Woke around 0745…got up and brought tea back to bed. Aki cycled off to buy bread from the Farmer’s Market…I prepared brunch. Lovely sunny day. Did some tidying up in the bedroom. Exercised. George from No.127 knocked on our door to tell Aki that Waitrose were selling tomato plants on the cheap. Asked how we'd gotten on in Japan, I replied that we'd come back to a shit hole...he and Katherine having just gotten back from Kerala, stated that they though London looked like Zurich in comparison...it's all relative! Popped out to put bets on the Grand National...very helpful Paddy Power employee in there who recommended I place each way bets, as they are paying out on the top eight finishes, rather astonishingly! Senior Chief came in 7th at 33/1…our other two horses were nowhere to be seen. Still, it should mean we get our stake money back. Walked to Stroud Green to do some shopping in Tesco. Back home, warmed up some packet rice, and dal, for dinner. Watched “The Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson” via YouTube, ahead of next week’s visit to see the stage version in Southwark. MOTD followed by bath. Very noisy music from a nearby party meant I stayed up surfing the computer for a bit…looking for recommended wireless Bluetooth speakers…
