Woke around 0800, feeling weary. Aki brought tea. Got up and porridged, and got my packed lunch together. Set off southward at 0930, the Isle of Dogs being the first port of call. Stopped off at the ASDA opposite Crossharbour DLR station, to use the facilities. Then I pointed the car south of the river, via the Rotherhithe Tunnel. Stopped for lunch in the car park at Sainsbury's in New Cross. Then it was on to Bromley, Croydon, Thornton Heath, and Raynes Park, before ending the working day in Clapham. Turned for home. Got in just after 1900. Aki was just sitting down to her dinner...I followed about 15 minutes later. Had the chicken and mushroom pasta sauce with tagliatelle. Watched the first episode of ITV's "The Long Shadow", outlining the stories behind the victims of Peter Sutcliffe...Toby Jones plays the dogged detective, and the 70s era clothing and decor etc are well done...bit of a grim tale, though!
