Friday 6th May 2022

Woke to alarm at 0730. Rolled out of bed and made tea. Porridge for breakfast. Heated up some soup to take on my journey, and bagged one of the sushi trays we bought last night. Got out of the house around 0930, and drove to Sainsburys in Manor House to fill up with petrol, then made for the M1. Stopped off at Toddington Service station to buy some lunch items, then it was on to Milton Keynes, my first port of call on a long day. Took the A5 toward Coventry...took about half an hour to crawl through Towcester...then on to inspections in Keresley, Exhall, Bedworth and Nuneaton. Had my lunch sitting in the car on a side street in Bulkington. Finished in Nuneaton about 1600...the traffic was dreadful, so I was glad to get back on M1. Last port of call was Kempston, a suburb of Bedford. Got home at 1900 after doing 260 miles! Exhausted. Aki had cooked chicken and chorizo with white beans and tomato, followed by rhubarb crumble and mango ice cream. Aki had a zoom meeting at 2000. I wanted to listen to Sunderland's play-off tie with Sheffield Wednesday, but couldn't find it. Kept an eye out on the live text feed. Did some lines, concentrating on the long second half section. In bed by 2200!
