The forecast said there would be some light rain this morning, and indeed there was. It seemed like there may have been a bit more rain before when I first saw raindrops on my bedroom window. It has stopped now....or maybe that might be for now because it is still very dull outside.  No further rain is shown in the forecast until 3am tomorrow morning but the air still smells of rain. It was not a very cool night, and it is currently 22° C.  This afternoon may only reach 24° C, and although probably very dull, it is still t-shirt and shorts weather. Tomorrow may start with light showers again, and there could be more in the early evening. Late tomorrow morning could se a few sunny spells, and the afternoon may see 23° C.

  Yesterday was yet another day where very little happened, or perhaps that should say nothing big happened, but a few small things did happen.

  One of the small things to happen is that after I had a shower (which I guess is yet another thing that happened) I put my favourite pair of "being very lazy" shorts in to soak in detergent. As such it didn't matter that they were starting to get smelly because I don't wear them in company, but I still thought it would be good to give them a wash. Of course, as happens all too frequently, they are still sitting in their big bucket of detergent this morning.

  I'll condense the next two things to just one thing that happened yesterday - I went shopping to two shops. First of all I went to Savers, where I topped up my vitamins and shower gel etc. Then I went to Tesco where I seemed to buy a lot of reduced price sandwiches, and some other stuff including 4 two litre bottles of Diet Coke. Oh, one other ting I bought from Savers was a two half litre bottles of water. I bought them because they had proper screw tops, and thus easier to refill.

  It all added up to quite a weight to carry home. It is not as long as the arduous journey from Aldi, even if it is only a minute or two shorter, but it still seemed easier. The interesting thing is that I was wearing my Adidas green "court" trainers, and for once they seemed so comfortable that I forgot I was wearing them. I had always hoped that once worn in they would become very comfortable. The odd thing is that my other Adidas trainers which started off very comfortable are now less comfortable despite showing no obvious signs of wear. I guess it is my feet that are being moulded to the shape of the trainers.

  Once home I ran out of any ideas of stuff to do that didn't involve eating and reading. I hadn't realised that it was so late when I went out, and it was around 3pm that I had my lunch of several packs of sandwiches. I then laid down, and started reading. At some point I started playing with my camera, but I can't think what I was doing apart from checking some of my lens filters. I have to admit that most of my lens filters are hardly ever used. Most are for 58mm lenses (the size of the screw thread at the front of lens were the filters are screwed on), but some were 52mm filters. I think I mostly just confirmed that some of my Nikon lenses used 52mm filters. I didn't do anything to actually test them. Many need very good lighting, and preferably good daylight, but much of yesterday was too dull.

  Although I had lunch so late in the afternoon, I still seemed to strongly want my dinner at 6pm as usual. I had a Tesco Paella ready meal. They are quite tasty, and improved with a good splash of hot pepper sauce. For a dessert I had some expensive Ben & Jerry's ice cream. I am very wary of this American (made or recipe) ice cream because of it's sugar content. It was orange chocolate flavour, and had to be tried. It was nice-ish, but actually disappointing. The orange flavoured chocolate was so hard that the unwary could break a tooth on it. Maybe it would have been better if I had left it out of the freezer for long enough that it was within a tenth of a degree of melting.

  There is not much to say about the evening. It was some TV as usual, then early to bed so I could spend a bit of time reading. It felt a bit warm and sticky so I ended up falling asleep uncovered, and with the fan blowing gently at me - just the same as the last 5, 10, 15, more ? nights.

  I don't remember much about the night. I think I may have woken up because I was feeling a bit too cool. I turned the fan off, and I may have gone for a pee, but it was all very dream like. It was the closest to a dream that I remember. The next time I woke (or remember waking) was at around 5am. I saw raindrops on my bedroom window, and next door's car looked like it had seen quite a sprinkle of rain. Later on I noted a small puddle on next door's kitchen extension roof.

  It seemed too early to get up, and after a pee I went back to bed, and this time I did pull the duvet over at least one leg (!). I laid in bed for at least an hour, and I may have drifted off to sleep once or twice - in fact I am sure I did because there are gaps in my memory - but I think I was mostly awake before getting up a little after 7am. I needed a small pee, and I thought I needed a poo, but the latter was just wind (and nothing has happened since).

  My weight has actually gone up by 300gm this morning, but that is without passing the sort of poo I feel sure I ought to pass, although I admit I don't feel uncomfortable. My blood glucose was good this morning - particularly after eating with no care yesterday. The average of all three readings was 7.7mmol/l. and all three readings were colour coded with light green on my spreadsheet. That showed they all started with a seven.

  I have one special plan this morning, and it is to finish washing the pair of khaki shorts that have been soaking since after my shower yesterday. Once they are out of the bath tub (or the bucket they are in is out of the bath) I can have a shower, and maybe wash my hair. After that....I have no idea. After all the fiercely hot and sunny days I was sort of looking forward to a cooler day, but maybe not a very dull day. I may go for a walk around the park, but in reality I doubt I will. I really don't know what I will do apart from a lot of reading today, but something could happen that could change my day, but what ever it is will be a surprise.
