Today is
going to be very similar to
yesterday. Strong sunshine in the
morning, but the afternoon may
only see sunny spells. The last
hours of daylight may feature
clear skies and full sunshine
again. The clear skies will give
another fresh feeling night, and
after 26° C in the afternoon, that
may feel nice. Tomorrow may start
at 17° C at 6am, but full sunshine
will warm things up quite quickly,
and the full sunshine should last
until 3pm. By then the temperature
may reach a sizzling 30° C. Once
the sun sets it wont cool down
that much, and tomorrow night, and
the early hours of the next day
may still be a sticky 20° C
Yesterday was dominated by
Petts Wood calling. I got there
before the first band were on
stage, and before the Mayor of
Bromley had got up on stage to
start the proceedings.
Very briefly, because it is
getting late, and I haven't even
got my cameras out of my special
ruck sack to see what sort of
pictures I took, I can say I had a
good time. There were a couple of
bands I didn't care for. One was a
Chas And Dave tribute act. I've
seen them before, and I can't
stand that music, and so went to
the pub for a single pint of
Guinness. The other band I missed
because I headed for home, was a
Queen tribute act. I didn't fancy
seeing them. Queen did do some
great songs on the first couple of
albums, but I lost interest after
that.
I managed to stay for about
8 hours on this occasion - at
least an hour longer than I did
the previous Saturday at Chatt
Fest. This time I was wearing my
new straw Panama hat, and it
stopped my head getting frazzled
in the sunshine. I also wore my
other pair of Adidas trainers, and
I hoped they would be more
comfortable than the pair I wore
last Saturday, but sadly not much.
At least I was not in agony, but
my feet were still pretty sore. To
make matters worse, although it
was probably just for the last bit
of station to home, that my legs
and ankles were hurting as well.
Like last Saturday, I
bought 3 pieces of fried chicken,
and a single portion of "fries" on
my way home, and although I did
have some food at Petts Wood
Calling, it was still a joy to
tuck into that chicken and chips
when I got home. I watched a bit
of TV while I ate, and a bit more
after, but I felt very fatigued -
so much so that I tried to write
something and my spells wandered
off into fantasy land. I feel sure
I went to bed by at least 10pm and
maybe earlier. I laid my head down
on the pillow, and assorted aches
and stuff meant that it didn't
seem like I would get to sleep.
In fact I doubt I was awake
for more than 5 minutes. I woke up
at about 2.30am for a pee, but I
was soon fast asleep again. Later
on, around 7am (I think) I had one
of those weird sort of morning
where I stayed in bed half awake
and half asleep. I guess it
was gone 8am when I finally got up
and stayed up - quite late for me.
Despite eating sandwiches and
3 or more KitKat bars, plus
the fried chicken, my weight this
morning was the same as yesterday
morning. My blood glucose was
quite pleasing. The average of the
three meters was 8.5mmol/l - that
used to be my unofficial target
until I had a period when I made
7.5mmol/l my target, but it has
been a long time since I have
managed that.
As of this moment I have
two cameras crammed with pictures
taken yesterday, and the cameras
are still in my camera carrying
ruck sack. It would be good to
make a start at all teh selecting
and editing of the pictures taken
of the 7 bands I watched. I may
easily have taken 50 snaps or more
of each band on my main camera,
and possibly the same again on my
spare camera. I can imagine that I
will be spending the next week
photo editing, but today should be
a beer tasting session with Jodie
late this afternoon. If I can I
might get in a visit to Tesco
today.
