Woke just before 0900. Got up to make tea, which we drank in bed. Aki eventually rose to make breakfast...omelette and side salad. Sat and read "A Burning"...it's very easy to read, and I feel like I'm zipping through it. Cycled off to Stoke Newington at 1415. I'm on the General Company Auditions Panel again. Got there a little early...so bought tea and a doughnut from the cafe across the road...needed to warm my hands on something after the cycle ride! Two elder members of the Tower shared panel duties with me, Peter, and Richard, neither of whom I'd come across before. Stephen Brasher joined us, too, as there were only three auditionees. Two weren't bad and were urged to join our burgeoning throng, but Claudia, an Italian with a heavy accent, failed on this showing...needs a bit of coaching, methinks, before she tries again! I cycled home through Clissold Park. Cooked roast chicken legs on a trivet of soffrito, which I then used in aid of making a gravy. Roast potatoes, shallots and garlic cloves, with broccoli and carrot on the side, followed by the last of the strawberry sponge cake Aki had taken to Katrina's birthday bash on Wednesday night. FaceTimed Kath, who was at mum and dad's celebrating her 62nd birthday. Dad was cooking a beef curry, with homemade naan breads! Listened to some music...Pacific Walker are a new discovery...intriguing, beguiling. Watched the last ever episode of "Happy Valley"...rather unexpected ending, with the baddie almost finding redemption at PC Cawood's kitchen table before setting himself alight...all rather unbelievable, in the final analysis.
