Sleep was disturbed by the sound of heavy rain on the bedroom roof at around 0430 as Storm Debi blew in. Slow start come the morning. Got up and porridged. Managed an hour or so at the computer before heading off to Colindale to take the car in for a service.

Walked the two miles from there up Camden Road to Holloway. Did another couple of hours at the computer then cooked a fish curry, and made some flatbreads. Enjoyed Tom Brady on News at Ten announcing the fact that David Cameron has been made Foreign Secretary with the words “What the heck!?” Cruella Braverman sacked into the bargain…
