Right now the sky is blue, and the forecast says it will be clear blue all day, and we will frazzle under full sunshine from dawn to dusk. This afternoon could see 33° C. Tomorrow could start with full sunshine, but by 10am it may only be sunny spells. From 2pm it may be dull, dull but quite warm Tomorrow afternoon may be cooler than today, but 27° C could still be rather sweaty if the humidity is high.

  Yesterday was another day dominated by Chattfest photo editing, but I did do some other stuff too.

  I must admit I am having a hard time remembering what else I did do yesterday. I know I went shopping, and in turn that meant I made some bad, but tasty, eating decisions. Before going shopping I had a shower, but with the top of my head still being sore yesterday (although probably OK this morning) I didn't feel brave enough to wash my hair. maybe I'll do that today.

  I bought a selection of sandwiches in Tesco, all from the reduced price shelf. A few I had for lunch, and a couple more I stored in the fridge to eat for lunch today. I also bought two tubs of different flavoured ice creams. Of course, after a short ice cream famine, I had to try both flavours, and I seemed to have eaten too big a portion of the plain vanilla ice cream. One noteworthy thing is that the sugar content of the "triple chocolate" ice cream, while high, was shown as lower than many of the ice creams in the freezer cabinet in Tesco. (I do check these things before buying - sometimes).

  I made fairly good progress doing my photo editing yesterday, and I only have one more band to consider. Fortunately it was a band who were not very visual. The singer hardly moved off the same spot. Plus, it was the last band I saw, and I was keen to start heading home. The result was that I took less pictures of them than any other band - although I still took 64 snaps of them. Many will be almost duplicates, and some will be rubbish. I think I'll aim at about 10 photos for their photo album. What may take some time today is that I still have loads of unused pictures of The Life Of Brian Band. In fact I may not have used a single one of the 253 (yes, two hundred and fifty three [digital] photos) taken on my big Nikon D610 camera. The ones I have used so far were on the Cannon 600D camera because I was testing that camera, and wanted to see how it fared for gig photography using the new (secondhand) Sigma 24 to 70mm lens).

  Maybe today I will only do the Emma And The invaders photos, and leave the Life Of Brian until tomorrow, but back to yesterday.....what else did I do apart from shopping, eating, and photo editing ? I think the only answer is snoozing. I seem to recall having one of those long snoozes where it is not always obvious that you have been asleep until you see how far the clock has moved on.

  Oh, there was one other thing I remember doing, and it was some washing up and cleaning in the kitchen. There was quite a bit of stuff in the sink, and although I washed some of it, I was put off doing more because the one major item is a baking tray and a grill. Both are going to need a lot of fierce scrubbing. Fortunately the baking tray has soaked in detergent and water, and some of the grease is just rinsing off. It may not be the terrible job I though it would be when I do it properly, although I think the grill is going to need some tricky scrubbing.

  It might have been handy to have had that tray and grill for when I prepared my dinner. I wanted to roast the ready roasted chicken I had bought from the reduced price shelf in Tesco. A good hot grilling would kill any bugs it might have picked up, and so (I hope) extend it's shelf life. I did the grilling on another pan lined with foil. I only ate about a quarter of it with some baked beans for my dinner. I'll do something similar for dinner tonight. That should still leave a lot of chicken I could use in a stew - except it is not really hot stew weather at the moment. Maybe the fox is going to get a big treat soon.

   One thing I almost forgot that I did yesterday was playing the waiting game again. I was expecting a delivery by Amazon. It was more test strips for one of my other blood glucose meters. First they said the delivery would be between 4:15pm and 8:15pm, but it then changed to between 7:15pm and 10pm !!!!! Luckily it was actually delivered at just before 7pm, and so the first estimate was closer to correct.

  I did my last bit of photo editing during commercial breaks while watching some TV last night. I was more than happy that my Amazon delivery had taken place earlier, because I am not sure I could have stayed awake until 10pm last night. I can't actually remember when I turned the TV off, and went to bed, but I think it was probably about 10pm. I can't even remember if I brushed my teeth before going to bed, but I hope I did, and I probably did it without even thinking about it. My best guess is that I was fast asleep 1 second before my head hit the pillow.

  I can't really remember anything definite about my sleep. I may not have got up to pee, but that seems unlikely. I think I had a dream, but not a single bit of it can be found in my memory. I suppose it could have been a dream when I thought I woke up at about 5.30am and went for a pee, but then decided it was too early, and went back to bed. I think it may have been getting close to 8am when I got up properly.

  I had a pee, and I managed to have a poo as well. Neither did any good in the way I would have liked them to. I got on the scales and found my weight was unchanged since yesterday morning. I guess after all I ate yesterday, and maybe what I ate, meant weight loss was unlikely.

  The two portions of ice cream I had did the expected to my blood glucose this morning - it was a bit high ! It was one of those morning where my blood glucose meters gave very different readings. I got 8.8mmol/l (not too bad), 9.3mmol/l (higher than desirable) and 10.2mmol/l (definitely too high, and over the red line to just inside the danger zone).

  I thought about going out for a walk today, but I am now thinking along the lines that it is too hot today, and maybe staying in the shade until my sunburnt head had recovered more, would be the sensible thing to do. No exercise means I somehow have to exercise stricter control on my diet. On the plus side, it gives me more time to snooze, and more time to finish the photo editing I want to do.
  I had intended to show more pictures today, but time seems to be slipping past too quickly, and so just three pictures of The Viagra Fools playing at Chattfest last Saturday.
  The lead singer is the size of Meatloaf, and wears a dog collar like a vicar - which I am guessing he is not....but could be !
  I wonder if he gets his jeans from the same place I used to get mine ?
