In Sittingbourne

Well a little bit cooler today and we had a spot of rain this morning. I am back in The Office waiting for the time to get my expenses for coming over here. Then i shall be off to Ashord to do a  charity shop visit. I thought I had a cinmea vsist as well but the next one is in August. I will probably do it next Wednesday and add it to the Wetherspoons visit.

Before i catch the bus to Ashford I will pop into Past Sentence with those three for a quid books i bought in Seaford to sell. I do fancy a cold drink though, golden in colour and in a pint glass.

Book 48 - Peter Ackroyd "Dan Leno & The Limehouse Golem"

"Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem" by Peter Ackroyd (Vintage)






This is a cracking good read. It is one of those books where one constantly thinks that one is ahead of the plot and is constantly proved to be wrong!

This is Charles Dickens meets Jack the Ripper country. As one would expect from Peter Ackroyd, it is very well written and effortlessly purveys the feel of the age. I will not say more about the plot so that, were someone foolish enough to read this tripe, it will not be spoilt: suffice it to say, that having told the reader what is going on, Ackroyd still manages to throw one more feint into the mix.

Ashford Visit

Ashford charity shop visit done this afternoon. Picked up a DVD and two books for £4.50.

The DVD is the romantic movie “Atonement” based on the novel by Ian McEwan. I watched it this evening , and a bit of a tear jerker it was too.

The two books are both hardbacks by Iain Banks -

“The Business” (Little Brown & Company)
“A Song Of Stone” (Abacus)





Currently finishing off the book on Peter The Great.
