Alarm at 0730. Got up after the News at 0810 and porridged. Warmed up some soup to take as a packed lunch. Aki cycled off to the Rowing Club. Headed for Thamesmead, stopping off at M&S in Charlton on the way, and then picking Zeke up on Yarnton Way, where I'd left him yesterday evening. I sent him off on inspections of a long 5-storey block of concrete framed flat accommodation that would probably take all day to cover. I resumed inspections of the three-storey concrete framed houses. Found one damaged by fire, and another with chronic mould and a continual stream of water leaking in to the hallway from the downstairs cloakroom...I recommended she contact her local MP, or the Housing Ombudsman. Broke for lunch and drove us to the Sainsburys superstore in Abbey Wood. Ate my packed lunch in the car in the under croft car park. Then it was back to where we'd left off. Called it a day just after 1600, as it was getting uncomfortably hot, and my feet were hurting. Dropped Zeke at his motor, and drove home, stopping at M&S for a cold Coke from the cafe. Got home about 1830. Cooked up some mushrooms, and covered them with the noci pasta sauce I'd made a few days ago...we ate it with the turmeric pasta. Finished the Book Club read...a sad and traumatic tale told with a gently epic sweep, and a humane touch. Enjoyed it, though...very well written.
