Woke around 0700. Dozed until 0830…Aki brought me a mug of tea. Got up and porridged. Worked at the laptop on the dining room table, and then migrated onto the computer. Put some lunch together before venturing out on inspections in Edgware, and Golders Green. Got home by 1600 and worked at the computer until dinner time. Aki had bought buttered chicken breast, which she roasted with potatoes…very tasty. I strapped my guitar to my back and headed for Highbury Corner…sing around at the Folk Club. Aki was headed for Book Club at No.36. Surprised to bump into Tom at the Folk Club…he used to live at No.25, but now resides in Norbury. I sang The Mingulay Boat Song, but forgot the words halfway through verse two! Seemed to go down well with certain sea faring fans in the audience. John Hegley turned up and did a couple of new poems. I sang She Moved Through the Fair in the second half, which I managed to get through without messing up. Had a brief chat with him at the end…he promised to come see Moby Dick. Caught a No.43 bus back to Holloway. Aki in the bath when I got in…
