Managed to sleep through till 0900. Aki brought me a mug of tea which I drank in bed before rising to cook brunch. Feel completely knackered...like I've been hit by a car! Lovely sunny day, so we walked to Highbury Fields for lemonaid and cake at La Maison, before continuing on down Upper Street...Aki wanted to get some moisturiser from Neal's Yard. Took a No.43 bus back to Holloway and popped in to Waitrose before walking home. Aki pan fried cod for dinner, with beans and vegetables, followed by cheese and biscuits, then ice cream and amaretti. Watched a Japanese film called Family Romance LLC...a bizarre piece of fakery directed by Werner Herzog, of all people! Gave up after about an hour. Watched an hour or so of the documentary Man On The Run, looking at the post-Beatle career of Paul McCartney, before tuning in to The News to see how Trump's disastrous Middle East war is going. Bath and bed...
