London Overground again, this time from Whitechapel to Haggerston to see Alexander and Flora, for our postponed visit. They are fortunate enough to have - for the next two weeks anyway, as the house has been sold - a huge old fashioned basement kitchen (and three storeys above it), so they have moved a double bed into it, which still leaves room for two tables, one of them a long scrubbed wood one that would seat a dozen easily, and the aga. So Flora can recuperate in the heart of the house. She looks tired but seems in good spirits. Roddy, Alexander's brother, comes over. We saw him a year ago performing with his experimental group Quorn. And A goes out to pick up fish and chips round the corner on Kingsland. Our last visit before they move to Newton, just south of Cambridge.
