Aki up with the lark to ready herself for Rowing Club. By the time I woke up she had already cycled off. Got up and porridged, then did a bit of prep work ahead of this week's trip to the Medway towns. Aki had lunch at the cafe in Springfield Park, so I warmed up the pasta and tomato sauce I'd made last week for my lunch, with a tasty fig salad on the side. Aki got back about 1400...she said Kersey had fallen into the canal whilst launching the rowing boat! She'd managed to shower afterward and get back on board! She's due to share a room with Aki in Potsdam on the Berlin trip. Read some Flannery O'Connor...really enjoying it...sections are uproariously funny, though a vague sinister threat remains bobbing beneath the surface. Aki baked hake in bacon for dinner. Managed to burn her left hand on the handle of the frying pan she'd heated in the oven! Sat for an hour with a glass of iced water in her hand, hoping it hadn't damaged her chances of rowing on Wednesday. Watched "Fish Tank" on BFIPlayer. Saw it first time round, but Aki hadn't seen it...a powerful piece of gritty realism set on a sink estate in Rainham, Essex, with a great performance from the mouthy Katie Jarvis, who the director discovered on a railway platform...she's now an EastEnders regular!
