Tuesday 15th July 2025

Woke around 0745. Aki got up to make tea. Read in bed for a bit before rising to porridge. Did some exercises. Rather grey, overcast day. Bought a new rug online from Case…to go beneath the dining table. Slung lunch together. We ventured into town, walking up to Finsbury Park station and taking the Victoria line to Warren Street. Wandered down Tottenham Court Road past the tents of the homeless dossing in plain sight…some very ragged, barefoot folk crisscrossing the busy road…they look like castaways on a desert island! Went to Heals to order our Robin Day furniture…questions arose regarding ease of delivery, and a site visit from the couriers was booked in for next week. Caught a No.29 bus home. Aki cooked mackerel with miso paste for dinner. I drove off to Stokey for rehearsals. Met at the theatre rather than on the Common, as there was a threat of rain. I was disappointed to find my voice not in good shape as we rehearsed the new shanty…but the crew kick in for the chorus, so I can drop out then. Reworked the Moby Dick sequence in Act 2 before breaking at 2200. I drove home, dropping Peta off outside The Brownswood…
