Woke around 0830. Got up and made tea. Sat at the computer for a bit before porridging. Broke at 1230 for lunch. Aki cooked up an udon noodle soup with egg. Climbed into the car afterward and did some inspections in Crouch End, Belsize Park, and Kentish Town before heading home. Aki cooked hake with beans for dinner. Walked up to St Saviour's for gospel choir rehearsal. Bumped into Simon from No.41...he confirmed that there had been a death at No.40 Saturday morning, though he couldn't confirm that it was Johnny. Didn't seem to be quite as many as usual, but we are sounding good! Walked some of the way home with Jean, one of the few black brethren in the choir...she's retired, and enjoying turning her small garden into an allotment. Got home and watched MasterChef. My skin complaint has flared up in my right groin...can hardly walk, it's so sore...had a soak in the bath and applied plenty of mometasone cream thereafter in the hope that it'll have calmed down by morning...
