Woke at 0830. Tea and “Twist” in bed. Started the Book Club read, "Silence" by Shaksuka Endo...read the introduction, which gives some historical context to the persecution of Japanese Christians in the 17th Century as Japan unified under a shogun. It sounds horrific! Got up and porridged. Pottered about until Aki had finished a stint on the computer, then did some work. Broke for lunch. Aki cycled off for an afternoon swim. I got back in the hot seat. Warmed up the remainder of the chicken chasseur which we ate with fried polenta and pickled prunes. Creme caramel for afters. Watched “Can You Ever Forgive Me?”…a true story based on Lee Israel’s memoir…she was a down at heel writer who took to forging letters purporting to be written by famous dead celebrities…cracking script and great performances from Melissa McCarthy as Lee and Richard E Grant as her nefarious chum.
