Woke around 0745. Got up and brought tea back to bed. Eventually rose...porridged. Did my exercises. Half an hour at the computer...it takes 15 minutes to sign in to the Savills remote working page! Still, I get paid by the hour! Aki made lunch, then went off to the hairdresser's on Essex Road. I met her at 1500 at the Barbican...we had tickets for the Noah Davis exhibition...a black artist based in LA who focussed on the black experience in America...big hearted, joyous paintings...really enjoyed it. 

Stuck our heads in at the theatre stage door to see if Bobby K was on shift...and he was! Hadn't seen him for a couple of years. Sat and chatted for a bit...he promised to come see "Moby Dick" at the Tower. Walked to Moorgate station and caught a train home...popped into M&S to buy risotto rice and then walked home. Aki cooked a chicken and mushroom risotto. Watched a bit of telly before bath and bed…
