Aki up with the alarm at 0730. She brought me a mug of tea. Got up and porridged, and put together a packed lunch. Did an hour at the computer after Aki had cycled off to Rowing Club, then climbed into the automobile. Headed south, crossing the River at Tower Bridge. Inspections took me to Rotherhithe, where I briefly took in the view of the River from Surry Docks, then on to Bermondsey, and Camberwell, before doubling back to Sainsburys at New Cross Gate, where I lunched in the car park...did a little shop in Sainsburys and picked up a coffee in Starbucks, then headed southward to East Dulwich, and Forest Hill. Managed to get into eleven units, which was pretty good. Traffic very heavy on the homeward leg, especially the long approach to Tower Bridge...got home at 1900. Aki had warmed up the mapo and rice for dinner. Watched "Race Around the World"...the teams kicked off in Sapporo, and worked their way down to Nara. Watched The Ten before shower and bed...
