Friday 19th December 2025

Aki up at 0730 to ready herself for rowing club. I stayed in bed till gone 1100…still feeling under the weather. Brought porridge back to bed and did some reading. Dickens being very rude about the yanks…their vulgarity, greed and arrogance…he could be writing about Trump’s America! Got up and made some lunch…Aki ate at the cafe then cycled back…via the cycle repair shop! Her chain causing problems…£175 later!!! Resolved to buy white tiles for the bottom row to match the base, as the grey ones we’d bought from Chadwell Heath were a bit too dark…means we can halve the delivery cost with Tim. We’ll have to drive back out to Chadwell Heath with the unwanted tiles in the New Year! Aki put the order in. Cobbled dinner together. Leftover vegetable biryani from last night’s dinner party at No.36, with some defrosted dal, and lots of vegetables. Aki added some prawns. Watched some telly before bath and bed…
