Alarm at 0745. Hauled myself out of bed to make tea. Porridged. Headed for my car. Bit icy this morning, so had to apply de-icer to my windscreen...got collared by Andrew from No.49. He kept me talking in the sub-zero temperatures for about 15 minutes! Eventually made my escape, and headed back up the M11, stopping at Costa at Manor House for coffee on the way. Stopped at Birchanger Green Service station to use the facilities, then drove into Bishops Stortford. Parked up, and walked around the Oak Street/Trinity Way sheltered scheme, knocking on doors. Got into 10 units before heading back to the car to warm up. Drove back to Birchanger Green, and ate my packed lunch in the car in the car park. Got chatting to the tenant of No.6 Burley Road during the afternoon shift, as he had several guitars in the living-room, and photos of the Sex Pistols on the stairwell walls...he had been in a band, and gave me a CD...they were called Guns of History...fortunately, I no longer have a CD player in the car! Finished for the day with some internals on Scott Road, then headed for home. Popped in to Waitrose to pick up some odds and ends for Aki. Got home and warmed up the parmigiana lasagne for dinner. Aki had a small portion prior to heading up to No.127 for the Book Club meet. I stayed home and read some Dickens and ran through the Robbie Burns song. I sent the Book Club a short email stating that I had to decided to step away after an entertaining seven years...
