Slow to rise once more...Aki brought me a mug of tea, and I read a little "Twist" in bed. Got up and cooked black beans and eggs for breakfast, with avocado and toast. Walked down to Highbury Corner to join the pro-Palestinian demonstration. Looked a bit sparse when we arrived, but as the speakers took to their loud-hailers, the crowd swelled, and there were apparently about 2,000 of us by the time we set off on the short march along Upper Street to Islington Green, past numerous delicatessens brazenly selling tofu! Not sure we made much of a difference, save for slowing down the buses travelling southward toward the Angel. We peeled away once we got to the Green, and browsed the antiques shops in Camden Passage, and looked in vain for Xmas presents in Muji. Hopped on a No.43 bus back to Holloway, and did some shopping in Waitrose. Aki cooked a spelt mushroom risotto for dinner. Stayed up to watch Later with Jools... before crashing out, exhausted after our revolutionary day!
