Woke around 0900. Hauled myself out of bed to make tea, and did some exercises before porridging. Worked at the laptop, writing up yesterday's inspection notes. Broke for lunch. Ventured into town on the No.91 bus to Trafalgar Square and popped into the National Gallery to get mum a birthday present. Then headed back east to Aldwych…Aki had designs on a Cezanne scarf she’d spotted at the Courtauld Gallery…for Helen, to mark her 70th birthday next week. Walked across Waterloo Bridge and then struck east for Union Street for dinner at Bala Baya…been there before. Delicious Levantine tapas plates, though we thought a little overpriced. Walked back along The Cut to the Old Vic. Stalls seats for Girl from the North Country. Having seen it on Wednesday, I felt heavily emotionally invested…Aki kept me supplied with tissues. Katie Brayben’s rendition of Forever Young had us in bits! Standing ovation at the end. Walked through the back streets to Blackfriars to get a train back to Finsbury Park.
