Sleep was interrupted on a couple of occassions by Aki's coughing. She rose early to make herself a mug of hot water with lemon and ginger, which she brought back to bed. I got up around 0800 and did a little work at the computer before porridging. Put lunch together. Wrapped asparagus in parma ham and fried them...yummy, with poached eggs. Needed some exercise, so walked down to Islington council's offices on Upper Street to try and find out why the online system wasn't allowing me to pay for our parking permit. Mahreen tried and failed, but then came up with a workaround and we finally got it done...I high-fived her and promised to be back same time next year! Wandered up to Euphorium for a coffee, and read the Prologue to the current Book Club choice, A Golden Age, by Tahmima Aman...beautifully written, with a gentle poetic undertow. Walked back via Waitrose. Cooked a lentil and mushroom 'shepherd's' pie for dinner, served up with broccoli and peas, followed by crumble and custard. Aki coughing a lot this evening, so went to bed early. I had a bath...
