Aki up early to ready herself for Rowing Club. I woke around 0815 and made tea...got back into bed and read some "Milkman". Got up and started up the computer. Porridged on coarse cut oats...very dense, a bit like eating quick drying cement mortar. Worked until 1115, then took my constitutional, walking up Highgate Hill to Gail's...took a takeaway latte into Waterlow Park, and sat on a bench to read more "Milkman". Happened upon a little historical plaque in one of the little shops fronting Highgate Hill...it had been run as a butcher's for many decades, the butcheress having three sons, one of whom became a local fishmonger, one a dentist, and one other took over the butchery. The text informed me that the brothers were known locally as "Fishy", "Toothy" and "Porky"! Walked back down the hill, popping into M&S to get milk and leaf salad. Aki back home by the time I got in. I threw lunch together, then got back in front of the computer. No sign of the much heralded Storm Agnes...in fact, it's quite warm out. Aki made a pork and black bean stew for dinner, with a little cake and banana ice cream for afters. Watched "Race Around the World". I made a butter bean and chilli oil dish to stick in the fridge...tasty on salads. Shower and bed...
