Alarm at 0700. Got up and made tea. Put the ladder up in the back yard in anticipation of the arrival of the scaffolding team. I swear he'd told me last night that they'd rock up at 0800...by 0945 there was no sign of them. Rang the roofer, and he chased them up. They had had to go and pick up some more poles from a depot in Crouch End, and rocked up at around 1015. I made them tea. They got on with sticking a 'tin-hat' on top of the scaff rig. Took them most of the day. Aki and I moved the dining table so that we could take up the rug...we had a non-slip layer delivered, cut to the same size as the rug; hoping that it will protect the floor from the black staining from the rug. Aki tried to clean the stains off the floorboards, with only partial success. Stopped for soup for lunch. The underlay turned up and we got it laid successfully and repositioned the dining table. Early dinner...chicken chasseur and vegetables. Drove to Southgate Road for rehearsals at Martin and Janet South's house. Same set up as yesterday...worked through three pieces...I was only in one piece, which we happened to do first. It was the worst crafted piece of the lot, unfortunately, so was a bit of a slog. Martin was in the scene with me, which is always fun, but he seemed to have come down with a very heavy cold, or may be suffering the onset of a bout of flu...sincerely hope he hasn't passed it on to me!!! Made my escape after doing my piece, and left them to it. Drove home, listening to the Bayern v Arsenal game on R5Live.
