Woke around 0800. Aki cycled off to Rowing Club. I headed for Stamford Hill on inspections for Agudas Israel Housing Association. It seems to be a Jewish holiday, with loads of chaos wandering the streets in their big furry hats. Needless to say, I failed to get into any of the subject properties. Headed onward to Canvey Island…quite a sizeable Jewish community had built up there over the last decade or so. Again, no luck getting in to any houses…suits me!
Had completed inspections by lunchtime, so paid homage to Wilko Johnson by seeking out his favourite pub, the Lobster Smack, for lunch…had the fish sandwich and chunky chips! Took a look at the jetty made famous by the Dr Feelgood song, and ventured over the sea wall to have a go at replicating their first album cover. Drove home. Got home at 1530. Picked up my altered trousers from the dry cleaner up the road…they look good. Did some work at the computer. Aki put a garlic and mushroom pasta dish together for dinner. Ran through some songs ahead of tomorrow night's planned visit to Islington Folk Club. Watched the highlights of the European Champions League quarter-finals. Arsenal kept Real Madrid at bay, and will play PSG in the semi-finals...
