Alarm at 0730, as Aki wanted to get used to an early start prior to heading for her rowing trip later in the week. I read in bed before rising for porridge. Had intended to do some work today, but put it off, and read instead. Ploughing through Peter Ackroyd's "Dickens" at a rate of knots. What a remarkable rise to fame young Charlie had...he was so famous by the time he'd reached 30, that great crowds followed him about on his trip to America...sort of Beatlemania. At a New York hotel he had to stand in the hallway and shake hands with an endless stream of well-wishers...it took two hours! We took the car to Waitrose late afternoon to do a shop. Aki cooked stir fried pork fillet for dinner. Managed to get through to ma and pa to check up on dad's hospital visit...he has been promised another hip operation, but given no time scale, which is frustrating. Watched a bit of telly before bed...
