Woke around 0830. Aki up to ready herself for Rowing Club. Brought me a mug of tea. Aki cooked breakfast. Nice cheesy omelette. She cycled off, and I got in front of the computer to do a couple of hours work. Broke to make lunch...had the poached fig, with paneer, parma ham, and toast. Aki rang to say she'd spotted Tim and Lynne (an actorly couple I'd worked with at Stoke), whom Aki had met in Bury St Edmunds when we went up for Tim's 60th birthday earlier in the year, on their barge, Johannes, near Tottenham Hale! They had managed to exchange a few words in transit. Amazing! I ventured out once the Arsenal v Spurs game had kicked off...did a little shop in Waitrose, and called in on the Italian pasta maker in the new food hall above the Nags Head Market...bought some of his delicious tortelloni. Came home and cooked a pizzaiola sauce, and then made dinner, a chick pea and aubergine stew, with a rich tomato sauce, which we ate with vegetables; ice cream and banana for afters. Watched a bit of the Wales v Australia rugby World Cup game. Noticed that Newcastle had beaten Sheffield United by a rugby score this afternoon. Sunderland, on the other hand...
