Woke around 0430...took ages to get back to sleep. Next time I awoke, though, it was 0845. It meant I only had half an hour to ready myself and leave for Camden Town. Got dressed, abluted and swallowed some tea, then headed off with my guitar for the bus stop. Got to Camden in time to grab a pain au chocolat and a latte at Gail's on Parkway, then walked round to Cecil Sharp House. Our usual tutor wasn't available today, so a young chap named Joe took the class...an affable chap, and a good and patient tutor...we worked on a finger-picked version of the tune we've been working on for the past six weeks...with an alternating bass. The beginners were thoroughly defeated! Adjourned to the cafe afterward...enjoyed a chocolate brownie truffle with my coffee and chat. Walked down to GuitarGuitar to buy Aki a ukulele strap, but they sent me to Camden Guitars at the top end of the High Street. Bought the only offering, then wandered through Camden, stopping at another Gail's for a harissa chicken sandwich lunch, then walked down to the bus stop outside Camden Road station. Dumped my guitar at home, then walked across to Waitrose to buy ingredients for tonight's dinner. Aki returned from Rowing Club shortly after I'd got back. Listened to R5Live coverage of Sunderland's narrow 1-0 win over Chelsea. Practised some guitar, and some Xmas tunes before cooking dinner...a ravioli and mushroom pasta bake.
