London Pubs

A half day in London doing four mystery shops on behalf of a pub chain,three of the pubs being in the city,and one not far from Victoria station. Drink only surveys this tme, and getting paid to drink,all funds reimbursed - just can't be bad!! Nice liitle job too. Also back at O'Neils today concerning the new Guinses Red. Four hours work at £60  really is good! That's more Guiness for me as well.

Whilt in London popped into Rays Jazz Shop and bought two LPs Cecil Taylor "Student Studies" (Affinity 1982) and John Coltrane Quartet "Crescent" (Jasmine LP),and from Rough Trade in Covent Garden the latest issue of Sound Projector (issue #15) which is full of reviews and articles. Also purchased a CD i have not seen before called "Flip Your Disc! Easy Listenbing"  (Apollo Sounds CD 2001) and a book from 2004  "Everybody Dance,Chic and The Politics of Dance" by Daryl Easlea (Helter Skelter) for a small £3.

In all a good day shopping and drinking.

Well a other day at O'Neills and three pints later job done. Also had a delicious  Irish Rump steak with Jameison's sauce with chips and peas. Oh very yummy!!!  Good food there , but not a real ale pub.

A very warm day - real summer weather at last !! 

Well just had to play "Come Into The Warmth" by The RobertJames Orcxhestra when i got home (the Cadbury's Drinking Choc advert from years back) and threw the windows open to let the frsh summery air in.

Watched Dr.Who this evening and it was very exhilerating. Frema who plays Martha Jones is turning out to be a very capable companion and very likeable.

Doing the cinema visit tomorrow evening instead of tonight as i felt a bit tired after the day at O'Neils or was it the beer i had?

My horse Simon fell in the Grand National - well at least the jockey did - and L was laughing 'bout it rubbing the wound in further as hers came first!! Sod it! Very simple Simon!!
