Monday 16th June 2025

Woke around 0700 feeling a little uncomfortable in the bad hernia repair area, so got up and brought tea back to bed. Read for a while before rising to porridge. Warm day. Aki did a little work at the computer. I put strap locks on my new guitar strap and attached it to the new guitar. Lunched on the last of Aki’s phad thai before walking to Finsbury Park and hopping a Victoria Line train to Oxford Circus. Aki bought a pair of sandals in Clark’s, and a pair of modern looking loafers in Camper. Walked up to the Regent Street cinema…recently refurbished, but the oldest cinema in London. We were buying ice cream when Katherine from No.127 rocked up unexpectedly…we’d told her we were going to see Attenborough’s “Ocean” when we met yesterday afternoon. £6 tickets on Mondays and Tuesdays…bargain…though there were only a dozen in the audience, so I don’t know how they make it work! Interesting film looking at the state of our oceans, and the damage bottom trawling fishing does to the ocean bed. However, there was a note of hopefulness, if the powers that be can agree to creating generous ocean protection zones off shore. Found ourselves squeezing onto the Victoria Line during rush hour. Walked home from Finsbury Park via the Turkish convenience store. I put together a tasty Salade Nicoise for dinner and we caught up with the tennis from Queen’s. Aki nodded off and then took to her bed early. I followed after The Ten..
