Random Notes

Just made coffee. It is the first thing i do when i get up. Then straight onto LJ - this is true. My home from home if you like. I just hope our single ATM in the village is working. It was out of order yesterday all day long!

If not i shall use the post office when it opens at nine.

On my journey today i shall take a book to read. I have  a few unfinished ones. One by Noam Chomsky, another Zizek book, one by Antonio Negri and a novel by Zola. So one of these i shall take.

I don't know what film to see as yet when i visit Cineworld later on.

Tonbridge, Paddock Wood and Rochester Visit

Just got home within the last hour after a long day. As usual the journey back from Rochester is fraught with long periods of waiting for connecting bus and train  services after my cinema visit.

However, apart from that problem, it has been a good productive day. The only thing now is to do the five reports i have to type online before i go out to do my next visits.

The film I saw at Cineworld in Strood was the British so called romantic comedy "Salsa Fury" which is probably better for the music than the film which was curated by my old mucker from the Brighton jazz days in the early nineties by none other than Gilles Peterson. It was a good film, but the music trumped the story-line.  Having said that, as it was one of my covert shops it was free to me, complete with a gorgeous cookie chocolate ice cream  with hot choc sauce in the foyer.

As far as the covert mystery shops went, the purchases i made were fine but not outstanding , certainly as far as the music was concerned. In fact i found better CD's from my non-work based visits than those i did covertly. Plus in Rochester before the cinema visit i found the other JTQ album , a live one, for fifty pence , which i know is selling on Discogs for around twelve quid. This will be put onto Discogs at the earliest opportunity.

The books came from my visit to Paddock Wood, my first port of call. These were -







The next part of this blog will feature the music i picked up today.
