Aki up and away early to get herself to Rowing Club...she's helping guide a party of seven French rowers down the River Lea to Limehouse today. I got up at 0930. Porridged at the computer. Worked through until 1345. Made some lunch, and cooked a pizzaiola sauce to have with some tortelloni for dinner tonight. Walked to Finsbury Park station and took a Piccadilly Line train to Holborn, ambling round to the Garden Cinema in Parker Street, where I had purchased a £5 ticket for this afternoon's showing of "Blackbird, Blackbird, Blackberry". Got home at 1815. Aki had warmed up the pasta sauce, and we ate hastily before walking up to St Saviour's for Gospel Choir rehearsal. Bit of a low turnout this evening, but enjoyed learning a couple of new tunes. Walked home in the balmy evening air, popping in at Tesco's on the way to buy some milk. Watched MasterChef before The Ten, and then jumped in a bath. Read some more Dickens on the sofa afterward, before finally retiring for the night...Aki already fast asleep after a busy day on the water.
