Alarm at 0730. Dozed to the radio until 0815. Got up and porridged. Aki cycled off to Rowing Club. Another hot day in prospect. Did a little prep work before driving off to Harlesden. Picked up some inspections in Pentonville, Maida Vale, and Queens Park on the way. Stopped for a coffee at Gail's in Kensal Rise, then ate my lunch in the car on a street adjacent to Roundwood Park. The estate in Harlesden was grim...tiny one-bed flats in a 50s era block. One guy's living-room was dominated by a drum kit and recording equipment...there was nowhere to sit! The streets outside were home to numerous crackheads, who staggered about shouting and grunting in the sunshine. Drove home for dinner...Aki warmed up the poulet a la moutarde for dinner, which she served up with some orzo. Finished off her lemon cake for dessert. Did a bit more work at the computer before watching the News. Shower and bed...
