This morning is nice and bright. The sky is currently blue to the south, but there are some fluffy clouds to the north. There do seem to be some darker clouds just above the visible horizon to the north. The forecast says sunny spells, and maybe even an hour of full sunshine until 3pm when there is a mere 38% of rain. at 4pm the chance goes up to 58%, and so it probably will rain, but I have doubts it will be a thunderstorm, although it could happen. 5 and 6pm show a 55 and 54% chance of light rain. After that it should be dry, but dull until nightfall. Tomorrow is forecast to be very wet with a chance of a lot of thundery showers according to the BBC (Meteo) forecast, and the Met Office forecast scales that down to mainly light rain with no thunderstorms.

  Yesterday was, as I predicted in the morning, a day of rest. I wondered if I might end up doing something, but I didn't. I can sum up yesterday as reading, snoozing and eating, plus some TV watching.

  There is not a lot to add to that brief précis of yesterday. My lunch was a few slices of pizza, and my dinner was a couple more slices of pizza, but I also had a couple of nectarines plus a small portion of ice cream. One other thing I did yesterday was a bit of research on the internet. The main result of it is that I have a desire to spend a few hours at Woodgrange Park station.

  Woodgrange Station is on the "Goblin line" (Gospel Oak to Barking line). It now has one of the new fangled names that London Overground have given to all their Overground services. It is probably the washing line or something (I thought I had better check, and it seems it is really the Suffragette line). What makes it interesting is that it is on a small section of railway that links the C2C lines, which includes Tilbury Docks, to The Great Eastern line (which has links to the north and other places). The upshot is that there seems to be as many as several freight trains an hour passing through, and so is a good place for some rail photography.

  After I finished watching TV last night, which was unusually early at about 9pm, I went to be where I read for maybe half an hour. I seemed to feel quite sleepy, and while I can't be sure, I think I had turned the light out before 10pm, and I fell asleep very quickly. I had a most uneventful night. I think I must have got up to go for a pee at least once, and I do remember having a dream.

  The only problem in describing my dream is that I seem to only remember a few seconds of it, and I can't add context to it. The bit I remember was repairing a low voltage cable that had a woven cloth cover. Such cables were standard on telephone switchboards, and in the course of my career I had much practice in using such cable. The trick is knowing how to cut the outer cover cleanly to get at the wires inside. In the dream I had to join two cables (for some unremembered reason). One other technician had tried and made a mess of it. I fell back on previous experience and did it neatly.

  I felt reluctant to get up this morning, and like many recent mornings I got up to have a pee as late as 6am, and then went back to bed. It may have been a couple of hours later that I got up and had another pee, and this time I decided to stay up. It was maybe half an hour later that I went to the toilet again, and this time I had another small pee, but also a poo. I do wonder if it was enough, and as I sit here typing my guts are gurgling. Maybe there is more on the way.

  After that poo and small pee I weighed myself again, and this time I was relatively happy to see I had only gained 200gm sice yesterday morning. I expected it to be more after eating all the pizza. My blood glucose was considerably better this morning. I got two readings of 7.4mmol/l, which is very good, and one reading of 8.3mmol/l, which was disappointing, although not that bad. That gave an average of 7.7mmol/l. That is not the lowest this month, but is still very acceptable.

  I had great plans/fantasies that I would go out with a camera to do some rail photography, and my main destination would be the previously mentioned Woodgrange Park station. Right now I do not feel like going out. As I mentioned 2 paragraphs ago, my guts seem to be in a state of flux despite seemingly doing an adequate poo this morning. The other negative thing is that it seems to be getting dull as I write this, and while it probably won't rain for some time, it feels like it could rain. Both the BBC and Met Office now agree that it will not rain until 4pm, and that there is no chance of thundery showers now. I think this probably means it will snow of something. Maybe I might take a wander in the park, or maybe I may do some rail photography at Catford Bridge. Maybe I will stay in and do some housework. The kitchen needs some work to do a backlog of washing up, and some smelly old food being put in the garden waste bin to turn it into compost.

   I think I'll have a lie down, and probably a snooze, and consider all these things more before reaching some sort of decision.
