Friday 10th May 2024

Slow start this morning. Aki looking a bit perkier this morning. Got up and porridged before throwing a sardine salad packed lunch together, and heading off in the car on inspections in east London. Made for Bethnal Green, and Poplar, before heading out to Leyton and Walthamstow. Stopped in the car park at Leyton Flats and ate my lunch...lovely sunny day. Ended the working day in Edmonton, then turned for home. Got in around 1715. I made dinner...Aki still feeling a bit weak. I poached a salmon fillet in milk with cloves and onion, and used the milk to make a tasty sauce afterward...ate the salmon with sauteed potatoes and vegetables. Watched "The Boys in the Boat", a rather lame George Clooney-directed film following the exploits of an under-dog US varsity rowing team who end up taking gold at Hitler's 1936 Olympic Games...it was all very sub-Chariots of Fire, I'm afraid. They made some of the film in London, and bequeathed the 30s era replica rowing boat to Aki's Rowing Club.
