It was, and still is around 10° C, but it should warm to around 14° C this afternoon. First there will be sunny spells, and from 2pm there will be full sunshine until sunset (hopefully). By 9pm the temperature may have fallen to 9° C. From 11pm it may get misty, and from 1am this morning the temperature may be as low as 8° C. Tomorrow will start with mist, and it could hang around to as late as 11am. Tomorrow will be a very dull day with an afternoon high as low as 11° C - which sounds about right for the start of November.

  Yesterday was not quite as predicted, although two things I expected to happen did happen - one was good, and the other was bad, and the bad set the tone of the day. All I wrote about yesterday, plus some notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for the 31st October.

   It was about 3am this morning when I peeped out and saw that this morning was misty. The mist didn't dissipate until sometime between 8 and 9am. We now have glorious sunshine. It should warm the afternoon up to 15° C again, but with full sunshine forecast, it could feel very nice. After sunset the temperature will drop, and by 3am tomorrow morning it could be down to 9° C. From 1am it could get misty again. The mist should lift at around 8am, and once again we may have sunny spells followed by non stop sunshine until sunset. The mist may fall again after dark, and the day after tomorrow is shown as being foggy - a sure sign November has started !

  Yesterday was fairly good, although it's legacy was bad. It was a day when I couldn't seem to do anything fast, and that meant I never did have the shower I intended to have. Fortunately I don't think anyone noticed ! What I did do, and stuff that happened, is all described, along with notes about this morning, in my complete archived page about yesterday.

   This morning was forecast to start with mist, but it seemed to be completely transparent mist as far as I could see. Maybe that mist was very high in the sky, a lot like cloud because it was dull, but we now have sunny spells, and they may lest until sunset. The afternoon temperature should reach 15° C,but it will cool off as soon as the sun sets. By midnight it may have fallen to 10° C, and maybe it will be misty tonight. Tomorrow is forecast to start at 9° C, and the mist that might start at 11pm tonight, may persist until 9am tomorrow. Much of tomorrow may feature full sunshine, but the afternoon may still only see 15° C.

  There were good things about yesterday, and I guess I ought to say yesterday was a good day, but it was only good in bits. Some of yesterday was just very average - neither good nor bad. My full description (or as much as I can remember) about yesterday, plus some notes about this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page about yesterday.

   The temperature was just 8° C at 6am, but it should rise to 15° C this afternoon. Unfortunately, if the forecast is correct, from 10am the sun will end up behind clouds, and this afternoon may be dull. After 4pm the temperature will fall like yesterday, and by midnight to may be down to 10° C. One novelty if it happens, and I can bother to look outside to see it, mist will descend at 2am. The mist may continue until 9am tomorrow morning. Once it lifts we may get sunny spells, and a few of them may be quite lengthy. Tomorrow after may reach 15° C like today, but with a few sunny spells it may look nicer than today.

  I guess I have to say that yesterday was a good day, but still short of excellent or wonderful. The actual good thing was it was quite a productive day, and I did a few things I had been putting off for some time. These things, and some other stuff, plus the usual notes about this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page for yesterday.

   The temperature was 16° C at 6am, but it is falling towards just 14° C now. It seems like it rained all night, and it is raining now, but it may stop at 11am. From then on we may see some sunny spells, and even full sunshine until it is all quenched by sunset at 4.45pm today. The afternoon may peak at 15° C, but it is going down to 9° C tonight. Tomorrow should start clear, and there may be full sunshine at sunrise. By 11am it may only be sunny spells, and they will be intermittent with some hours left with no sunshine at all. Tomorrow afternoon may reach 15° C.

  I am unsure why, but I think of yesterday as being a semi good day - which is odd considering most of the day was cold, grey and wet. Maybe it was because I did some experiments with my diet that seemed to work out well when I checked my health readings this morning. I've described yesterday as well as I can, and I've added some notes about this morning, and the complete thing can be read in my archive.

   The wind is coming from the south today, and that is a warm direction, but that warm wind carries a lot of moisture, and so it is raining as I write this. There is not enough rain to be visible, but the road outside is most definitely wet, and there are a couple of rain drops on the window. The rain is forecast to continue until 4pm, and the temperature will slowly rise from about 10° C to 16° C until then. It may stay at 16° C for the rest of the day, and into the small hours of tomorrow morning. 6am tomorrow may see 16° C, but it will also see rain. There may even be an hour of heavy rain at 9am tomorrow, but by 11am it should stop, but it may take a few hours before the sun comes out. Tomorrow afternoon could be very sunny, but only 15° C for a few hours before falling to 14° C.

  Yesterday was possibly one of the better days compared to recent days. The sunshine obviously helped a lot. I did two and a half good/useful things. The half a things was the old story of starting some laundry, and then not completing the job (something I have to do today). My day, plus the usual notes about this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page about yesterday.

   The wind kept the temperature up to 10° C overnight, and so this morning has started milder than recent mornings. The huge improvement today is sunshine - full sunshine from a blue sky ! With luck it will continue until sunset at 4.47pm today. All the sunshine will only raise the afternoon temperature to 13° C. That is not very high, but it should feel OK in the sunshine. Once again we may get a couple of hours of 40mph winds, and today they are prediected for 11am and midday. Tonight may be a bit cooler than last night, but 9° C is not that terrible. It is tomorrow that will be terrible - the rain returns ! All the daylight hours will see rain, although no heavy rain is forecast. From 3pm tomorrow the temperature may reach 16° C - that is some very small compensation for the rain.

  Yesterday was another day where the rain and dull sky killed any get up and go in me. I did not go out, and I did very little. I read quite a lot, and I managed to convince myself to eat a slightly less voracious diet for my dinner. All I wrote about yesterday, plus the usual notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page about yesterday.

   There were some clear skies during the night that let the temperature drop to 7° C (one of my thermometers said 6.8° C earlier on) by this morning. I will slowly warm up as warm winds, and warm gales, and even stronger winds blow from the south west. By 8pm the temperature may reach 15° C. It is dry now, but very dull. The forecast says that any minute now it will start to rain, and like yesterday, the rain won't stop for "hours", and today's version of "hours" may extend to 1am tomorrow morning. Tomorrow may start at 10° C, and from the moment the sun rises we may have non stop sunshine until sunset. That will only raise the temperature to 13° C, but in full sunshine that may feel fairly good, or would do if the wind is not too strong.

  Yesterday was horrible and there is nothing positive to say about it, but I'll see if I can reduce my description of the day to less than 99% moaning and groaning ! I think I part succeeded in not making it too moany, it is all described, with a few notes about this morning tagged on the end, in my complete archived page about yesterday.

   After it rained all night, it is still raining, and the forecast says it may not stop until 9pm today. The afternoon may see 12° C, but from 5pm it may fall to 9° C, and then just 8° C by 1am tomorrow morning. Apart from the rain, the other big feature in the forecast is gale force winds from 3pm. They could reach 43mph, although that does not seem all that high to me - although quite strong enough to blow the rain straight into your face regardless of hoods or umbrellas. Tomorrow (Saturday) could start at just 7° C, and the rest of the day could be almost identical to today, and that includes the gale force winds in the late afternoon.

  As noted yesterday, my very vague plans for yesterday were to either go for a walk in the park with one of my cameras, or much more likely, go shopping in Tesco. It was the latter that I did. Later on I would be joined by Jodie and Michael for some beer tasting. Along with a few notes about this morning, yesterday is more fully described in my complete page for yesterday.

   This morning started at 10° C, and the road outside looked very wet from overnight rain, but it didn't seem to take long before we saw the first sunny spell. As I type this it seems quite sunny outside, and the sky looks clear enough for it to be actual sunshine instead of a sunny spell. There should be sunshine or sunny spells until sunset. They will only raise the temperature to 14° C by 3pm. That is not that warm, but probably about right for the time of year. Rain may return at 9pm, and it could get heavy during the night. The BBC even predicts some thunder and lightning at 4am tomorrow (but the Met Office shows just heavy rain). Most of tomorrow is forecast to be rainy. Much of tomorrow will be 12° C, and that is probably not that bad, but from 2pm gale force winds are predicted, and they may well make it feel a fair bit cooler.

  I didn't finish writing until 9pm yesterday, and so I have already described nearly everything that happened yesterday, and so I just have to say a few words about the night, and this morning to get today's diary done. Those few words turned into half a dozen paragraphs, and all can be read in my complete archived page about yesterday and this morning.

   Today has been another very wet day, although between about 8 and 9am, contrary to the weather forecast, it was grey, but dry. From sometime between 10:30 and 11am it started to rain, and within another 10 minutes it was very heavy rain. At some point, but I am not exactly when, the rain seemed to fizzle out. This evening even featured a nice sunset. The temperature today fluctuated between 10 and 12° C. By 8pm it may be down to 9° C, and stay there for most of the night, which incidentally is forecast to be very wet again. Much of tomorrow will feature sunny spells, and they may raise the temperature to 14° C by 3pm.

  Yesterday was was a sort of mixed day. The morning included a visit to the vampires to give a couple of tubes of blood for analysis. After that I sort or relaxed - a lot ! Unfortunately I also relaxed any discipline I might have over what I ate. It did not help that I had been shopping in Tesco, and so I had some bad temptations to be seduced by. Today's full diary is novel in so much as it includes a lot about yesterday, plus almost all there is to say about today. It can all be read in my complete archived page for yesterday and today !

   This morning's temperature is 12° C, and it may stay the same until 11pm when it will have dropped to 11° C. The headline feature for today is rain. Only light rain is forecast, but it could last until 6pm, and maybe longer. Tomorrow could see rain too, but maybe not non stop, and there might even be a tiny chance of some short sunny spells. Most of tomorrow will be around 11° C, but midday could see 12° C.

  Yesterday was another day with a few good bits and mostly dull bits. Today sees some minor excitement. At 9.55am I have to give some blood samples, and so I will probably have to stop writing at some point, and continue when I get home (and have had some breakfast) - which I have done. All I wrote about yesterday, plus some notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page about yesterday.

   It was definitely looking wet at 6am, and I feel sure it was still raining. 8am saw the start of some sunny spells. They seemed a bit wishy washy at first, but they look quite strong now, and a lot of the sky is blue. After a 9° C start, the temperature should rise to 13 at midday, and then 14° C by 2pm, but the sunny spells may have stopped by then as more and more cloud gathers above. By 9pm the forecast says the cloud will be quite thick, and rain will soon follow. By midnight the rain will still be falling, but it will be warming up a bit. By 1am the temperature may have risen to 13° C. Most of tomorrow will feature rain, although it currently looks like it will be light rain. Most of tomorrow will be 12° C, but from 3pm it may rise to 13° C.

  There were bits of yesterday that were good, but overall it was a dull day. I had intended to go shopping in Tesco, but that never happened because I didn't seem to have the time spare for that. What I did do, but not how it seemed to use up all my time, is described, along with some notes about this morning, in my complete archived page about yesterday.

   I saw 7.8° C on one of my outside thermometers this morning. It is now 11° C as some warmer and wetter air heads our way (although the wind is from the north and so should be colder and drier !). There are some sunny spells, and they may continue, on and off, for much of the day, although some may be between outbreaks of rain. After a few showers in the early afternoon it may settle down to non stop light rain for the rest of the day. This afternoon may only 14° C again, but the rain and gloomy sky may make it feel a lot colder than it did yesterday. All the cloud may help keep the temperature a bit higher during the night. The rain may finally finish at 6am tomorrow, and the rest of the morning could be very sunny. Tomorrow afternoon may see sunny spells, and once again the temperature may be 14° C.

  I'm not sure whether to describe yesterday as good or bad. In one respect the evening was bad, or perhaps "disappointing" may be a better way of describing it. I guess another way of describing it would be a day of wasted opportunities. My day, yesterday, such as it was, is more fully described, along with the usual notes about this morning, and it can all be read in my complete archived page for today.

   It was just 8° C at 6am this morning, thanks to clear skies. That also meant that we had full sunshine a couple of hours later when the sun had risen.  The full sunshine this morning will probably change to just sunny spells for the afternoon. More cold winds from the north mean that no amount of sunshine could raise the afternoon temperature above 14° C today. Once again it is going to be a cold night. There will be more cloud tomorrow morning and that should help the temperature stop going below 9° C. There may be some sunny spells tomorrow morning, but the afternoon may only reach 13° C, and the afternoon could see rain or drizzle.

  Yesterday seemed like a satisfactory day. It had one downside, and few upsides, but passed smoothly. I guess the day ended well, and that made for a good start to this morning. My complete description of yesterday, plus some notes about the following morning, can be read in my complete archived page for the day.

   This morning, as predicted in the forecast, there has been some quite heavy rain. It seems to have stopped now, but it is still very grey outside. By midday we may get some sunny spells that may turn into full sunshine at 5pm - just as the sun starts to set. Even with the sunny spells, we can only expect 15° C this afternoon thanks to the wind shifting to come from the north. The rest of today should be dry. The clear skies that will bring the very late afternoon sunshine will also be responsible for the temperature dipping to single figures, maybe as low as 8° C by 4am tomorrow morning. Fortunately tomorrow may start with sunshine, followed by sunny spells. It may only warm the afternoon up to 14° C. We are now seeing late autumn weather now !

  Yesterday started with me feeling terrible. I am sure it was a bad reaction to the 'flu vaccine I had the day before. It really felt like I had 'flu with all the aches and pains that go with it. I improved a lot during the day, but even today I am not sure I am 100%, but it might just be the weather today. My day is more fully described, and a few noes added about this morning, and all can be read in my complete archived page about yesterday.

   The forecast for today shows a dull start to the day, but as I type this the sun is shining. There is a fair bit of blue sky to be seen, and so this is not a solitary sunny spell. Maybe a few more sunny spells will make this afternoon a degree or two warmer than the forecast, and rather good for the time of year, 20° C.  A couple of sunny spells are shown for early evening, and clear skies after midnight. That should mean a very cold night, but the forecast still predicts 15° C for the small hours of tomorrow morning.....however. The latest update shows not just cloud, but rain from 4am tomorrow morning. The rain may finish after 9am, and the rest of tomorrow should see sunny spells, and even full sunshine for the last couple of hours of daylight. The afternoon may be just 15° C, and I guess that is more typical for this time of year.  

  I start today by going back to the day before yesterday when a mini calamity happened that left it's mark on the start of yesterday. That and yesterday, but no notes about this morning (just for a change) is all described, with a few pictures, in my complete archived page for today.

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.....except I didn't. All I did manage to write before going to my appointment with the diabetes nurse, can be read in my incomplete diary for Wednesday 14th October.

   All morning it has looked damp outside, but I haven't seen any rain falling. If the forecast is correct it could start any minute now ! By 1pm the thick and heavy clouds will have left to leave full on sunshine (hopefully). This afternoon may reach 20° C, and that is pretty warm for mid October. The temperature will start to slowly fall at 4pm, and by 4am tomorrow morning it will have fallen to just 12° C. Tomorrow may start (6am) at just 10° C, but the clear sky that let the temperature drop so much, also means lots of sunshine once the sun is a bit higher in the sky. Tomorrow afternoon may only see sunny spells, but it should reach 18° C.

  Yesterday started with the sort of excitement I could do without, but once that was out of the way it was a fairly good start to the day. The afternoon was a bit dull, and the evening was not so nice. My night was even worse, and as for this morning... I'll come to that later ! My day, night, plus some notes about this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page about yesterday.

   So far this morning it has not been that gloomy, but it is now turning that way. The forecast says the clouds will thicken from about now (as I write these words), and before long we can expect some light rain and drizzle. Most of the afternoon, and then the evening, will be very dull, but maybe dry. The small hours of this morning will be very mild with 16° C predicted. Tomorrow may start at 17° C, and by 11pm it could be 19° C - and raining ! There may only be a couple of hours when it rains. From 2pm tomorrow, we may see full sunshine, and the late afternoon reaching 20° C !

  Yesterday was a better day than expected, but maybe only because of one thing. Later in the afternoon we (me and Jodie) had a beer tasting session. The full description of yesterday (or at least anything I can remember, and that seems worth noting down) can be read in my complete archived page for today, which also includes the usual notes about this morning.

   At  6am the temperature was just 9° C, but like yesterday it is bright and sunny this morning. I must admit the sunshine is a surprise because most of the sky is covered in thin cloud. The first half of this afternoon should see some sunny spells, and that may help the temperature to rise to 15° C. Tonight will not be as cold as last night, but it is still going to be chilly. Tomorrow may start at 13° C, and also with thick cloud. Not a single ray of sunshine is forecast for tomorrow, but a lot of light rain is forecast.....although the chances of that rain are fairly low for most of the time, and just one single hour shows a still low chance of 42%. The afternoon may be 17° C, with a brief peak of 18° C at 6pm.

  Yesterday I admitted that while I could do a few things, I had the choice of being very lazy all day long. That was the route I took. There were still a few notable things I did yesterday, and I have written about them, plus some notes about this morning, in my complete archived page about yesterday.

   At  6am the temperature was just 10° C. This morning the sky is clear, and as I write this there is strong sunshine. The forecast only predicts sunny spells, and maybe the sunshine will turn into sunny spells later in the morning. The afternoon may be dull, but from 4pm the sunny spells may return. The afternoon may only reach 14° C.It will be another cold night with the temperature down to 10° C in the small hours.  Tomorrow may start at just 9° C, but there may be some sunny spells to warm the day up a little, but most of the afternoon will be dull. Just 15° C is forecast for the afternoon.

  Yesterday was a fairly dull day, as in not a lot happened. I did a few minor things, and I tried to eat sensibly, but both failed and succeeded. I'll explain that much further down the page ! My complete page for yesterday explains it all, plus it includes the usual notes about this morning.

   The overnight rain has stopped now, but it still looks rather grey outside. By midday the cloud may be thicker, and 6 hours of light rain are forecast. The afternoon may be 18° C - warmer than yesterday, but under a gloomy sky, and rain it may well feel chilly. The small hours of tomorrow morning should see clear skies, and by 2am the temperature may drop to just 11° C, and it may still be falling. The forecast for tomorrow shows 10° C at 6am. The day may see some sunny spells, but much of it may be dull. Tomorrow afternoon may peak at just 14° C.

  Yesterday was generally a good day with the odd not so good bit. Highlights include a shopping trip to Aldi, and the late afternoon beer tasting session. The full description of my day, plus a few notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

   This morning, and indeed most of the early hours of this morning, were rather cold with the temperature down to 8° C. Right now the sky is mostly blue, and we have bright sunshine. The forecast says it should continue almost until sunset. Sadly, it may only warm the afternoon up to just 14° C. Autumn seems to have started early ! At sunset the sky will start to cloud over, and that will keep the temperature up, but from midnight we can expect more rain. The rain may have stopped by 6am tomorrow morning, when it will be 14° C, but it will resume at midday tomorrow. The afternoon will be not only wet, but it will be warmer than today with 18° C predicted.

 
  Yesterday was not a terribly exciting day, but I have described most of it, and added the usual notes about this morning, and it can be read in my complete archived page for yesterday.

   Today should have started with rain, and it certainly looks like it could rain, but for the moment it is still dry. If it rains, and with a 100% chance of rain forecast for 11am, it seems it will, that rain could be very heavy this afternoon. It is currently 16° C, and the forecast says it will get colder. This afternoon could see just 14° C, and it will get even cooler. By 2am it could be down to just 9° C. Tomorrow could start at just 8° C (at 6am), but it may be a very sunny day. The afternoon may still only reach 15° C.

  When I think back to yesterday I feel that it was actually a fair day. I may not have done anything that dramatic, but the day seemed to pass smoothly, and I two good things come to mind. These and a few other notes about the day, and also this morning, can be read in my complete archived paged about yesterday.

   Once again mist was forecast, and this morning it is very misty. It should lift in a few hours to reveal a fairly grey day. There could be some sunny spells after 4pm, and 4pm could see the temperature reach it's peak today of 21° C again. It should be a a dry day, and the night will not get so cool as recent nights. At 1am it will only fall to 16° C, and probably no lower for much of the small hours, but by 6am tomorrow morning it could be down to 15° C. Tomorrow looks to be a wet day, and the morning may start with drizzle. The rest of the day will see mostly light rain, but there could be the odd hour with some heavier rain. Tomorrow afternoon may only see 15° C, and by 3pm it could be down to just 14° C. By 3am on the day after tomorrow, it could be down to just 9° C. It can be long until the first morning frost.

  Yesterday was another sort of bland day. Nothing of any great significance happened. I guess there were a few things worth a note, and my day is more fully described in my complete archived page for yesterday, and which includes the usual notes about this morning.

   Once again mist was forecast,  but it is sunny at the moment - rather earlier than forecast, although the sky is far from clear at the moment. To the north there are a mixture of white fluffy clouds, and some fair sized patches of blue. To the south the sky looks more messy - a patchwork of greys and milky white. It is surprising the sun has found some clear paths to shine through. It may get clearer soon, and the afternoon may see far more sunshine, including a couple of hours of full sunshine The afternoon may peak at 21° C again. It looks to be another cold night. Tomorrow may start at 13° C. Much of tomorrow may be grey, but there could be a few sunny spells from late afternoon. The temperature may peak at 20° C.

  Yesterday was a semi good day, but maybe because after about 8 or 9 days of being teetotal (and I have no real idea why) I finally had a few beers. This and more is described, with added notes about the next morning, in my complete archived page for the day.

   This morning mist was forecast, and earlier in the small hours there was supposed to be fog, but it was clear as a bell when I first peeped out the window soon after sunrise. It is bright and sunny now, and much of the sky looks blue. From 1pm there should be full sunshine (although I haven't noticed any pauses in the sunshine for some time now). The afternoon should reach 21° C, but after darkness fall the temperature will slowly sink to 13° C by 3am tomorrow morning. That may be the lowest temperature tomorrow morning. The rest of tomorrow may be very similar to today (but without the mist and fog - if that ever happened).

  Yesterday was another day when I could not be bothered to be enthused to do anything of note - unless you count finishing reading Isaac Asimov's "Second Foundation". All I did do that I could remember, and seemed noteworthy, is described, along with some notes about this morning, in my complete archived page about yesterday.

   This is bright and sunny, but it is slightly hazy sunshine coming through a milky white sky. The forecast says it should be 16° C right now, and that seems correct. The afternoon may be dull, possibly very dull at 3pm, but the temperature should still reach 20° C. The rest of the day, and through the night, will see cloudy skies, and at 8pm some drizzle is possible (although with only a 31% chance it actually seems unlikely to me). Tomorrow afternoon could see full sunshine, but it will only raise the temperature to 21° C, and for for maybe just a single hour.

  Yesterday had it's good points, but I didn't make much of the day. I just didn't feel inspired to do much. However I did finish my laundry and hang it up to dry, and I did go shopping. The rest of my day, plus some notes about this morning, is described in my complete archived page for yesterday.

   This morning I am showing a screen shot of the Met Office forecast. It seems I did not save a screenshot of the BBC forecast this morning. It is currently bright and sunny as I write this, and a lot of the sky is blue, but it does seem to be changing fast. The forecast says sunny spells for all daylight hours, and the afternoon should reach 21° C. Tomorrow may start with full sunshine, but that will give way to sunny spells before midday. Tomorrow afternoon may reach 22° C.

  Yesterday was another day when very little happened, and that was despite preparing in case something happened, although I am not sure what. The full entry for yesterday can be read in my complete archived page about yesterday, and which, as usual, includes some notes about this morning.

   It is bright and sunny as I write this. This morning started off quite fresh, but it is now 16° C, and I have the window open. By the afternoon it should reach 20° C after a mix of sunny spells, and a couple of hours of full sunshine. After 6pm the temperature will start to drop as night starts to fall. By 1am tomorrow it could be down to just 13° C. By 6am tomorrow morning it may be just 12° C. It is now October, and Autumn is on it's way, but the first frost could still be a month or more away.

  Yesterday included one brief bit of excitement, but most of the day was not exciting at all. In fact it seems like it was a wasted opportunity for a walk in the sunshine/sunny spells. My day, plus some notes about this morning, is more fully described in my complete archived page about yesterday.
