Woke to alarm at 0700. Aki up to prepare for Rowing Club. Porridge for breakfast. Made myself a packed lunch. Aki cycled off to Hackney. I drove up the M40, stopping off at ASDA in High Wycombe for petrol, and a coffee. Then on to Oxford, and Eynsham, where I stopped to eat my lunch in the village car park. Nice place...lots of brownstone cottages, some thatched. Ended the working day in Hook Norton, just SW of Banbury, and then turned for home. Warning signs of an accident blocking lanes between J2 and J1, but the traffic was coming to halt at J4, so came off and stretched my legs at John Lewis's in High Wycombe. Bought a sweatshirt, and got Aki a potato ricer, so she can make gnocchi. Traffic seemed to have cleared an hour later, but it got heavy somewhere around Northolt....crawled into the city, getting home at 1920. Aki cooked roast duck breast with a blueberry sauce, and fondant potatoes...followed by fig tarte and custard...yum!
