Monday 20th July 2026

Woke with back pain, so got up and made tea. Sat up in bed doom-scrolling until 1000. Porridged. Aki did some work on her minutes at the computer. We ventured into town to take a look at the newly upgraded Grosvenor Square garden, and bought a rather expensive sandwich at the kiosk there. Found some shade and ate our viands. Wandered up to Marble Arch to take a look at the recently opened Museum of Contemporary Art...rather sparse gift shop, and £24 to get in to the Keith Haring exhibition. We ambled on to Hyde Park, and took a look at the Serpentine Pavilion, and the Cecily Brown exhibition...neither did much for me, I have to say. Caught a bus to Hyde Park Corner, and took the Piccadilly Line back home. Aki got out at Holloway Road and popped in to Waitrose. I got home to find a bloke from OpenReach in the front garden...sussing out how Aki's order of fibre broadband might delivered to our flat. I put a tuna salad together for dinner. Watched a bit of telly. Shower and bed...
