Terrible night’s sleep…sinuses completely blocked…couldn’t breath through my nose. Tried sitting up in the hope that gravity might clear things up, but to no avail. Finally nodded off around 0430! Aki got up at 1000 to find the 14th Anniversary card and chocolates I’d left on the dining table before bed last night. Thought I ought to do a Covid test…Aki popped across the road and bought a test kit…all clear! 

Aki cycled off to Waitrose to get something for dinner…and returned with two duck legs a l’orange. I read some Old Curiosity Shop, and then made some lunch. Practised some harmonica on the Dylan song; and started trying to figure out Dick Gaughan’s guitar part on Now Westlin Winds with Burns Night in mind. Aki cooked dinner. We shared a small bottle of champagne. Nowt on telly so rehearsed some festive ukulele before watching The Ten. Bath and bed…
