Woke around 0900, exhausted after our exploits of yesterday...too much fresh air! Got up and breakfasted downstairs with the folks. Phoned Jim...he is going to see a house in Wallsend with Emma this afternoon, then they go for a weekend break in Kielder Forest. Hopefully will see them in October for the London Marathon. Aki and I prepared lunch, using up some of the leftovers in the fridge...Aki made a tasty tortilla. Drove out to Hexham in mum's Up! to visit the rowing club there...it's situated on a really lovely stretch of the Tyne just west of the old 18th century bridge. The building just looks like a shed to keep boats in...there are no windows, so it doesn't look nearly as sociable as the Newburn club. But it's in a great spot...and the town is not unattractive, though they seem to be digging up half the roads at the moment. Drove back via the Co-op on Darras and bought some milk. Aki cooked up a tasty stir fried pork dish, with fluffy rice; followed by Rollo cheesecake and ice cream. Watched a bit of telly before shower and bed...
