This morning it is bright and sunny, or it is now. I think it was slightly dull an hour or two ago. My thermometers say the current temperature is just under 12° C. By midday the sunshine may give way to just sunny spells, and not too many of them. The afternoon should reach 19° C. Tonight the temperature will fall to 15° C in the early hours of tomorrow. Tomorrow morning may be dull, but the afternoon should see some sunny spells, and tomorrow afternoon could rise as high as 20° C.   

  At 10:40am today I am due to see the nurse at the group practice, and I may have to take a break in writing this, and finish it after I get back.

  Yesterday morning was good in one respect - that being the end of the diarrhoea I had been suffering from during the night. Other than that, and I would not undersell how nice it was to not have to keep rushing to the toilet, it was not the most exciting of days.

  My belly and bottom were both a bit sore after all my visits to the toilet, and that seemed like the perfect excuse to rest a bit more intensely in the morning.... then again, I guess it was probably little different to many morning, but extending it into the afternoon was probably a bit unusual.

  One thing I wanted to do was to have a light lunch. It turned that that it was light, and then again, it was also not so light. It started with some ice cream, and then continued until I had scoffed a whole 500ml tub of ice cream. It is rare I permit such gluttony, but I guess I felt I had a good excuse this time. It was an ice cream I had not tried before - vanilla with Biscoff biscuits in it. It was rather nice, and quite hard to put down.

  I seemed to read quite a lot yesterday, and I am now getting close to the first sequel to Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy. As I mentioned yesterday (and probably keep mentioning) it is much smoother reading that the original 1950s vintage trilogy. By 1982 it seemed Asimov had developed a more fluid style, or at least a style that satisfied my reading. Once I have finished this book I will move on the "Forward The Foundation" which is the final part of the story, and was written in 1992 just before Asimov's death.

  It is now Thursday 15th October: I never did get to finishing yesterday's diary. It was a mix of not enough time and not enough enthusiasm to make time. I am going to upload this now, as yesterday's diary, and start today from fresh. It will, or course be mostly about yesterday, but will include one important thing from the day before - I thing that was responsible for my lack of time, and lack of enthusiasm (which could also be written as strength) to finish writing yesterday.
