Monday 6th October 2025

 

Woke around 0800…Aki brought me a tea. Got up and porridged. Pottered about then did some exercises. Warmed up the soup for lunch. Set off mid-afternoon for the dentist on Upper Street. Bumped into Gayu from No.38 and Jane from No.36 outside our pad…they were going in our direction. Almost got run over by a speeding electric cyclist at the lights on Seven Sisters Road…he was trying to run the red light, but bailed out, slamming on his brakes, skidding, and crashing to the tarmac in the middle of the junction…I stared at him in contempt whilst Aki, Gayu, and Jane rushed to his assistance. He’d damaged his bike and grazed an elbow…I left Gayu and Jane ministering to their charge, and pulled Aki away, as I had to get to the dentist by 1530. 

Walked down Upper Street…had time to pop into a new gallery…selling some Tracey Emin, Banksy, etc at eye watering prices. Aki parted company outside the dental practice and headed for Angel. I had a 30 minute session with the hygienist…my second in a week…she’s very good…a young lady of Slavic origin, I’d hazard. Caught a bus home. Warmed up chicken chasseur for dinner, with mashed potatoes…delicious! Took a couple of buses to Stoke Newington for panto rehearsal. Wasn’t needed as the musical team were concentrating on the songs. Had a rummage in the wardrobe department for hats and things for Sean to help him develop the split personalities of King Gregg…didn’t find much. Departed for the bus stop early and got home around 2130.
