Day off work today - this morning took boots to dubious shoe repairer in Richmond. Let's hope it all works out. Then to Peter Mac to see B. He's improving all the time, has read novel by Julian Davies, The Boy, and asked for Middlemarch. He's eating more - has ordered roast beef for lunch tomorrow - he always was ambitious.

Latest news is that he may be home next Monday but there are no guarantees.

Later P and I went to see American Splendor - which we both enjoyed.
