Aki up early to ready herself for Rowing Club. She brought me a mug of tea in bed. Got up and porridged before Aki cycled off to the River Lea. Half-watched USA v Sweden whilst pottering about. Went to penalties after a rather uneventful 120 minutes. Decided to abandon plans to head for Broomfield Park this afternoon for the free blues festival, as we fancied the ground would be sodden after yesterday's downpours, and showers are forecast for late afternoon today. Tried to get hold of Roz to see whether we might hook up with the boat this afternoon, but went to voicemail...she's probably opening a lock or something. Aki cycled home for lunch. I ventured out mid afternoon to get some odds and ends from Morrisons, and had a browse around Selby's. Came home and picked up the cake, and walked up to No.43 with it...knocked on the door expecting Vince or one of his off-spring to answer the door, but no-one home, so walked back home with it. Cooked bucatini all amatriciana for dinner, with the guanciale and tomatoes I bought yesterday on Brecknock Road. I was just about to serve up, when the doorbell rang and Vince showed up, with Paul from No.27 in tow...he wanted to sound Paul out about repairing the gaping holes he'd left in our plasterboard. Vince took the cake with him to feed his off-spring. Ate dinner, washed down with a glass of prosecco. Nowt much on telly...watched silly reality TV show "Alone" on C4...11 Brits are lowered into the Canadian wilderness to fend for themselves, on their own, with just a few basic tools...needless to say, there are loads of bears!
