Woke at 0600 with a bit of a cough. Visited the loo, then got back to sleep. Woke again around 0900. Aki urged me to take a test...it proved positive! Looks like I'll be trapped in this room until next Friday, but I'll try again tomorrow morning in the vain hope of a turnaround!!! Aki made a fruit salad for breakfast which I ate in bed. Lovely looking day out there...I opened the back bedroom door onto the yard, and managed a glimpse of blue sky. Could do with a long walk!!! Did some exercises out there for a while...who knows, I may get around to tidying the garden! Kath tested negative this morning...hoping ma and pa still OK. Aki prepared a traditional Japanese New Year's lunch, which we shared via FaceTime. I could hear the crowd watching the Arsenal v Man City game at the Emirates. Looked like Arsenal were due to run away with it, until a second half Man City penalty, and a sending off, saw Man City turn it around. Spent the afternoon pottering about reading and doing a bit of work. Submitted December's expenses claim. Aki cooked up a mushroom curry with rice, after a Jamie Oliver recipe. Very tasty! Watched episode one of The Tourist....it had a good write up in the Guardian, so felt duty bound to give it a go, although the write up seemed to be by an Australian critic..."franging along the road" and other Ausi-isms!?! It was well shot, but the plotting is very contrived and script a bit heavy handed..."Breaking Bad" it ain't!
