Tuesday 13th June 2023

Alarm at 0730. Dozed to the radio until 0815. Got up and porridged. Did a little work at the computer. Aki cycled off to Camden for a meeting. I took public transport to Canary Wharf, taking the No.43 bus to Monument, then walked to Bank and caught the DLR to South Quay. Hot already! Spent the day knocking on doors in an 8-storey modern block, trying to get into as many as possible. Broke for lunch at a nearby Pret a Manger, then returned to the block to perambulate the upper storeys. One woman had decided to rip up the flooring in her living-room, intending to replace it, and planned to spend £7,000 on a new kitchen, so fed up was she with Peabody's response to her complaints about the appalling kitchen units she was forced to put up with. She had three very hairy house cats, called Picasso, Reubens, and Renoir! Got home around 1830. Showered. Aki cooked a mushroom risotto for dinner. Worked at the computer for a bit before watching the News and bed...
