Woke around 0700 with back ache...managed to doze back off for a couple of hours, but then languished in bed until 1100. Got up and Aki cooked a late brunch. Did my exercises. Read some Chuzzlewit. Raining for much of the day, so reluctant to venture out for a constitutional. Pottered about on the laptop doing nothing particularly useful for much of the afternoon. Aki cooked mackerel Japanese style for dinner. Watched The Traitors.
