Saturday 7th January 2023

Woke around 0900. Aki made tea. I got up and cooked a sizeable brunch. We ordered a new basket strainer and waste from Franke in the hope that I can fix the leak beneath the sink. Called mum. She sounded in fine fettle. They have another funeral to go to this coming week, though! It's becoming a recurring theme. Had some of Aki's parsnip soup for lunch, and walked over to Stroud Green to visit Green and Glory for some greens, amongst other things. Popped round to No.29 with the guitar effects pedal for Ottie. Julia's mum had come over from Germany, and we enjoyed a slice of her homemade stollen cake. Ottie showed us her new guitar and amp. and I plugged her in to the effects pedal...she's going to have a lot of very noisy fun with that! Came home and cooked a potato and spring greens gratin for dinner, with some broccoli on the side. It was OK, but doesn't really make a meal...it would make a tasty side dish to have with gammon steak, or baked cod. Watched episode 3 of "Mammals" on Prime with James Corden, who is really very good in it...cracking script from Jez Butterworth.
