Murder

Well folks Teynham certainly was on the local news New Years Day. Some Lithuanian guy got murdered around 2 am on that day, and not far from Francine's place. Stabbed with a knife but luckily the police have got the three men involved in the murder so we can at least sleep well at night. Meridian news covered it.

I was going to go to Avanta this morning but the barriers at Sittingbourne were guarded and thus I decided to go onto Rainham and bought three books from a charity shop for a quid. I then went over to Faversham to get some pipe tobacco and go to the library.Free train journeys both ways

Will probably go to the Office tomorrow anyway.

Primed Year

Numerically this year is quite interesting. It is a product of three primes , specifically 3, 11, and 61. By multiplying these three primes together you get 2013.
