Today
has started out feeling slightly
chilly, but the sky is mostly
clear, and the sun is shining. It
may continue to shine until 3pm
when we may only get sunny spells.
This afternoon may only see 25° C,
but that is pleasantly warm. It
looks like tonight will be another
cold night with the temperature
dropping to 16° C by 4am, but that
may be the lowest it goes.
Tomorrow is predicted to be
similar to today - full sunshine
until mid morning, and then a mix
of full sunshine and mainly sunny
spells. The afternoon may be a
little warmer than today, peaking
at 26° C.
Yesterday was another day
where not a lot happened. Stuff
might have happened, although I am
not sure what, if I hadn't been
waiting in for a parcel delivery
from Amazon.
Two things I was going to
do was to have a shower, and go
shopping in Tesco, but as usual I
was paranoid about missing the
Amazon delivery. It is probably no
more than one time in 50 that
Amazon will deliver in the very
early afternoon (and I think the
once managed a delivery before
midday, but that was so rare it
might have even been a
hallucination.
The delivery actually
happened at about 4.30pm, and it
was two new Panama hats. I was not
sure which of several I liked, and
so I bought two. I think the first
I tried on seemed good enough to
wear today at Petts Wood calling
if the sun is beating down like it
did at last Saturday's Chattfest.
I do not want my head to be
blistered again like it was last
Saturday.
I must admit, having very
rarely worn a hat, and when I did
it was a Youngs Triple A beer
baseball style hat, I was not sure
what size I wanted. I measure
around my head just above my ears,
and ordered the nearest size to
that. As shown in the picture, I
can wear the hat, but I wonder if
it might have been better if it
was a
tiny bit bigger. On
the other hand, being a bit tight
is probably a good thing to stop
the wind blowing it off my head.
I'll admit that this hat
(and the spare I bought) have got
me thinking. If it seems OK
wearing a hat, I might consider a
different sort of hat for winter.
Maybe something like a cowboy hat,
although there are many shapes and
sizes that could be described as a
cowboy hat. I don't actually want
to look like a cowboy, but a semi
wide brim may be good to keep the
low in the sky sun out of my eyes,
and maybe it might help keep my
ears warm in frosty, sleety, and
snowy weather. Before making any
decisions I'll see how I get on
with this hat first.
I am just trying to think
what to add about what happened
yesterday, or today as I actually
write this for "publication"
tomorrow. It makes keeping track
of the tenses, past, present and
future, tricky - particularly as I
feeling tired and hope to be fast
asleep in bed before too long.
I think the most important
thing about yesterday (Friday) is
not what I did, but what I didn't
do. I most definitely wanted to go
shopping for some supplies - a few
of which would have been to take
to Petts Wood Calling to keep me
going through a long day. I would
probably have got a few small, but
high calorie, and probably high
sugar things - maybe some things
like Caramel bars. I could still
have gone to Tesco after my hats
were delivered, but maybe all the
waiting had knocked the enthusiasm
out of me.
I think I plan to leave a
bit earlier to get my train, and
go to the Sainsbury's local store
by Catford station. They should
have all I need for during the
day. Maybe I will get some fried
chicken and chips for when I get
home.
I am actually writing most
of this on Friday night, and it is
because I may not have much time
to write in the morning. My aim is
to write about the weather, and
then finish. Then I can get ready
to get the train to Shortlands
station where I get off the train
and wait about 4 minutes for the
next train to Petts Wood station.
I aim to get there at about midday
so I can be ready to watch and
take snaps of the first band on at
12:30.
I think I have probably
written enough about yesterday,
and my plans for today. All I have
to do in the morning is do the
weather forecast stuff, and then I
can upload this to my server.
