Alarm at 0730. Aki had made me a Happy 2nd Anniversary card...with two pieces of toast on the front, toasting the occassion. I gave her the card I'd bought yesterday in Waitrose in Whetstone...which featured two slices of toast toasting the occassion! Porridged, then threw a packed lunch together before heading west to pick up Seb in Kilburn. Had to pop in to his flat to use the facilities...and mistook his flat mate for his girlfriend, which was a trifle embarrassing. Drove on to the Roundwood Estate in Harlesden, where we split up and knocked on doors in two 50s era blocks of flats...some were in appalling condition internally, one in particular where an ageing Asian fella was obviously unable to cope with looking after himself, let alone is disabled wife! The place would benefit from a gutting! Broke for lunch...parked up at Tescos in Harlesden...glamorous! Returned to the Roundwood Estate for a short afternoon session. Between us we got into about 40 units, which is a good haul. Dropped Seb back home, then drove back to N7. Got home in good time. Didi a little work at the computer, before walking Aki round to Osteria Tufo for our anniversary dinner. Burrata to start, followed by a very tasty spinach and mushroom lasagne. Aki had monkfish stew with pasta. We shared a tiramisu for afters, and walked home to watch the Murray v Tsitsipas match. It was postponed with Murray leading by 2 sets to 1.
