Woke around 0600…took awhile to nod back off again. Aki woke me around 0930 as she left for rowing club. I rose and made tea…porridged in bed. Read some before rising. Fantastic description by Dickens of the preparations for, and attendant crowds to witness, a hanging outside Newgate gaol, opposite the still functioning church of St Sepulchre on High Holborn. Aki back for lunch. No sign of Vince! Phoned him…he was stuck on a job in Kentish Town. Re-arranged for tomorrow afternoon…fingers crossed. A little perturbed to find a bloke on our rear extension roof! He’d been hired by upstairs neighbour to clean her windows…might have asked permission!?! The next door neighbour had granted him access via their back addition! Watched some tennis from Eastbourne, and some Glastonbury coverage. Ran through Act 2 ahead of Sunday afternoon’s run. Aki warmed up her mapo for dinner, with rice. Watched some Glastonbury coverage, in between reading Dickens.
