Woke around 0715 and dozed for a bit Aki cycled off to Rowing Club. I porridged in bed and look over my lines for Good Golly…they should come fairly readily. Walked down to Upper Street for a coffee, and bought a quiche in Belle Epoche before heading back up the Holloway Road for a wee shop in Waitrose. Had forgotten my bus pass, so had to walk back home! Aki back for lunch. Pulled the other chest of drawers out from the bedroom wall and sprayed the black mould with mould remover...signs of damp to the external wall. Did some packing, and emptied the car boot ahead of loading up on Sunday morning. Aki cooked pan fried trout fillet for dinner, with cannelloni beans and plenty of vegetables. She then departed for a lecture at the RIBA...a famous Japanese architect, whose work we had visited in Hiroshima, and Toyama, last year. I worked on some songs, and watched some Winter Olympics. Aki back around 2200...bath and bed...
