Once again mist was forecast, and this morning it is very misty. It should lift in a few hours to reveal a fairly grey day. There could be some sunny spells after 4pm, and 4pm could see the temperature reach it's peak today of 21° C again. It should be a a dry day, and the night will not get so cool as recent nights. At 1am it will only fall to 16° C, and probably no lower for much of the small hours, but by 6am tomorrow morning it could be down to 15° C. Tomorrow looks to be a wet day, and the morning may start with drizzle. The rest of the day will see mostly light rain, but there could be the odd hour with some heavier rain. Tomorrow afternoon may only see 15° C, and by 3pm it could be down to just 14° C. By 3am on the day after tomorrow, it could be down to just 9° C. It can be long until the first morning frost.

  Yesterday was another sort of bland day. Nothing of any great significance happened. I had thought about going out for a walk, or even to do some rail photography, but I didn't feel up to it. I am not sure if I was physically up to it, or mentally up to it. It was probably a mix of both, and each making the other worse.

  It was another day where I looked for small things to do. Yesterday I decided it was time to top up the batteries in some of my bluetooth devices. That included a set of headphones, and a pair of switchable transmit or receive Bluetooth audio devices. None of those things gets any regular use, and are rarely of any great use, and yet occasionally handy to have. It is worth keeping the batteries charged up because if they run down too far they get to the point where they can never be recharged again.

  I guess there was one important, but silly thing I did yesterday. I learned to eat crisps with a spoon, except they were not crisps. They were savoury ball of puffed wheat (or corn, or something). They were not wonderful, but still a pleasant snack that is moderately low sugar and stuff. The problem is that they are a bit greasy, and very dusty - greasy dust. Being round they lend themselves to be eaten with a spoon. I tried it and it worked well - and no greasy fingers !

  On the subject of food, I made a token attempt at eating carefully yesterday. Ideally I should have skipped breakfast or lunch. I didn't leave the house yesterday, and so I was hardly "burning the calories". My lunch was a couple of rolls that were just on the point of going stale, and so there was a very good reason to eat them as soon as possible. I filled two of them with ham and ready sliced spicy cheese, and they were fairly enjoyable.

  For dinner I decided I would cook some beef burgers that had been in the fridge long enough to have just passed their use by date. I grilled the whole pack of 4, and when dinner time came around I made two burgers with cheese in a bun (actually a semi crusty roll). I sometime thought that the burgers had an occasional slightly odd taste, but I kept my fingers crossed, and I haven't suffered any food poisoning. I followed those two burgers with a couple of plums and some ice cream.

  I must admit that all I ate yesterday does not sound that healthy, or at all healthy, but it filled a gap, and I went to bed, after the usual TV and some reading, feeling satisfied. I am unsure when I went to sleep, but I feel sure it was not later than 11pm, and could have been as much as an hour earlier.  My sleep seemed pretty good, and I remember very little except one dream, but as I try and recall that dream I realise I can't even remember where it was set.

  This morning I was disappointed to realise I had not lost any weight, but had gained some. I actually gained 200gm. I had looked at the full amount of kilograms and I thought I had lost a whole kilogram until I checked my record of weights. That is when I found I had put on 200gm. However, as yet I have not had a put. I am sure I should need one, but as yet I haven't felt any need to go.......

......... Of course, having written that, I got a very subtle hint that maybe it was time to visit the toilet again. I did indeed pass a single, but fair sized poo, and I had a pee. By this time I had had my breakfast of instant noodles. My weight after my my poo and pee was exactly the same as before I ate. By some twisted, highly unreliable, logic, I think this means that if I had weighed myself before eating, but after the poo and pee, I would have seen that I had lost around 100gm since yesterday morning.....maybe.

  My blood glucose was not a lot different to yesterday, 7.83 instead of 7.63 mmol/l. What ever I ate yesterday, was good for my blood glucose. This morning I took my final dose of Ozempic from my current injector. I see the nurse Wednesday of next week, and she will prescribe my next dose up of Ozempic. I may not get the injector until the day after that, and I guess I'll have to be a bit careful with what I eat next week. On the other hand, the nurse did say she had put the existing dose on repeat, and if I ran out before the next dose is due I could ask for a repeat prescription, but I think I'll wait.

  Once again my blood pressure is very good. It is 117/81 and my heart rate is 87. As I discovered yesterday, the heart rate for a 71 year old should be between 60 and 100 bpm, and so I am close to the middle of that. After being told by a doctor at the Ambulatory Care Centre that on the wards they expect blood glucose to be between 8 and 14mmol/l, I think I can tell the nurse, next week, that I am fit and healthy, even if I don't feel that way.

  I have no idea what I am going to do today. Once again I should get out for a walk, but, hmmmmm, maybe I don't feel so keen for it again. Not only that, but the outside temperature is around 16° . That is a bit cool for no coat, but would be too warm with a coat on.....possibly. I guess I should try it before condemning it. What I might, and maybe ought to do, is a bit of laundry. If I put my mind to it I may finish it in time to leave the bath clear for a shower tomorrow morning !
