Email from Ed Davey’s office cancelling a later meeting because he is ill. I panic, thinking we must have poisoned him last night and phone up his office; no – it’s not food poisoning, just flu. Thank goodness!

Later in the day, the second public meeting on the new Highgate Control Centre for Tubelines. They have moved a fair distance on disguising the building from nearby residents with earth and have got some decent proposals for lighting and the gatehouse. But they have still not answered many questions posed by residents at the first meeting which they promised to do.

This naturally angers the residents – and so ask them to come back to a third public meeting to answer the questions.
