The Ashford Anomaly
May. 13th, 2012 07:07 pmSaturday afternoon i took a journey over to Ashford to do a couple of charity shops and a cinema visit which meant that i got back very late at night. Apart from the initial chagrin i received from my cousin he was very pleased with the belt and the CD i gave him.
The only problem is that the belt split apart this morning. Well it was a cheap one, but i will find another next chazzer trip.
First port of call was in Faversham to the book fair. I picked up another Primo Levi book in a Folio Society edition for £3 , his “If This Is A Man”, and “The Gentle Art Of Smoking” by Alfred K. Dunhill ((Max Reinhardt Ltd.).
In Ashford i bought a T shirt for myself, that belt, and a classical CD plus some books. The CD is a compilation of French orchestral music including music by Satie, Bizet and Ibert.
The books are -
Philip Pullman “Count Karstein” (Corgi)
India Knight “Comfort and Joy” (Penguin)
Jiri Weil “Mendelssohn Is On The Roof” (Daunt Books)
I then went to see a film at Cineworld and watched the latest Mel Gibson film. A fairly good thriller. However , i must have had a senior moment as the chappie behind the counter sold me a Concessionary ticket so it only cost £6.50 instead of the usual £7.90. He must have thought i was an O.A.P , cheeky bugger, but i didn’t mind as it was a bit cheaper than normal.
Tomorrow i will be in Sittingbourne and cousin is going to his specialist at St.Thomas Hospital in London.

Another One Bites The Dust
May. 13th, 2012 09:22 pmAnother vinyl store is going to close.B Side The C, in Herne Bay,will be closing down due to a number of factors such as the proprietor's ill health, the internet and since the recession the guy hardly sees anyone most days. I must admit, i have not heard of it, but then , i still do not know enough about what vinyl shops are still operating in Kent, except for the one in Rainham and Canterbury. I must try and get over there to visit before he closes for good, and it just so happens i have a few visits to do in that town this month.
Talking of vinyl, a couple of those freebies from said shop in Rainham, has resulted in me selling a couple to a geezer in London - The Best of British Jazz Funk Vol.1 and Vol.2 (Beggars Banquet) and, the previous week, the Nina Simone album. A return visit is on the cards.
Well,after my stint in Sittingbourne, i could pop by on my way to Chatham to do that Boomers visit.
