Aki up early to ready for Rowing Club. She brought me tea in bed before she cycled off. I delayed breakfast…cooked up some lentil soup for later, then headed into town. Decided to stick my head in at Maison Assouline on Piccadilly…I read that it was worth a visit…a book cafe opposite the Royal Academy. It’s housed in an interesting Georgian edifice next door to St James’s Piccadilly…and the coffee and food are well over-priced. But I enjoyed it nonetheless…an interesting one-off. Bought Bleak House in Hatchard’s next door, and took a Piccadilly line train home. No sign of Aki, so I ventured back out to buy pork belly from Waitrose…and sticky toffee pudding! Aki still not back when I got back in…can’t recall if today was boathouse cleaning day or something. Phoned ma and pa. Dad had taken mum out for a spin this morning…his eye having recovered. Kath reportedly hooking up with Dex for lunch in the Borders. Aki turned up around 1600. Pork belly for dinner with roasted leeks and celery. Watched ‘The Ballad of Wallis Island’ with the excellent Tim Key, who’d co-written the script. Very enjoyable.
