Sunday 30th July 2023

Woke around 0715 feeling uncomfortable...abdomen feels very bloated. Got up and made tea, and drank some Laxido. Turned the telly on and watched the NZ v Switzerland game...the Ferns were knocked out of the competition after a dull 0-0 draw. The Laxido did it's job. Aki cycled off to Rowing Club. I took a hike up Highgate Hill for a latte at Gail's, then walked back down via Waterlow Park and M&S, about 3.5 miles all told. Got home in time to put lunch together before Aki got back. Very wet afternoon. Read some "Pickwick Papers"...the writing is sublime, effortlessly flowing like liquid gold. Aki warmed up the vegetable stew she made midweek, and added chicken thighs, orzo, and mushrooms to beef up the flavours, as it was a bit bland. Very tasty! Watched "Everybody Hates Me" on the BFI Player...well acted comedy 'horror' set in a rattling Devonshire mansion. It was tense in that the main character was so cringe-worthy!
