This morning will see non stop sunshine until midday, and then a few hours of sunny spells before the full sunshine returns until the sun set. It may only take the temperature up to a maximum of 27° C. From about midnight it will get a bit cloudy, and tomorrow will only see sunny spells until 4pm when we may see the return of non stop sunshine until sunset. Today and tomorrow will be completely dry, although at 3pm today the chance of rain will rise from zero to a completely ignorable 6% !

  Yesterday was one of those days where I could be as busy as I wanted to be, and although I wasn't always busy, I seemed to find little time to rest. My scales say I must have spent the day eating, while memory is that I spent a lot of the day photo editing.

  One event yesterday was one of those annoying times when I had to be on high alert for a parcel delivery. In fact I had two parcel deliveries. The first was early enough to be mentioned yesterday. It was Royal Mail delivering my third Panama hat. As I think I mentioned yesterday, I ordered it because it seemed like it might be better quality, and indeed it does seem better in some ways. If this coming Saturday is hot and sunny I may give it a test when I go to Bromley to take pictures of two more bands performing at a 2 band, outdoor, not quite festival.

  My second delivery was after 8pm, and the estimated delivery time had already been changed twice to show it arriving later than first estimated. It was just two items from China (aliexpress.com). One was a 64GB USB thumb drive. I think I ordered that because it was on special offer if bought with other stuff. I have yet to check it to make sure it really is 64GB, and not some dodgy second rate drive whose firmware is fiddled with to make it look much bigger that it really is.  It is branded Kingston, who do make good memory products, and is in original packaging, albeit mostly written in Chinese ! It seems like it had a fair chance of being good.

  The other item was something I have been looking forward to. It is a wireless charging coil for a mobile phone. It acts as one half of a transformer, and the other half is in the phone. The only downside is that I need to take my Huawei phone out of it's protective case, but it does work, and seems to charge the phone quite quickly. For some reason I thought it was my Honor phone that supported wireless charging, and not the Huawei, but it seems the Honor does not have the facility.

  I can't say I was at it all day long, and definitely not non stop, but I went through a very big pile of (digital) photos, and selected and edited the best. In fact I realise I must have done the photos of two bands I photographed at Petts Wood Calling. I think I'll skip the second band and show photos of the third band on the stage. They were Zoe And The Bandits. They made a very pleasant noise, and Zoe is a bit sexy !
  Not sexy (to my eyes) but this guitarist is one of Zoe's bandits.
  This is Zoe, and in close up she is not a spring chicken, but still very pleasant on the eye, and on the ear - which is the important bit.
  Using the wide angle lens and everyone minus the drummer shown.
  Another semi close up of Zoe looking rather happy as she sings.
  The trouble with the guitarist is that he was standing on part of the stage that made it so easy to get a good snap of him.
  Another snap of Zoe showing her cowboy boots.
  This is where I started feeling pervy. As Zoe did a kick you could almost see just a tantalising glimpse of thigh.
  Another kick and a bit closer to a show of nice looking thigh.
  In that very short skirt......well, maybe I'll come out of pervert mode now, and concentrate on the rest of my day.

  I can't remember what I had for lunch, but I know I snacked a bit more than was good for me. My dinner was a couple of Tesco "Finest" quarter pounder burgers. They were nice, particularly with some mustard and tomato sauce, and served with "no added sugar" baked beans. I then demolished a tub of plain vanilla ice cream. I had already eaten over half the tub as a couple or more servings, and in theory I had at least two servings left, but I demolished the whole lot. It didn't have the consequences I expected.

  As usual, I relaxed for a bit in the evening watching some TV, but turned that off at 10pm and went to bed. I was originally think I might read for a bit, but I seemed so tired that I switched off the light, and maybe in less than 10 minutes I was in a deep sleep. I can't seem to remember much about my sleep. I think the next thing I remember was getting up at about 6am for a pee. I felt that maybe a bit more sleep might be nice, and although it felt like I was dipping in and out of sleep, it was almost 8am when I got up again.

  I went to the toilet again, and this time I had a poo. After that I weighed myself, and was not happy with what I saw. I had gained another 300gm since the rather larger increase yesterday. My main meals were mostly safe, and I guess I must have eaten more snacks than I realised (something that is easy to do when concentrating for longish periods while photo editing), and the excess ice cream wouldn't have helped.

  The odd thing is that my blood glucose was both good and bad. I don't know if it was some sort of contamination, or maybe even a faulty test strip, but my first reading was a rather high 9.1mmol/l. The second was an acceptable 8.3mmol/l, and the third reading was a rather good 7.4mmol/l. That gave an average of 8.27mmol/l - actually one of my lowest readings over this and last month.

  My increase in weight means I an fasting instead of having breakfast, and for lunch I will try and stick to cheese on rice crackers, although that is really low sugar rather than low calorie food. I will try not to be too tempted by any snacks, but I will probably have some today, depending on what I am doing - which ought to be a lot more photo editing. I also have some half finished laundry to finish. It needs one more rinse and then fabric conditioner.

  I am considering a walk in the park today - nothing exotic, maybe just home to Ladywell and back by the quickest route. I want to test wearing one of my Panama sun hats while walking instead of just at a festival. Maybe I also want to go and get some shopping, but there is a fly in the ointment. I think I am expecting another package from China today. Tomorrow I think I am expecting my new camera to be delivered. If it arrived early enough I may take that for a walk in the park, but that will be tomorrow, and I can't really predict anything I do more than 10 hours into the future !
