Went walking with maryanne and susie. Picked susie up from her house then followed bizarre route on Satnav with lots of traffic but got to greyhound in Wigginton 9.45 so ready to walk at 10. Pouring with rain to start but soon dried up and almost sunny. Lovely walk. Got slightly disorientated at one point but found our way back to route ok. Had ham eggs and chips in very dog friendly pub for lunch. Dropped susie off at acton central which was much better than ploughing on to kensal green and back. Went ringing with Tony to chalfont st giles in the evening. Made a very long day.

It was lovely having a houseful this morning. Sam said the futons were comfortable, which is good to know. I took Suki for a walk and then went to Westfields with Lorraine, Sam, Amanda and Bethany. We went to the food court so that the others could get something to eat, and I bought a couple of wraps from the Lebanese stall for lunch - a falafel one and a halloumi and olive one. I went home once they started shopping as there was not much I needed. We shared the wraps, having half of each one each. They were excellent and very filling. I took Suki out again in the afternoon and then we went off to Baden Powell House for Goldsmiths rehearsal. We got baguettes from Pauls again, and I also took a flask of coffee as it was the final, long rehearsal tonight. We got home quite quickly on the tube and I finished off the coffee and had a sake before going to bed and watching another episode of Doc Martin. Rather annoyingly this one didn't follow on from...
