One Box Set Finished, Onto The Next

I have finished watching the four DVD set of Red Dwarf , which ends on Season 4 of the TV comedy series. I have sold it on Ebay so i am awaiting payment for it before i post it off. Some of the episodes were very funny and others were not. Also, i do embarrassingly realize how un-PC it was and that it would hardly be made these days. Terms like "Smeghead",which became an all too familiar cuss word by Lister, for example,aren't that nice, and sometimes the attitude to women are very seventies.

This box set was found in the Fleur Bookshop in Faversham. The shop is related to the town museum which is part of the Faversham Society. Interesting website link here, if you like history,conservation and archaeology.

"Relying solely on volunteers, the Society runs the Fleur de Lis Heritage Centre which includes a museum, gallery, heritage bookshop and Faversham's only Visitor Information Centre; it also runs the Chart Gunpowder Mill and Maison Dieu, Ospringe and manages a second-hand bookshop just around the corner from the Fleur de Lis Heritage Centre."

They concentrate on selling second hand books and so when they get the occasional DVD or CD they sell them very cheap. The box set was only 50 pence. It was the same shop i got the excellent Firefly box set from.

So the next box set i have yet to devour is the Season Three Futurama one which was a charity shop find on one of my travels, which if my memory serves me correct, was the Red Cross branch in Canterbury.

So Today ..

Feeling colder this morning when i popped into the local post office. I am on a round trip to do the Gift Aid Project , but the donations i have are pretty dire. Oh well, as long as they generate the correct response from staff members then the job is done.

Sheerness will be first on the list, then back to Deal and Canterbury. The Maidstone visit may have to be moved (yet again). Infact, the Maidstone visit looks less attractive when i think what i have to do (try a rucksack on, and getting it adjusted, and have feet measured for walking boots) and the length of the report afterwards.

The speed on the net is still up and down but managed to run a You Tube clip on this ancient laptop last night without too much delay. Speaking with Sky they did say it will take up to ten days to achieve maximum speed on the broadband.

Signing off now.

Round Robin Trip

I managed to do the three donation shop viists in Sheerness, Canterbury and Deal. Whilst cool the weather remained dry and sunny. Picked up a couple of books from some chairty shops, and a CD as follows -



The Cd is a live album recorded on a Eurpean tour by John Coltrane with Eric Dolphy called "European Impressions ".



I also found two of the beers on my list to try during the Wetherspoons International  beer festival.




Plus this fine British one in Deal.




I had a lovely pulled pork sandwich in this charming coastal town.

Evening Playlist

Well peeps..soon off to the land of nod. I listened to some CD's for my evening relaxing as it is sometimes more gratifying than telly.

Jean Sibelius - Karelia Suite / En Saga / Swan Of Tuonela by the New Finnish Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jan Engstrom (Imp Classics)

Music to relax to,
