Woke around 0730. Got up and made tea. Had put a couple of small bowls of oats in the fridge overnight...had them with fruit, chia seeds, and syrup of figs. No sign of any movement, though! Aki cycled off to Highbury pool for a swim. Worked at the computer until lunchtime. Aki threw together a ham salad on her return. Managed to do a couple more hours. Baked a cake to take to Book Club this evening. Aki helped icing it...it looked less than impressive! She then cooked a fish curry out of the Nisha Katona cookbook I'd bought in Mowgli on Monday night. It was nowhere near as good as our Goan fish curry recipe...tasted like soap! Drove Aki up to the Book Club meet at No.127, cake in an old shoe box. Full turn out this evening save for Katherine. George was hosting. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed "Trust", though there was a little gentle criticism of the novel's contrivances...but all novels are contrived to a greater of lesser extent. The cake went down well. We chose "Wise Blood" by Flannery O'Connor for the next read. Walked back down Sussex Way with Carlos and Jane, who had only returned from the States yesterday. Carlos flagged up the August blues weekends in Broomfield park as up-coming, and promised to alert us when they planned to go...
