Eastbourne Trip

A trip to Eastbourne to do a mystery shop and pick up a few cheap books as well.

Arrived about midday and had a salad lunch with a beer and a gin and tonic. This powered me up for a charity shop walkabout and a perusal through the musty shelves at Camillas Bookshop.

Purchased the following paperbacks -

Robert Rand “Tamerlane's Children, Dispatches From Contemporary Uzbekistan” (Oneworld)

Walter Laquer “Europe In Our Time , A History 1945 – 1992” (Penguin)

and

Alain Gresh and Dominique Vidal “A to Z of The Middle East” (Zed Books)

plus a 45 rpm single
Was Not Was – How The Heart Behaves (Fontana)

I nipped into the Evening Star for a pint of Mai Bock on the way back. The usual suspects were hogging the outside benches drinking and having a laugh, so I joined them. The weather had got warmer by the afternoon necessitating the disrobing of my jacket.

I decided to have a second pint before getting back to base.

Watched the last episode of "The Crimson Petal and The White" on the BBC i Player.
