Back to Sin City!

Thursday I travelled back to Brighton on the usual bus route. It was a nice sunny yet cold day but I felt elated coming back to my favourite sin city. I was beginning to get a sense of ennui if I stayed in Kent for another week. I had to get away.

On the way I stopped off in Tunbridge Wells to have lunch at The Opera House (A Weatherspoons pub) and had a beef casserole and a pint of Dark Star.



I then had an early dinner at Hailsham at the George for a curry and a drink.(this being another Weatherspoons pub).





So with those delays I arrived in Brighton at around 7 pm.

Friday morning I posted off three sets of Cds from various sales made online. I did a mystery shop in Churchill Square and then went up to London for the day.

I had a meeting to do somewhere near the Oval and earned £25 cash in hand plus expenses. I then went via the tube up to Pimlico to walk to Millbank to visit the Tate and then to Notting Hill to exchange some old books.

I got a tenner in exchange and bought one book and five 7” singles -

Introducing Marquis De Sade (Icon Books)

Orchestra Harlow & Johnny Pacheco - L’Amento De Un Guajiro (Fania)
Firstborn - The Mood Club (Larkin)
Flywheel - Nemoy (Bonzai)
Stoned Soul Picnic - Hip Joint (Blow It Hard)
Nostalgia 77 with Keith & Julie Tippett - Film Blues (Tru Thoughts)

I shall play these come the April Northern Lights gig.

Dear LiveJournal

I have been on LJ since August 2005 (just checked back to my first entry). Cannot believe it has been  over five years. Changes have been few since i joined (as far as i can tell) , and perhaps not so many use this site (having gone over to Facebook or Twitter)  but i stil find LJ is the best site for the more intelligent blogging.

Evening Star Redux

Before i did a mystery shop up  in Elm Grove i poped into the Evening Star for a beer. Guess hwo was behind me when i went up to the bar to order my beer? My mate Ville and he was here wuith Ally and Gareth. I did not expect them to be ther but we had a good chat and lots of laughs.
