Alarm at 0730. Eventually rose to make porridge, iron a shirt, and put a packed lunch together. Left Aki working at the computer, and headed for Finsbury Park on the No.29. Took a tube to Oxford Circus, then the Central Line to Notting Hill Gate. Grabbed a coffee, then hooked up with Sebastian outside the first inspection...he's a young German chap from Berlin, who's been working for Savills for a few months, and needed a little chaperoning on his first internal inspections, so muggins here was given the job. He'd hired a Zip Club car, and we drove round south-west London knocking on doors for a Shepherds Bush Housing Association valuation exercise. Seb turned out to be a personable young man...he'd worked in Hong Kong prior to him and his Hong Kong-Chinese girlfriend coming to London...she's a museum exhibition curator. He was part brought up on his dad's farm, and developed a passion for hunting, and organises hunting trips to Norfolk and Scotland for like-minded Germans who want to hunt deer! We had a long day...Seb dropped me off near Victoria train station and I got in around 1915. Aki cooked a tasty mushroom risotto, followed by ice cream and chocolate brownie. Watched a bit of telly before bath and bed...
