Woke around 0245 by violent coughing. Had to get up and make myself some tea. Sat on the sofa for an hour listening to music through my headphones. Got back into bed and eventually nodded back off. Aki up early to ready herself for Rowing Club. I got up a little after she had departed. Worked at the computer for a few hours, catching up. Made myself a tasty smoked salmon brunch. Aki returned having souped at the cafe. We walked to the Picturehouse in Finsbury Park to see “A Complete Unknown”….fabulous film dramatising the rise of Bob Dylan in early 60s New York, culminating in the famous gig at Newport in 1965 when he went electric, triggering his ejection from the folk music community that had helped create him…great performances from Chalamet as Dylan, and Ed Norton as Pete Seeger. It was all rather overwhelming. Walked home…Aki cooked mapo for dinner. Not much on the telly. watched a bit of MOTD2 before bath and bed...
