Aki up at 0645 to ready herself for her trip to Ireland. I was still half asleep when she came to say farewell. Dozed for a bit then brought tea to bed. Got up and made an omelette breakfast. Glorious day…walked up Highgate Hill and had coffee on a bench in Waterlow Park. Read some Dickens. Walked home via M&S. Late lunch.
Watched the start of Ronnie the Rocket’s semi-final. Kath rang to say she had just returned from Hexham hospital where mum had had a consultation after taking a cognitive test…she had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, but it’s a slow developing strain. She has refused medication. The consultant suggested a LPA be drawn up sooner rather than later…I made a start on the Government website. Warmed up the last of the fish curry. Strapped my guitar to my back and walked down to Highbury Corner for tonight’s folk club session. Dove’s Vagaries were the guest act, a married couple who specialise in English tunes, from the Medieval to Victorian Music Hall…I did a Richard Thompson song in the first half, and Leonard Cohen’s “Heart with No Companion” in the second half. Enjoyable evening. Caught a No.43 bus home. Aki had retired for an early night, so didn’t speak, but she posted a couple of photos. Bath and bed…
