Woke around 0745. Got up and did a little work at the computer before making myself a packed lunch and heading out on inspections. Started off in N7, then gravitated eastward. Stopped off at Sainsbury's in Manor House, then on to Walthamstow, Chingford, and across to East Ham. Had my packed lunch sat in the car on a street in Manor Park. Got stuck in traffic on the Romford Road at school kicking-out time. Complete gridlock! Had to pack up and head home as darkness fell. Did a bit of work at the computer, then we headed up the road to No.127 for supper chez Katherine and George's. Ben and Gayu from No.38 brought dessert, and Katherine's eldest son Elliot joined us. A very pleasant evening spent around the dining table. Katherine has been working as a lead architectural project manager on the refurbishment of the Palace of Westminster, but has handed in her notice and is taking a sabbatical come the new year, joining George, who has been on sabbatical for almost two years. They seem to have a lot of plans in the pipeline, not least marriage in May at Islington Town Hall. Gayu is enjoying an Art Foundation taster course at the City Lit, so we were trying to persuade her to give an end of term exhibition at No.38. Ben meanwhile is re-training as a psychotherapist, and already has a couple of clients! It's all go around here!!! Got home by 1030 for bath and bed.
