Woke around 0800 after a relatively comfortable night's sleep. The mattress was a memory foam one, but firm, and the pillows were great. Bob brought us mugs of tea, and we showered before descending for breakfast of croissants and homemade apple and bramble jam, and buttered crumpets. Managed to fit in a quick walk along the nearby Greenline, a stretch of reclaimed railway line...Lottie took her rubbish picker and filled a plastic bag! Said our farewells at their front door and climbed back into the car. Headed down the A606, past the Keyworth turning, and on to the A46, joining the M1 at Leicester Forest East. Stopped for a sandwich and a salad at Newport Pagnell Service Station...which is showing it's age...needs knocking down! Traffic very slow around Milton Keynes, but got through it, getting home around 1545. Unpacked the car before Aki cycled off to the dentist on Upper Street. I called mum and dad to report our safe return, and returned Chris Martin's call of a couple of days ago. He's about to jet off to the Algarve to mark his 80th birthday on a white sandy beach! Nice!!! Aki returned via Waitrose bearing some supplies. She cooked a carbonara for dinner, and we had cheese and biscuits to follow. Opened up the dishwasher to find the bottom of it full of water...it seems to have developed a blockage. Aki managed to bail it out, and clean the filter, but we won't know for sure whether it's worked until next we switch it on! I did an hour or so at the computer, trying to progress my CPD...need to do four hours tomorrow! Read a little Copperfield afore bed...
