Woke around 0830. Aki brought me a mug of tea. Got up and porridged. Threw a packed lunch together, and set off for east London. Inspections in Silvertown, then double-backed to cross Tower Bridge, for stops in Southwark, before heading south to Norwood...lunched in the car park at Tesco in Streatham. Crossed Lambeth Bridge, and ended the day in Marylebone, before turning for home. Got in around 1700. Worked at the computer for a bit. Walked up to No.127 where Katherine & George were hosting dinner for us, Brett from No.7, and Matthew, who works with Katherine on the community gardens, and his partner Peter. Matthew had had a short career as a theatre practitioner, and director, so we swapped tales of our experiences. The food was great...Katherine and George had cooked a tasty vegetarian bean chilli, with a delicious aubergine ratatouille, followed by Brett's raspberry cheesecake. Very pleasant evening. Got home about 2215 and ran a bath before bed...
