Gillingham Bound

Today i shall at some point traveling over to Gillingham to do a charity shop in the High Street followed by an hour observation job in Twydall.

Weather is overcast but forecast is nt for any rain until the evening.

Wrong Town

Oh dear, i thought i had a visit in Gillingham Kent but obviously i did not check the email carefully as it was the Dorset one. So all i did today was Twydall , a suburb between Rainham and Gillingham here in Kent. There is another Gillingham in Dorset , pronounced with a hard "G" that is just too far to get to in a day.

Oh well, the hour observation went well. Picked up two DVD box sets, a CD and a book , and lots of info about the activities of the staff there.

So, here i am in my local Wetherspoons in the Bourne , having a pint of Bishops Finger before i head home.

Poem of The Week

I have recently been reading the poems of Catullus in English translation from one of these special Penguin 80 years o publishing mini paperbacks.



Here is one of them.


Let us live, Maryann, and let us love,
And let's not give a damn penny to every
Snide whisper of the puritanical old men.
The day's light comes and sets, and then returns again,
But for us the brief light shines but once,
And night stretches forth in one long sleep.
Give me a thousand kisses, the a hundred more,
Another thousand, a second hundred or two,
A thousand and still a hundred hundred more.
Then when we have kissed a thousand thousand times
Let the countless number fly away before we pause
Counting, nor let some envious eye devise a plot
Knowing that so many kisses can be kissed
