On the bus back from my two visits in Faversham and Hythe I found that we had an unexpected detour due to the A2 road being blocked both carriageways near Bridge. It took us via Wingham and through Littlebourne to Canterbury. Littlebourne was where Tim had his pub.

The connecting bus to Faversham had a gent marking a heavy print out. It looked like a Ph.D. thesis and he was marking it with a pink highlight pen, and occasionally writing on it with a red Biro. I thought how can anyone write on a bus that is moving Then again, I have this little Moleskin notebook That I put jottings in and I too was scribbling away in it. In it I put my thoughts, ideas or plots if I were to write a book – fat chance.

I picked up four books and a pair of trousers for five quid from the Cancer Research shop in Preston Street,Faversham. No books on science, mostly novels and a biography of Humphrey Bogart.

In Hythe it was an Iceland store visit in which I purchased much needed spread and bread.

Today, for my birthday, I will be going to Sittingbourne to do a couple of visits, and may purchase some beers from Morrisons. I presume I will invited to the local pub this evening, and I was going to eat out, so I might defer that to another day.

Popped into Sittingbourne to do another mystery shop visit. Picked up some books, a shirt and an accessory item. I then went to Morrisons to get some bottle beers for myself and some lager for Tim for the game tonight , Chelsea v Benfica. Also chillies and peas for a meal before the game and then to the Office to pay my travel and back - I know - in the Office on my birthday.

Afterwards i went over to Faversham to do the other mystery shop at the second Cancer Research shop in West Street.
