Aki up early to ready herself for site visit in Harringay. I got up and brought porridge and green tea back to bed with me. Read for a bit and did an Italian lesson. Eventually hauled myself out of bed. Worked through Act 2 ahead of this evening’s rehearsal. RoofPro fella turned up around 1130. He parked up in a tiny Smart Car…he assured me he had a ladder! It was one of those telescopic ones. Got up onto the butterfly roof…it’s a bit of a mess…large chunks of render have come away from the brickwork to the party wall with the church, exposing the brickwork which is spalling. He cleaned the bits of brick and render from the central gutter into two rubble bags I purchased from the boys over the road. He had a look at leaks to our flat roof…reckoned rain was getting blown into the gap between our extension and next doors’. Not sure I found that very convincing, tbh. He went away promising to get a quote to me.
Made some lunch…Aki eating out, so just me. Fried up some Stornoway black pudding…it’s so good! Aki back about 1430. I looked at Act 1 before warming up defrosted chicken cacciatore…had it with lots of vegetables and mashed potatoes…delicious! Drove over to Stokey for rehearsal on Stoke Newington Common. Warm evening…so there were quite a lot of locals about, picnicking or playing ball games. Useful rehearsal allowing people to suss out how much vocal power they are going to have to bring to the outdoor shows. Finished around 2130 as it was getting dark. Drove home, dropping Peta off on Brownswood Road as per usual.
