Mid Week Catch Up

Thursday

Visited GC to give her a copy of a Yma Sumac CD , and she passed me a job for next week she didn't have time to do,and she gave me a hard drink and we chatted.

Mike and Ros are in Spain this week having a break and will be back next week. We might get together for a meal out after all.

I have his damn car survey to do again and carrying a heavy laptop is not my cup of tea. I think after this month i will ditch it and return it to EMS.
I need to stimulate my creative juices hence the purchase of a moleskine diary, the type that Bruce Chatwin,Picaso or Hemingway might have used.

Yes this market research malarky sometimes gets me down,and i much prefer doing lots more PRS and mystery visits ,if they can compensate for the monies that MR gives me, and that thee lies the problem. Hence the jevington fiasco  What we need is simple jobs rather than long difficult jobs that takes ages to work out and difficult to get quotas on. Blah blah blah.

Anyway it was an excellent crate diggin' time in Polegate as already mentioned earlier in my blog. So Market research does have its compensations.

Friday

Locked myself out of the house this morning as i had left the keys on the kitchen table,and had to buy L  a coffee at lunchtime to use her keys to retrieve mine.

Pcked up five Lps i had left with Fine Records for cleaning, esp. a very dirty BT Express Lp,and a Dionne Warwick LP which was an original Sceptre label issue.

Later picked up some diaries to a smoking survey i started last week. That survey is now complete and ready to post.

Watched two rental DVD's Alexander Hacke's "Crossing The Bridge" and a BFI compilation of British transport Films "On The Rails".

Saturday

Picked up some fine LP's cheaply , another Fifth Dimension LP , a kind of best of collection of their music, two soundtrack Lp's and three DVD's in the Martin Scorsese blues collection at £4 each ," The Road To Memphis", "Warming By The Devil's Fire" and "Godfathers And Sons". Also some CD's "Compulsion " by Andrw Hill (Blue Note) and the latest Fonal release by Kemialliset Ystävät , a self-titled album. The WIRE is out early this time round, and already in the shops.

In The Guardian's Friday Film  and Music section an article about the classic albums that desrves to be set alight and burnt, and i would nominate "Sgt.Pepper" and "Dark Side of the Moon" for burning (If you should ask).

Good to see Captain Jack back in DR.WHO  this evening,and a cliffhanger of an ending,plus the return of the good Doctor's nemesis and arch enemy,THe Master!! Things can only get better. And if you wondered where is Cristopher Ecllestone (the previous Doctor), he is now part of the cast in the excellent HEROES on the SciFi channel.
