Aki up with alarm at 0700 to ready herself for a works meeting in Camden. She'd departed by the time I got up and porridged. Mucked about on my guitar for most of the morning. Roofer rang to say the scaffolding is due to go up on Friday, and they'll start work on Monday morning. Aki back for lunch. I put a tasty ham and egg salad together, with stracciatella and pesto. Pottered about not doing very much this afternoon...feeling a bit under powered at the moment. The disturbed sleep patterns are taking a bit of a toll. Warmed up the last of the chicken and coucous for dinner, with vegetables. Very tasty. Watched more 56Up, and a second helping of "The Reluctant Vampire". The original storylines were written by Eric Morecambe, and as young Val struggled to make himself a ham sandwich, his host points out that he's making a mess of it to which Val replies that he's "got all the right ingredients, but not necessarily in the right order!"
