 It was brilliantly sunny yesterday morning, and even when some clouds appeared, around midday, we still had some nice sunny spells for the rest of the day. It stayed dry, and the temperature reached 21° C for one hour at 4pm.

  Clear sky during the night (with the moon shining brightly as I closed the curtains) meant a cold start this morning. The forecast said 13° C at 7am, but it is now up to nearly 17° C thanks to strong sunshine. The forecast says strong sunshine all day long, and the temperature should rise to 21° C by 1pm, and stay there until it slowly starts to drop at 7pm, although it may no drop far. The latest update say the temperature should reach 22° C today. Tomorrow should be dry and sunny, and it could warm up to 23° C. Even Monday may not be too bad, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow to get a more accurate forecast.

  Being awake for a lot of the night before last had it's consequences yesterday. I didn't feel tired, or I didn't think I did, and yet I did an awful lot of snoozing. I started writing very late, and after writing I had a lie down, and was soon snoozing. I can't say it was a deep sleep. I would wake for a few seconds, and think I was aware of what was happening, but it wasn't until I noticed the clock say it was 1:30pm that I decided it was time to pay more attention to the world.

  I started off by by having some lunch. It did feel like I was hungry, although at least 50% of the reason was just habit. I had two Ciabbata rolls filled with sliced corned beef and sliced, pickled, gherkins. They were nice, but not as nice as I hoped for. Maybe it would have worked better with ordinary sliced white bread. I have a feeling I probably had a short snooze after lunch.

  If I didn't snooze, I certainly spent some time laying on my bed reading my current book. "Eclipse" By John Shirley. It is apparently the first book of a trilogy. It is a tedious book to read. Some bits are good, and other bits seem to be a bit tedious, and you have to grit your teeth to read them so later stuff makes sense.

  A little later in the afternoon I went and sat at my PC, and spent ages reading stuff from the internet, and also downloading lot of stuff.  One thing I can't quite remember is if I had any significant snacks during this time. Maybe I didn't because I was very keen for my dinner as 6pm approached. I had an Aldi ready meal of pulled pork in a thick spicy gravy with sliced greens and rice. It was as nice as I hoped it might be.

  The evening was a bit boring. I could find very little to watch on TV. For reasons unknown, there didn't seem to be any Star Trek episodes being shown, and I had to make do with more old episodes of The Simpsons, but at least they seemed to be repeats that hadn't been shown for a long time. I was feeling tired but I did stay up to watch QI, and I think I watched Have I Got News For You. After that I went to bed.

  I remember very little of the night. I think I was asleep minutes after my head hit the pillow. I seemed to fall into a deep and dreamless sleep. In fact I can only remember a mere hint of having one dream, but I have no idea what it was about. I know I did it a few times, but I can't really remember getting up in the night to pee. I do remember that when I did start to get up I went for quite a big pee.

  This morning was one of those rare mornings when I got up and did my usual health measurements, and refreshed the weather forecast for later screenshotting. I then went back to bed and I think I may have slept for an hour. When I woke up I needed another pee, and that was handy for when I weighed myself again. Maybe it is cheating, but after than I can say I only put on 200gm since yesterday.

  I only checked my blood glucose once, and it was better than I hoped for. The Contour meter read 8.2mmol/l, and that is good, or at least good enough. The GlucoRX meter read 7.6mmol/l, and that is definitely good. The new GlucoFix meter read 8.2mmol/l, the same as the Contour Meter. After a day that included bread, and ice cream (I think I had that for Dessert after my dinner) I felt they were good readings.

  I think I'll be going for a walk today, but whether it will be to to Ladywell and back, or to Aldi, I have no idea. but I feel it is unlikely I will do both, but you never know. I must admit I have had fleeting ideas for some sort of more ambitious outing - possibly involving some train travel, but any of all these things will happen if they happen, and maybe nothing at all will happen.
