Woke around 0900 after a fitful night’s sleep. Aki suffering from very itchy skin. Has arranged a GP appointment for next week. Read in bed. Got up and breakfasted before Aki cycled off to the fishmonger’s on Essex Road…cold out! Mounted Lynne’s new doorbell. Made lunch. Pottered about. Did some exercises. Aki cooked a fish stew for dinner, with tuna carpaccio for starters. Watched “When Harry Met Sally” in honour of the great Rob Reiner. Bathed before watching a bit of Jools’ Hootenanny and seeing the new year in with coverage of the fireworks on the Thames…
