Sometimes ...

Sometines , not often, i don't have anything to say, and loquacious ramblings fail me, thus i feel that i do not want to post up anything. In fact the only posts, except for the morning one, was two classical music posts.

When i arrived back from the Office yesterday, and after doing the salad,eating and washing up, all i wanted to do is either watch TV or listen to the radio. Well i did a bit of both.

Only Connect is back on again , now on BBC 2 rather than BBC 4 , and the Felinophiles beat the Politicos in this first episode.  Cat lovers are clever!

I also had not realised that University Challenge was back on again. I have missed the first six episodes and thus will need to catch up on them if i can.  I then followed a programme on the background to the quiz and how teams are selected.

I also downloaded a number of programmes centred around John Betjeman, and one of them that i shall be watching at some point today is Metroland. So, coming42 ,  thanks for your concern but only worry if i have not posted for two days on the trot.

Today i will be taking the bus over to Canterbury but as i look out my window at the moment it looks a very grey miserable day. The chance of precipitation is palpable.

Train Problems

Thank Goodness i opted to go by bus today. There seems to be an incident on the line and the 333 bus to Faversham was jam packed with people. So i checked online with the rail company and this is what has happened.


"Because of a major fault with the signalling equipment at Sittingbourne, all lines between Faversham and Gillingham and between Sittingbourne and Sheerness-on-Sea have been closed.
.
Engineers are on site investigating the fault and we are doing all we can to re-open the lines as quickly as possible.
.
In the meantime, replacement buses are running between Faversham and Gilingham for connections to / from London and also between Sittingbourne and Sheerness-on-Sea."

I will soon be catching the 3X to Canterbury.

Bob

So in Canterbury right now and just popped into the library there as it was starting to rain. I have a mystery shop to do anyway in the Burgate. Then perhaps a pint of ale at the local 'Spoons watering hole.

I might even peruse the ehelves of the Chaucer Bookshop. Past Sentence in Faversham was not open today until Thursday

.I am currently reading "A Street Cat Called Bob". It is a wonderful true story that has given me bouts of broad smiling and welling up inside in equal measures.Okay we  cat lovers are softies.

Canterbury Visit

There was just a spittle of rain today and the sun had came out for awhile as i was leaving Canterbury.
Sod's law i thought.

Anyway, i had a pint of beer at the Bell and Crown pub , Wantsum Red Rabble (4.5 ABV), and then went perusing some book shops. I sold some books for four quid at Chaucer Books and purchased these for less than a quid, including a couple for only a quid t Waterstones in a sale.




And then some freebies outside another charity shop which stated a donation of yor choosing.





A good day indeed.

Timelords

This was posted by drwex earlier today. I had forgoten all about this gem and i still have the 12" single of it. The Timelords (aka The KLF) and Doctorin'The Tardis , with a sampled snatch of one of the hits by The Sweet.

oh yes a classic indeed. Enjoy.

Justified

Okay now that track has lead me onto another tune which the KLF did and another fave of mine. The KLF feat. Tammy Wynette "Justified and Ancient".

Enjoy.
