Back Once Again

Longish journey back to Kent yesterday morning as i did two mystery shop visits, one in Ashford (a charity shop) and one in Canterbury. The weather was still hot and sunny and whilst in Canterbury I had a cold beer at Wetherspoons.

When i arrived back in Teynham and began  opening my suitcase to take out clothes and purchases Florence came to have a look and got in!

Back in the Office this morning. I was going to do a visit in Tunbridge Wells but Ted from React phoned me early this morning to ask if i could release the visit to somebody else going that way. I said he could , since i really did not fancy going there today, as it is yet another hot day.

Book 23 - Tuy McGre "Empire (Untied States In The Twentieth Century)"

Tuy McGre "Empire (Untied States In The Twentieth Century)" (Hodder Education)






I bought this book some time ago in one of the charity shops in Faversham for 76 pence.

This is part of a second-level Open University course presented for the first time in 1994. The course examines the experience of American society this century, using the insights and analytic tools of politics, geography, sociology, history, economics and literature to develop both a complex portrait and an understanding of the most powerful nation in the world. This collection of essays by authorities from both sides of the Atlantic examines the rise of the US to the status of global superpower and its impact upon the global political economy. It explores how US power has come to shape the pattern of worldwide politics in the 20th century and seeks to understand how global interdependence affects the lives of Americans.

A good read, and it felt less academic than most books of this sort.

Prince Albert Pub Mural Makeover

I saw this being completed on Monday whilst i was in Brighton. The Prince Albert pub at the top of Trafalgar Street has had a mural makeover, and it looks fantastic in the sun. The last mural on the pub was the famous Bansky kissing policemen.
