Friday 20th June 2025

Woke around 0700…Aki rising early to take herself off to the funeral of a rowing mate in Watford. I’m fasting ahead of a blood test, so I stayed in bed dozing in between bits of Dickens. Got up around 1130. Did a bit of beard trimming before heading for Archway on foot…another hot day so took it slowly. Got there in good time. Whilst waiting in the waiting area I glanced at the request form I’d been handed at the entrance only to find it referred to the pre-op test I’d had in April. I had to phone the GP and get them to send an updated digital request, which was printed out and handed to me…five vials were required! After I’d been bled, I enquired as to whether I had enough blood left to make the walk home! I’d intended to lunch nearby, but didn’t feel hungry. Walked home instead. Aki back from Watford. I lunched on peanut butter on toast and watched some tennis…Jack Draper won through to the semifinals. Aki cooked noodles with prawns and vegetables for dinner…very tasty. Watched some telly. Rehearsed some tunes ahead of tomorrow’s rehearsal at the Tower. Another muggy night. Bath and bed…
