Woke around 0900. Got up and porridged. We walked up Tufnell Park Road, making our way to Brecknock Road to pick up a baguette from the Italian deli. Had a coffee at Humdingers, then walked on down Camden Road to Camden Garden Centre where Aki bought spring bulbs. Had a wander round the eateries at Hawley’s Wharf looking for possible venues for dinner on Thursday. Ended up booking a table at De Gusto, a little Italian joint opposite Camden Road station. Got a No.253 bus back to Holloway. Made Turkish scrambled eggs with fried halloumi for lunch. Phoned ma and pa. Dad mentioned something about having to bail Jim out, as he’s being chased by HMRC! Failed to glean any further detail. Aki did some gardening out front. Warmed up some fish pie for dinner, with cabbage; semolina pudding for afters. Started re-watching Wolf Hall ahead of tomorrow's screening of The Mirror & the Light. It's superbly done...beautifully lit and shot, with a supremely controlled performance from Mark Rylance. Watched MOTD before bath and bed...
