Quaff and Eat

Yesterday GC and I went out in the evening to the Holiday Inn. We had a sumptuous three course dinner. Starter was salad or vegetable soup. We both had the salad, a combination you could select from the buffet. I had two fillets of red snapper with roast potatoes and veg selection , whilst GC had the ham. We both had chocolate cheesecake and profiteroles for sweets. Fabulous meal!

Earlier that day I visited the Evening Star and met up with some friends, Gaz, Chris and Nigel. Quaffed a pint of the Dark Star Triple (8.5% ABV) and a half of the Verheghe Barbe d'Or (7.5 % ABV) . I also popped into the Post and Telegraph for a pint of Queens Brewery Plum Treat (4.0 % ABV) and before meeting GC a pint of Mauldons Blackberry Porter (4.8 % ABV) at the other Wetherspoon pub in West Street , called the Brighthelm.

Bought a couple of cheap charity shop book finds as well -

Ezra Pound – Selected Poems 1908 – 1969 (Faber)

and

QI Second Book of General Ignorance (Faber)

Today visited Worthing for another reconnoitre to a Wetherspoons outlet called The Three Fishes to have a meal, gin and tonic and a beer.



Picked up more cheap paperbacks on my perusals -

The Works of John Keats (Wordsworth Editions)

Jurgen Habermas “The Past As Future” (Univ. of Nebraska Press)

Kazuo Ishiguro – Never Let Me Go (Faber)

These will go back with me to Kent.

Already started the John LeCarre novel. Should be finished by tomorrow.
