Woke around 0900. Aki already up and working at the computer. I watched Olympic coverage on the telly. Pizza for lunch, with a bit of side salad. We walked up Highgate Hill after lunch to get some much needed exercise. I left Aki in Waterlow Park, and walked back down the hill to the Whittington Hospital for an appointment with the Hernia Hub. Managed to catch some Olympic coverage on the telly in the waiting room! The consultant recommended I go for an op...since I have already had keyhole surgery and mesh inserted, they will have to go in for open surgery...but he recommended we go for it, as there is a 17% risk of a strangulation. He reckoned surgery would take place in about 6 months...hope they manage to fit it in before I'm due to fly to Japan in March! Walked home via Dev's, to pick up a couple of prescription orders before we head north for the summer. Drove Aki round to Kearsey's on the Harringay Ladder where the rowing gals were to celebrate Kearsey's birthday. I dropped Aki off on Beresford Road, and headed home via the petrol station at Manor House. Warmed up some fish curry for dinner, with rice, naan, and greens. Watched more Olympics. Aki came home via taxi...seemed to have enjoyed Kearsey's vegetarian cooking. Shower and bed...
