Monday 16th December 2024

Woke around 0700...dozed on for a bit. Got up and brought a mug of tea back to bed with me. We got up around 0900 and porridged. Aki worked at the computer for most of the morning. I popped out to Waitrose to get some supplies. Came home and prepared a tasty ploughman's lunch, using one of the pork pies Aki had borrowed from the Rowing Club yesterday. Worked on "Now Westlin' Wind" on the guitar, hoping to simplify a version for Aki to strum along to by the time we get to Burns' Night in January. Warmed up the last of the chicken and bean stew, which we ate with rice and vegetables. Watched the final episode of The Mirror and the Light…very moved by Mark Rylance’s performance and the dignity he brought to Cromwell as he mounted the scaffold to meet his Maker.
