Another fitful night's sleep. Aki brought me a mug of tea in bed before she cycled off to Rowing Club. I got up about 1030 and cooked brunch. Kath rang...she was taking the air between clients in Whitley Bay. She told me that dad had been planning to have his teeth whitened...I wondered if perhaps he was considering a late career in film and TV!?! I unloaded my gear from the boot of the car. Aki cycled home, having had a light lunch at the cafe. Got a message from Sarah Ley saying they had found a replacement for the actor who had suddenly dropped out of The Chines…much relieved, as I was just about to send a message turning her down. She asked if I was available to dress up as Santa at the end of the month, to which I acquiesced. Pottered about before warming up the harissa sausage ragu for dinner, followed by tiramisu. Felt weary enough to have a lie down for a bit before watching Anna Maxwell Martin in a serial killer true crime tale…pretty tense stuff. Watched The Ten before bath and bed…
