be dry, but when tomorrow arrives all these predictions may be revised beyond recognition.

  Yesterday I had grand ideas of going out. That could have been a walk to The Jolly Farmers, or maybe just a walk to the shops or something, but there was a problem - I was expecting two deliveries, and felt the need to be in when they arrived. In fact I only got one delivery, delivered by Amazon themselves. With the weather being possibly bad, it seemed no great hardship to stay in the dry, but it was not as wet out as expected. I have done my best to describe my day, night, and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

 09:02 BST

  Today is going to be dull and wet. Thundery showers are forecast by the BBC, but not by The Met Office, and so are unlikely to happen. However, there could be some very heavy rain this afternoon. Drizzle was forecast for 6am, but I think it is only now (9am) that we are seeing some light rain, and then only by noticing a few drops on the window. Maybe today might not be as wet as expected ! This afternoon will only see about 17° C, and in the rain that could feel quite cold. Tomorrow may only see 17° C again, but there should be less rain. The day may feature some sunny spells and some light rain or drizzle.

  I managed to do a little more than nothing yesterday, but it was a close cut thing. One oddity was that despite not eating that carefully, I seemed to lose some weight yesterday. It may have been a bit more if I had gone out for a walk as I intended to do. I have described all I can remember about yesterday, including notes about my night and this morning, and it can all be read in my complete archived page for today.

 08:45 BST

  Today could be a lot like yesterday, but today there is a 15% chance of rain at 1pm, and just 9% at 2pm. The maximum temperature will be 20° C again. With a bright sunny, albeit rather cool start, it has the feeling of being a nice day. Tomorrow could be very wet, and although it may be the usual BBC fantasies, there are some thunderstorms predicted in the afternoon. The maximum temperature could be just 17° C.

  I am finding it quite difficult to remember much about yesterday. This could be because very little actually happened. However a few important things did happen, and I can describe them....I think. One very important thing was that I washed my hair and had a shower ! As much as I can remember is described in my complete archived page for today, and which also includes a few notes about my night, and this morning.

 08:30 BST

  This morning has started quite chilly, but it was, and so far continues to be, very sunny. From 11am we may only see sunny spells, but they should last through the afternoon. The last couple of hours of daylight may see full sunshine again. For all that, the afternoon high may only be 20° C.  Tomorrow may started even colder at just 11° C, but more sunshine and sunny spells should see the temperature rise to 20° C again. There will be a small chance of rain at 1 and 2pm, but the chances are that tomorrow will be dry like today.

  Yesterday was another day when not a lot happened. The main event for the day, the afternoon beer tasting session with Jodie, was cancelled because Jodie had had quite a night, the night before, and felt the need for a day of less (or no) beer. I had to amuse myself in the afternoon, but it was just an extension of the morning. All I did yesterday, which was not a lot, is all described, along with notes about my night and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

 09:00 BST

  This morning probably did start at the forecast 16° C and it was, and still is very sunny. The sunshine is forecast to last until 4pm when sunny spells will take over until sunset. This afternoon should reach a quite warm 24° C, and no rain at all is forecast for today.  Tomorrow may be dry, and there should be a lot of sunshine. Some hours may only be sunny spells. It may not be as warm as today, but a max of 20° C is still quite pleasant.

  I didn't really know what I was going to do yesterday, and I wrote that I thought I might go for a walk, even if just to Aldi. It was indeed the latter that I did. I didn't feel nearly as knackered as the previous time, but I still can't say it was easy enough to be enjoyable. That and the rest of my day, night, and this morning, are all described to some degree or another, in my complete archived page for today.

 08:54 BST

  Clear sky during the night (with the moon shining brightly as I closed the curtains) meant a cold start this morning. The forecast said 13° C at 7am, but it is now up to nearly 17° C thanks to strong sunshine. The forecast says strong sunshine all day long, and the temperature should rise to 21° C by 1pm, and stay there until it slowly starts to drop at 7pm, although it may no drop far. The latest update say the temperature should reach 22° C today. Tomorrow should be dry and sunny, and it could warm up to 23° C. Even Monday may not be too bad, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow to get a more accurate forecast.

  Being awake for a lot of the night before last had it's consequences yesterday. I didn't feel tired, or I didn't think I did, and yet I did an awful lot of snoozing. My day is more fully described in my complete archived page for today, and it included some brief notes about my night, and the morning of today.

 10:13 BST

  This morning has definitely started with bright sunshine, but it may only last until 11am. From 11am there could be sunny spells until sunset. The temperature is a bit cool as I write this, but may hit 21° C for one hour at 4pm. It should stay dry all day, and also tomorrow. There will be plenty of strong sunshine tomorrow, and the afternoon temperature could reach 21° C again, but it may last for 4 hours this time.

  This morning I have started writing extra late. The reason has it's roots in the early hours of the morning, but I can't seem to blame it on any one thing. Yesterday was not a great day, but it wasn't bad, and some of it was enjoyable. Even what I ate was nice, but maybe the home cooked late night burger was a bad idea....... My day is more fully described, along with notes about last night, and this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

 07:49 BST

  The forecast for today looks rather better than yesterday. If it turns out to be correct we may have some nice sunny spells from about 2pm onwards. This morning only light rain is shown (apart from the unlikely thunderstorm at 11am), but as I type this it is almost dark outside, and it is bucketing down ! The afternoon should se the temperature rise from 16° C now, to just 18° C - which is not much of a rise at all ! Even from 2pm when we should get sunny spells, there is still ass much as a 20% chance of rain. It is going to be a very cool night, and at 6am tomorrow morning it may only be 11° C. It should soon warm up because tomorrow may start with full sunshine, and be followed by sunny spells for the afternoon until sunset. No rain at all is forecast for tomorrow, and the afternoon should see a pretty fair 20° C. The day after, Saturday, should see much more sunshine, and the temperature rising to 21° C.

  I had a fairly good day yesterday, but I am not sure why I think that because some of yesterday was quite wretched. The highlight of the day was my visit to The Jolly Farmers for my usual two pints of Guinness, but the walk to and from there was very arduous - and very wet on the way home. All this, and more, is explained in my complete archived page for today, and which also includes notes about my sleep (and a dream), and notes about this morning.

  The forecast for today looks absolutely terrible ! The BBC weather forecast (above) shows loads of thundery showers, but the Met Office forecast shows no thundery showers despite still showing heavy rain. We are definitely going to get wet, and my new guttering will be having a severe test today, but maybe our ears will not be assaulted by thunderclaps. The temperature now is one degree higher than yesterday's peak, and today we may see the heady heights (sic) of 19° C. Tomorrow may start wet, but the afternoon may be dry with some sunny spells. Once again the temperature may peak at 19° C, but perhaps only for a single hour at 4pm.

  Yesterday was a day that was semi good and semi bad, but this morning it seems the baddest was not that bad, and maybe I don't feel so bad this morning. I did get two important jobs done, but one of them was the root of the worst bits. All these vague hints and stuff will be explained in my complete archived page for today, and which also includes notes about my night, and this morning.

  At the moment the sky only has a few fluffy clouds, and most of the sky (I can see as I write this) is blue. We have the full sunshine that was supposed to finish after 7am. At this time (almost 9am) it should be getting very cloudy, and in the next hour it could rain, but somehow that doesn't seem likely, and at 10am when the first rain is shown, there is only a 32% chance of rain. All the rain shown on the weather chart is either light rain or drizzle. Unfortunately the rain clouds will block most sunshine, and today the maximum temperature may only be 17° C. Tomorrow may be very wet, and the BBC have thrown in some of their favourites - thunderstorms. Tomorrow's temperature may be back to peak at 19° C.

  Yesterday was quite a good day for one unexpected reason. Without that reason it may have been another day when I could hardly bother to do anything. I didn't seem to feel all that bad yesterday, but I did feel a bit bad, and that was enough to dampen my enthusiasm for almost everything. All this is explained and expanded on in my complete archived page for today.

 09:25 BST

  Quite a lot of rain is forecast for today, but there may also be some sunny spells between showers. Once again the temperature may peak at 19° C.

  I did hardly anything yesterday - again ! I was going to go to Aldi, but ended up only going to Poundstretcher. One problem is that I did not feel all that good, and I am not sure why. I did buy some useful things from Poundstretcher, and that included some things I would have bought from Aldi.

  At this point I have to admit that I can't remember all the stuff I was going to write, and although I have timed this for 09:25 BST, I am actually writing this at just gone 5:30pm. The reason was that I somehow managed to mess up the formatting of this page, and the more I tried to correct it, the worse it became. I had to scrap everything, and start again by editing the last page that saved OK.

  The significant thing about yesterday was it was another Sunday beer tasting session with Jodie. Prior to that I had to do some tidying up, and clean myself as well. Once clean I could at least go to Poundstretcher. The most significant thing I bought there was two 1.5 litre bottles of Diet Coke. I half expected them to be well past their use by date, but they still had a few months on the clock. I still expected then to not taste right, or to have gone flat, but the one bottle I opened was perfect.

  Jodie arrived at about the right time, which was off considering it was the last Sunday of the month, and I knew she would divert to go to the once a month Catford Food Market - now actually held in Lewisham - at least I think it was. I do know that Jodie had been to Lewisham to get some shopping. She almost caught me out by arriving when she did - I though I probably had at least an extra half hour to get ready.

  It was not a good drinking session. Jodie was stuck to her phone much of the time, endlessly scrolling though Instagram or something, looking for cat videos. It made for a very lonely existence for me.  My original plan was to pace my drinking by fitting in a lot of chilled water drinking. I did do some of that, but I squeezed in a few extra beers as well, although not enough to get very drunk, and carried away when it came to having dinner.

  I needed to, and almost managed to eat carefully at dinner time because in the early afternoon I did have a few bad things - things like very sweet flapjacks.  It was sort of nice when Jodie went home, and I could return to solo mode, amusing myself without having to try and include Jodie. My dinner was actually fairly simple if a Tesco chicken tikka masala ready meal can be called "fairly simple" and possibly not too unhealthy.

  My evening was nothing exciting. I watched some TV, but on a Sunday it was not the usual Star Treks etcetera. Much of my viewing was more repeats of The Simpsons. I really can't remember when I went to bed, but I seem to think I fell asleep very quickly. I also think I slept rather well, although I do remember getting up to have several large pees in the night, and also when I finally got up.

  A little while after getting up, but before I had breakfast, I managed to have a decent poo, and then I weighed myself. I was happy to see that I had only gained 200gm since the morning before. I expected it to be a lot more - particularly after one rather sweet and sticky beer. Some of the large amounts of pee I passed helped keep my weight down, but suggested that my blood glucose could be running out of control.

  When I checked my blood glucose it was a bit high, but not terribly so. It was very close to being acceptable. The Contour meter read 8.8mmol/l. Actually, that is too close to 9.0mmol/l where bad things can start to happen (although the official red line is 10.0mmol/l. The GlucoRX meter also read 8.8mmol/l. Now we have started September my "official" third meter is the GlucoFix meter. It read 8.4mmol/l - a little bit better.

  I still didn't feel very good this morning. Before I could do anything I had to finish washing a pair of shorts, and a pair of lounge pants that were soaking in detergent in a big bucket in the bath this morning. It took some time before I could bring myself to tackle that job, but I did it in the end. With that done I could have a shower, and finally go shopping in Aldi, but I couldn't find the enthusiasm to do that this time either.

  I decided that I would have another very lazy day....or more accurately I didn't exactly decide that - my body seemed to decide for me. The flaw in that idea is that I couldn't seem to relax as much as I hope, and that hope was mainly to have some nice snoozes. At some point I wondered if the reason I was feeling so rough was that I was heading for something like 'flu. It was at this point that I crashed, and ruined the early version of this page by copying a temperature from my spreadsheet of my body temperature readings. I wanted to say my temperature was only 36.2° C, and then everything went mad ! This time I remembered to "paste without formatting", and it worked with no disaster.

  I don't seem to feel so bad today, and I seem to feel a bit better when writing this rather later version of this page. There is more I could write about today, but I think I'll stick to tradition and write about it tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow, and will feel extra keen to finally go shopping in Aldi (fingers crossed).
