Woke around 0845. Aki up to start work at the computer. I made tea and got back into bed to read some Dickens. Got up and porridged. Spent most of what remained of the morning listening to music, and reading Dickens. Soup for lunch. Rang ma and pa. Dad has been cheered by receiving a very low PSA count, which suggests the treatment is working...all good news. Cooked an early dinner...harissa pork sausage ragu with pappardelle. Walked to Stoke Newington for a 1930 show. Bumped into Stephen Brasher at a bus stop...persuaded him to walk with me, and had a chat about the rehearsed reading he's putting together for next week...a piece by Gore Vidal, his only play for the stage. About 70 in tonight. Went pretty well, though my guitar keeps wandering out of tune, especially in the second half...dunno why. Matthew Vickers and Kate were in...had a brief chat at the bar about out umbilical hernias, then accompanied them to the bus stop. Got home around 2230. Bath and bed...
