Spooks,Strange Weather and Brownouts

As usual the weather became a big factor in what we did yesterday. I was going to go to Eastbourne, however GC had a mystery shop to do in the Langney area of the town ,and thus we sped off in that direction in the afternoon.

It was in the Sue Ryder chazzer that she bought a number of items for a fiver, including some books which I mostly chose, that is 3 books for two quid. They are -

David Toop - Haunted Weather (Serpents Tail)
Susanna Clarke - Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell (Bloomsbury)
Spooks, The Personnel Files (BBC Books)



Afterwards, we had a late lunch at A Toby Carvery. I treated GC to a meal .Good food but poor grumpy service. The Crown Carvery in Peacehaven is much better and cheaper.

During the early evening whilst I was watching the antiques programme  just before Eggheads, we had a brownout. The power cut lasted for over four hours and half of Seaford was affected by it. I even had a couple of pints in the pub (The Seven Sisters) at the top of the road in candle light. It was quite cosy in there with a few locals, and a couple of Old Speckled Hen beers.
