Disturbed night’s sleep…hacking cough and violent bouts of sneezing. Woke up at intervals. Vocal cords in shreds. Aki got up early to ready herself for Rowing Club. I got up after she’d cycled off and brought tea and porridge back to bed with me. Read some Claire Tomalin on Dickens. Did an Italian lesson. Alerted Colin that I wouldn’t be at rehearsal this evening. Popped over to Tesco and bought mozzarella. Made a jar of marinated mozzarella with oil, garlic, herbs and lemon zest. Used it for lunch…Aki got back about 1315. Had a huge salad with salmon fillets…very tasty. Needed a lie down afterward. Weather got a bit weird…supposed to be sunny and 29C but it went very dark and rained…thunder and lightening. Checked whether or not I had covid ahead of the trip up north, by doing a test…all clear. Aki set off for town…she’s attending a surprise birthday dinner at the restaurant at the National Theatre to mark Helen’s 70th birthday. I stayed home and nursed my cold. Finished off the arrabbiata sauce with chicken and pasta. Watched a bit of telly. Aki phoned from Cally Road station to say she’d been waiting 15 minutes for buses that didn’t turn up…drove round there to pick her up. Early bath and bed…
