Monday 3rd August 2026

Alarm at 0800. Got up and made tea. Drank it in bed. Got up to await the arrival of another roofer to scope out a quote for the repair/replacement of the butterfly roof above Lynne's maisonette. He hadn't arrived by 0930, and when I texted him to see if he was nearby, he texted back that he'd forgotten! Sorted out some hazardous waste from the garden shed...had to detail it all can by can on the waste collection form. Gazpacho for lunch. Accompanied Aki to UCLH...she had an appointment with a dermatologist; I sat in A&E to have my grumbling inguinal hernia looked at. Sat there for three-and-a-half hours before eventually being seen by a very nice young black doctor. She assured me there were no signs of strangulation, and advised that I flag up the change in symptoms to my GP, which may get my referral brought forward. Couldn't get on a No.29 bus home, as it was packed, so headed for the Victoria Line at Warren Street, and walked home from Finsbury Park. Aki had cooked a chicken and tomato pasta dish for dinner. Nowt much on telly. Showered and had an early night...
