Woke around 0800. Got up and made tea. Porridged. Put a packed lunch together. Set off for west London, via Manor House to pick up some petrol, and a coffee. Cold but bright day. Parked up near Ladbroke Grove tube station and walked the streets, knocking on doors. All the stock is flat conversions in 4-storey Victorian terraced houses or villas on the Notting Hill border. Not in great condition internally...usual Peabody quality...not good! Broke for lunch...sat in the car and ate my lunch, then warmed up with a tea in The Knight, a pub across the road. More foot slogging after lunch, but broke a little early, as I'd had enough...got home around 1700. Warmed up some puttanesca sauce, which we had with linguine. Aki went out for the Book Club meet. I watched Liverpool knock Spurs out of the League Cup...they meet Newcastle in the final next month. Aki came back...they'd chosen "Prophet Song" by Paul Lynch as their next read. I might dip into that one myself, once I've finished "The Old Curiosity Shop".
