Woke around 0730. My back was giving me a bit of gip, so decided to get up and make tea. Sat at the computer, and did some work. Porridged. Worked at the computer until 1300. Broke for lunch, and made some leek fritters. Not sure they were worth the excessive effort...but made enough to have more for tomorrow's lunch. Took a constitutional...walked up Hornsey Road to view the new Banksy...quite a crowd had gathered. Someone remarked that the £400,000 building on which it has been painted was now worth £2 million! Walked on up to Fairbridge Road, calling in on Helen at No.14 for a wee catch up on the doorstep. Popped in at the Co-op on the way home to get some mushrooms for tonight's dinner. Did a little more work at the computer before cooking dinner...garlic mushrooms and shredded chicken with bucatini and peas. Ice cream and fruit compote for afters. Nowt on telly...tried episode 1 of The Gone, but weren't impressed. Read a bit of The Miniaturist before bath and bed...
