Alarm at 0730. Dozed for a bit before rising...it's going to be hot today, so thought I ought to try and get on the beat earlier rather than later. Aki cycled off to Rowing Club. I drove back out to Amhurst Road. Kath FaceTimed me as I roamed the streets....she had an x-ray on her hand this morning, which has been mysteriously swollen...we await the results. She said the Emma and Jim had departed 12 High View, and were now living in the van, somewhere. Broke for lunch with a visit to Somine, a favourite haunt of old when I lived in Clapton...little Turkish cafe with generous helpings of meat, stew, rice, Turkish bread, and salad. Ended the working day in Highbury, with temperatures hitting 27C...decided to go home early and write up some notes. Aki put together a salad Nicoise for dinner. Watched a bit of telly. Over-joyed to learn that Boris has resigned as an MP with immediate effect, he having caught sight of the report into accusations of misleading Parliament over partygate. Now Labour just need to find a charismatic leader!?!
