Woke around 0715. Made a mug of tea, then sat at the computer for a couple of hours. Ran some errands, did some vacuuming and tidying up, then set out for west London to do some inspections in Ealing, Southall, and Hounslow, the intention being to strike out from there to pick Aki up from Terminal 2 around 1700. Ate my lunch in the car in Southall. Aki texted me to say her flight was due in an hour earlier than forecast, so I finished up with a couple of stops in Hounslow East before heading for Terminal 2. Managed to find each-other on Level 1 of the multi-storey car park. Great to see her jumping up and down waving at me from outside the lifts. Had to pay £5 for the privilege of using the pick up point...I suppose they need the money after the two years the travel industry has endured! Long journey back home...traffic jams at almost every major junction...took about 20 minutes just to drive up Horn Lane. Camden Parkway even more of a crawl than usual due to road works at the Camden Road end. Got home at last around 1845. Aki unpacked while I made her a welcome home dinner...confit of duck, with mash, and pureed carrot; followed by the last of the pear cobbler. Watched a bit of telly...Aki nodding off on the sofa. Early bath and bed after a long day!
