Tuesday 14th October 2025

Woke around 0815. Got up and took tea back to bed. Read for a while before porridging. Aki cycled off to the fishmongers, then headed for tai chi at the Chinese Community Centre up the road. I took a walk to Highbury and had coffee at La Maison, then walked home via Waitrose. Aki made ramen for lunch. Sat about reading. Did my exercises. A bloke turned up to look at the Takamine guitar I’d put up for sale on Gumtree a month or so ago. He’s been teaching a teenage pupil, who turned up 15 minutes later with his mum, and little sister. He liked the guitar…but I can’t say he seemed to have anything resembling musical talent…but his mum forked out £150 in cash and they left with the guitar. I’d bought it 27 years ago  on Dean Street in Newcastle! End of an era. Aki cooked hake for dinner, with black beans and bulgar wheat. Watched The Hotspot…getting very silly, but refreshingly good fun. Caught the second half of the Latvia v England game…a 0-5 win ensures we’ll be at the World Cup in 2026.
