Saturday 5th August 2023

Woke around 0800. Aki got up and made tea. Got up to watch the Japan v Norway game...I prepared the salad portion of the brunch, and Aki cooked up a mushroom omelette at half-time to have with it. Japan were pretty good...put some lovely flowing moves together at times, and deserved to come out 3-1 winners. Grey, wet day. Drove over to Manor House with a couple of guitars for Angus the luthier to look at for me...left them with him. Drove to Waitrose and did a little shop...bought fish for dinner tonight. Vince had arrived by the time I got back...he'd found another leak behind the shower tap gubbins, which meant he had to remove even more plasterboard! Won't be much left at this rate!!! I lent a hand, sawing wood, and nipping to the DIY store to gets bits and pieces for him. Aki treated him to a lunch of pork gyoza, and egg soup. He left about 1700 having finally got the new shower tap cartridge fixed in place, so we can shower tonight. Disappointed to see Reading get off to a losing start to the season, losing at home to Peterborough...we are now in League One in to the bargain! Aki made a bean stew to have with the haddock for dinner...it was a bit bland. Baked a cake this evening and had a go at icing it...it's very frustrating...lots of little niggly imperfections that spoilt the effect. Gave up at 1030 for shower and bed...
