Aki up early to call her mum in Tokyo...it's her 94th birthday today! She wasn't very communicative though, sadly. Aki's documentation arrived in the post, so she arranged a 3pm appointment with the Japanese Embassy. It looked like another scorcher this afternoon, so we walked up Highgate Hill and bought a couple of paninis from the Italian deli at the top, which we ate on a bench in Waterlow Park. Walked Aki down to the tube station at Archway, and she headed off for the Embassy, and from thence to Heathrow to get a PCR test done. I went home and awaited the start of the Emma Raducanu match...Aki got home midway through the first set. Emma went on to beat the No.11 seed and Olympic Champion in straight sets!!! I cooked Spanish chicken and chorizo for dinner, then watched Zverev get through to the Men's singles semi-final. Spoke to dad on the phone. He'd had a face-to-face chat with Jim this morning. Jim seems to know what he has to do to turn things round, but it's going to be down to him alone to do it! Keeping our fingers crossed, but it could be a long haul...told dad he'd been off the booze for the past three days, which is hopefully a start.
