Slow start after a busy day yesterday. Read a bit of "Twist" in bed with a mug of tea, and Aki brought me a bowl of fruit and yoghurt for breakfast. Kath FaceTimed from High View...everyone looked in good shape. There seems to be some movement from the NHS on the notion of getting dad's hip opped...see what happens in the New Year. I cooked a late brunch, black beans and tomatoes with eggs and avocado, fried polenta, and toast. Aki cycled off to Waitrose to get some odds and ends. I drove over to Stoke Newington for 'band' rehearsal. Parked near B's, but took some air and walked down the High Street for a quick coffee at Pret. B has decorated her flat...looks good. She made me a revolting mug of chai, with turmeric, soy milk, and vanilla! We worked on the Diane Cluck song, Sara...not sure about it, as Diane goes off key deliberately in her recording, but it just sounds as if B can't sing when she tries it. Also worked on P J Harvey's I Inside the Old I Dying, and Leonard Cohen's Heart With No Companion. Agreed to try and meet up again next weekend. Drove home. Cooked dinner...pork belly with pickled prunes, sauteed potatoes, apple, and chestnut...very tasty. The pickled prunes will go well with Christmas dinner. Watched a bit of telly before bath and bed...
