Alarm at 0730. Aki got up to ready herself for her Friday visit to the rowing club. She brought me a mug of tea. Got up and made porridge as Aki cycled off to Stoke Newington. I headed off eastward in the car, hitting the A13, and inspections in Aveley, and South Ockendon, before heading northward to Brentwood, and from thence up the M11 for a lunch stop at Birchanger services. The service station was overrun...it took me 20 minutes to get to the car park off the slip road, and 15 minutes to get out again! I bought an expensive sandwich and some odds and ends in Waitrose there, and ate in the car listening to commentary as Heather Watson won through to the last 16 for the first time in her long Wimbledon career. Drove through some very pleasant villages to Clavering, then back to Elsenham, Takeley, and ended up in Felsted, before turning the car round and heading home. There had been a minor accident on the M11 southbound, which added half-an-hour to my journey. Got home at 1900. Aki had baked salmon for dinner, with potatoes, vegetables, and a creamy leek sauce. Watched some more tennis before having an early night.
