Ashford and Tenderden Visit

Today a round trip via Ashford to Tenderden and back to Sittingbourne to finish an hour in the Office, which paid most of my bus journey costs.

Whilst in the Office I did a few of my Lodge reports as well as job hunting of course.

Picked up quite a few books from charity shops plus a pair of trousers for £4.80. They are a pair of dark blue coloured chords.


The books are -

Lisa Randall - Warped Passages (Penguin)
Ben Goldacre - Bad Science (Harper Perennial)
Dave Haslam - Young Hearts Run Free, The Real Story of the 70’s (Harper Perennial)
Ann Louise Bardach - Cuba Confidential (Penguin)
Anita Brookner - Under Influence (Penguin)




Quite a good haul then.

Book 70 - John Lahr "The Diaries of Kenneth Tynan"

John Lahr "The Diaries of Kenneth Tynan" )Bloomsbury)






A brilliant and feared critic, Kenneth Tynan was a nabob of the National Theatre alongside Laurence Olivier, and he was also the daring impresario who created "Oh Calcutta". He was a notorious eccentric, a louche sophisticate: connoisseur of cuisine, wine, literature and women. Where else could you find such a judicious blend of aesthetics, theatre lore, love, marriage, sex and politics? These sizzling diaries will remind older listeners of a man whose reputation as the greatest critic of the twentieth century is still unchallenged and introduce younger ones to an electrifying writer who simply could not be boring.
