Fasting this morning ahead of another blood test. Aki up and away for Rowing Club. I walked round to the GP to pick up the blood test request form, then headed for Laycock Street for a noon appointment. I was tended to by a very loud nurse of African descent who told me she loved my straw stetson and kept calling me “Cowboy Richard”…as I left she insisted on high-fiving me and I let out a loud “Yee-haw!”. Lord knows what the rest of the clinic thought!!! Treated myself to a coffee for brunch, and sat on a nice new wooden bench in Highbury Fields. Walked home via Selby’s …bought some safety pins. Got home at same time as Aki. Slung lunch together…chicken salad. Watched the last of the quarter finals…Sinner hitting imperious form just at the right time! That bloke has superhuman hand-eye co-ordination! Early dinner. Garlic and mushroom pasta…used a rice spaghetti…it was odd, but has a pleasant nutty quality. Put our new folding deck chairs in the car boot and drove to Stoke Newington. Managed to find a parking space in front of the shopping parade…short walk across the A10 with our chairs on our shoulders…they are super light…to Abney Park Cemetery to watch Moving Parts adaptation of “Vanity Fair”, which Simona has directed…a few Tower stalwarts in the cast, and indeed in the audience. The adaptation is crisp and concise, and the simple staging worked a treat…good stuff! Got home around 2200…bath and bed.
