Woke around 0730 and hauled ourselves out of bed. Aki wanted to go into town to convert some Japanese yen into sterling, and needed a bodyguard, so we went into Covent garden on the tube from Finsbury Park. It was pretty quiet. Covent Garden was all but empty...no mime artists or street acts to be seen! Aki converted her cash into pounds, and we walked over to a nearby HSBC to deposit the notes. Got a northern line train from Leicester Square to Kentish Town. Had half an hour to kill before my scan appointment, so Aki treated her bodyguard to coffee and orange polenta cake. The scan at the Kentish Town Health Centre went quickly...he did a thorough ultra sound scan of my right groin, as I have been getting periods of excessive pain there recently...the old hernia repair wound! We walked back to Holloway from Kentish Town, via Tufnell Park. Nice day for a walk. We had bought aubergine and tomato foccaccia from the cafe in Kentish Town, and warmed it up in the oven for lunch...very tasty. Spent the afternoon at the computer keyboard. Broke for dinner. Aki warmed up the leftover mabo and rice. Watched a bit of telly and read some Shuggie Bain...very funny scene of awkward teenage lust on an embankment overlooking the M9. Bath and bed.
