Woke around 0330 but got back to sleep again OK…woke again around 0730…dozed before getting up and bringing tea back to bed. Aki up preparing herself a packed lunch. Got up and porridged. Aki left for JCUK lunchtime get-together in west London. Did my exercises. Lunched. Set off for Holborn and a return visit to the Garden Cinema. Watched Di Caprio’s new movie, One Battle After Another…well put together, good performances (Sean Penn as watchable as always)…but what a load of old nonsense…stretched my credibility too far! Caught a bus to Oxford Circus and hooked up with Aki at the Photographers Gallery. Exhibition celebrating the work of Dennis Morris…who bunked off school when he was 14 to go ask Bob Marley for a photo, and got hired as his tour photographer on the spot…and the rest is history. He went on to work with the big names of the punk scene. Very enjoyable…got my photo taken with Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious. Got home by 1915…Aki rustled up a quick salmon dinner. Watched Japanese comedy drama series Hotspot before bath and bed…
