As I write this (actually at 9.30am) it is bone dry outside, but I must admit the sky does look grey and threatening. Somehow I find the idea of thundery showers, of which only one is shown despite it being a headline feature, seems unlikely. At some point there is almost certainly going to be rain, and once it starts it might continue through to 8pm when the sun may come out. The afternoon temperature may just be  17° C. Tomorrow could start with full sunshine. The rest of the day may feature some random sunny spells, and mostly in the first half of the day, some showers. Late tomorrow afternoon may see the temperature reach 17° C for a short while, but much of the day will be a fair bit cooler.
 
  Yesterday may have been dry, which could have been good, but it was also rather dull, which was bad. I did not feel inspired to do much. I had been thinking of going shopping, but the dullness put me off, as did some very bad weight and blood glucose measurements in the morning.

  Instead of going shopping I just went into an extreme lazy mode for a few hours. I laid on my bed reading, and I am sure I had a snooze. After I while I considered the things that would happen, and which ought to happen. The would happen was the afternoon beer tasting session with Jodie. As usual it was not a session with any great banter, and in fact almost no banter at all.

  The stuff that ought to happen was having a shower, which I did do, and to do the usual kitchen clean up, and beer glass washing and polishing. I must admit I did not complete the kitchen clear up, but got it "good enough" - I hoped. Everything was ready enough for when Jodie arrived - which she did some 30 minutes later than expected - and so I could have done a bit more kitchen cleaning, but I wanted the time to make a cheese roll to line my stomach before the beer started flowing.

  My whole day was, or I hoped to make it, a day when I controlled my eating more than usual (which as not been great recently). There was one other thing I did, and I did mention it yesterday. I had one final dose of Mounjaro to inject, and although I had decided to not use it in future, I decided my blood glucose was so bad that I would have to have that last dose. It should last me until I see the nurse early next month when I may either resume taking Mounjaro, or preferably try the alternative which I think is Ozempic.

  After the beer tasting session, and Jodie had left to get a train just before 7pm, I had my dinner. It was a carefully selected dinner (or that is one way that might describe what I did). I roasted a whole container, which was not very big, of "roasting Mediterranean style vegetables". Initially I was going to survive on just that, but that seemed to be a fairly sparse, and not terribly appetising meal. I added a couple of bits of breaded cod which I cooked (in the oven) on top of the vegetables. The two seemed to go together quite well. I may well seek out some fish to have with new supplies of those vegetables when I go to Tesco (which might be today).

  After (and during eating dinner) I whiled away the time watching TV. I watched a reshowing of The Simpsons Movie, and when that finished I found an episode of QI being shown on Dave. At least I think it was on Dave. It was quite a surprise considering Sunday night is usually very bare of any TV entertainment. I think it was gone 10pm, and possibly gone 11pm when I went to bed. I read for a while before turning out the light. A far as I can recall, I probably fell asleep within minutes of turning out the light.

  I can think of no reason to say anything other than I had a good sleep - although I can't really remember anything good about it in the same way I can't remember anything bad about it. Oh maybe there was one bad thing - I woke up earlier than seemed right, but I did go back to bed, and slept until I woke up just as I was starting to feel the first hints of cramp in my left leg. I haven't woken up with cramp for years. I don't know if it is a good or bad thing. Maybe it is good because I am sure I had far less heart type troubles when I would wake up with cramp in one leg or the other. Waking with cramp was still quite a rare thing even many years ago.

  I am pretty sure that I can thank that last Mounjaro injection yesterday for turning around my blood glucose measurement from bad to good. This morning I got readings of 7.9, 7.6 and 8.2mmol/l. The first two are particularly good. All three average out to 7.9mmol/l - which is good. Yesterday the average was 10.0mmol/l - which is very bad.

  I think I can take credit for being careful about what I ate rather than some miracle of a single dose of Mounjaro. This morning I was 800gm lighter than yesterday. I have subsequently had a delayed, and fair sized poo, and so I may have lost more then 800gm. It seemed enough that I allowed myself a single, but big sized pack of instant noodles for breakfast today.

  While it was bone dry when I started writing this, it is definitely wet out now. The forecast says heavy rain at 1pm. I plan to go to Tesco today, about the only plan I have for the whole day, and I am wondering if I will get out in time to avoid the heavy rain. I think I have to go today because I have opened my last 2 litre bottle of Diet Coke. I could survive on chilled tap water, but something with some fizz is far more enjoyable. Obviously, and maybe i a few cases, sadly I will be buying a lot more than Diet Coke. I might even buy some ice cream before my last injection of Mounjaro wears off (in 6 days now, or possibly a little less).

  One bit of good news is that this morning I was notified that one of the new camera lenses I ordered from Ebay has finally been despatched in to the care of Royal Mail. This was the second one I ordered. The first has not been despatched yet. That is very slow, and I wonder about the authenticity of the alleged seller.
