Wednesday 19th July 2023

Woke at 0715 for some reason. Hernia repair giving me gip, so got up and made some tea. Sat at the laptop to finish downloading yesterday's photos. Wandered over to Bill’s for breakfast…they can’t seem to get their poached eggs right! Back at the hotel I packed up and checked out. Drove into the north-eastern suburbs and worked until 1300, then headed down the M4 for a lunch stop at The Green in Caerleon…can’t resist their fish finger sandwich. Ate in the car in the car park at Caerleon AFC. Headed east, stopping briefly at Reading service station. Got home around 1800. We went round to Brett’s at No.7 for our dinner. She had invited Katherine and George from No.127 (George had just got back from Uxbridge where he'd been leafleting on behalf of the Labour Party prior to tomorrow's bye-election), a German chap named Sebastian who had worked for the architects who had designed her Photographers Gallery, his husband George, who worked in niche cruise trips for medicos, and Andrew who was Finance Executive at the Gallery under Brett. Aki had cooked a tasty fried aubergine starter with miso paste; Brett had baked a huge salmon fillet with a mustard, mayonnaise and maple syrup sauce, and Katherine had made mishti doi for dessert. A very pleasant evening was had by all. Got home around 2300…
