A Trini Morning

As i enjoyed the Trini Lopez link from a comment the other day , here is my morning song of the day, and infact a single in my collection and a track i have played a few times whilst doing my DJ gigs. Trini Lopez and "Gonna Get Along Without You Now"

Enjoy.

Big Thanks

A big big THANKS to everyone who wished me a great birthday for yesterday bolstered by fantastic weather and some good bargains from the two charity shop visits i did. I shall post all the details later today as i have to be in the Office for midday. I shall be walking into town as it is already creeping into a hot warm day.

So , to reiterate, THANKS ALL!!!

Baggins Book Bazaar Query

Perhaps some of our local Kent LJ bloggers might be able to solve a conundrum concerning the Baggins Book Bazaar in Rochester as it was initiated by a book i sent to my brother  which i found in Tome, Eastbourne  - and   posed by him here,

Perhaps poliphilo or cmcmck may know of something until my next visit to Rochester

Tenderden and Headcorn Visit

Thursday was a really good day. The weather was warm and sunny and i discovered a good few bargains from two mystery shops i did.

I first went over to Faversham to sell some books, and then via Maidstone traveled down to Tenderden to visit a Sue Ryder charity shop. Tenderden is a lovely market town and with camera in hand i took this picture.



I had a pint of ale in a local pub waiting for the bus to take me back up the road to Headcorn to do the other charity shop.




Best bargain of the day was this hardback book for £1.50 and a Niel Gaimon novel which was serialized on BBC Radio 4 a few months ago.



These two were from the Headcorn charity shop, as well as an autobiography by Jools Holland.

I also picked up the complete series of the first season of Spooks, a BBC drama based on our intelligence service , and two series of a US  crime drama called Numbers, and a folk album from 1973 by The Fivepenny Piece "Makin' Tracks" .. This latter purchase was a bit speculative , thinking it might be worth a bit, but alas, it is not, but i have put it on Discogs for around three quid.




The day ended with a drink down the Paper Mill with Phil..

Tomorrow i have three mystery shops which includes a mobile phone shop (no purchase) ,a branch of Pret coffee shop and a branch of Costa Coffee shop. Hence i shall  be cantering to Canterbury, marching to Maidstone and perambulating to Pembury.

S.H.I.E.L.D and Dr.Who

Wow. Just watched the latest installment of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D  in which Sky and Ward are in a coffee shop or restaurant and Coulson;s amazing flying car. Definitely  one of the best shows on TV at the moment. Well, that is , until the new season of Doctor Who. I am trying not to get too excited but the anticipation is palpable.
