Just Wondering

For all the foodies amongst us -

What type of restaurant do you like to dine in?

Do you prefer Asian to Indian food or do you prefer other cuisine?

Do you prefer nuts to dried fruit?

Post Midnight Cllassical

For the post midnight music i have chosen a modern classical piece by another of my favourite Brits.

Jonathan Harvey - Tombeau de Messiaen for Piano and Electronics (1994)

Jonathan Harvey- Ritual melodies for Quadrophonic Tape(1990/1999)

Wire magazine introduced me to the wonderful weird sounds of Jonathan Harvey. Bhakti was a Wire CD of the month in 1990 or 1991 i believe.This one magazine introduce me to all new sounds since i first read it in 1989. Not been able to find that on You Tube.

Enjoy.

Just Wondering

What did you have for breakfast this morning?

What are doing over the weekend?

What is your favourite colour?

Belly Up

So the two cinema visits have gone belly up , so no visit to Ashford or Brighton looming. Oh well, i had to book online which i detest and could not proceed past a point, and i much preferred doing it when you just could turn up at the cinema and purchase in the ticket hall.

I am going to Faversham anyway, as i have books to sell, since my bookseller shop has cut out another day he is open, and now just opens on Tuesday Friday and Saturday.

Last night watched more episodes of Angel from Season 2 and some Charmed from Season 4.

Salad

Another day of frigging weird weather. Cold morning then warm sunshine followed by hail stones and back to some warmth. Ugh !

Sold a few books which was enough to get some tobacco and then some salad items because i had this easy and yummy jacket potato salad i made at home, with mixed leaves, chopped Cheddar cheese, some mayo, coleslaw, and leftover quiche. Sprinkled with black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.




Washed down with a bottle of Tanglefoot beer.

Ab Fab

Thanks to sugar_sweet for alerting me to this but the new Ab Fab fim looks brilliantly funny form this trailer.

In cinemas from July.

Friday Musical Selection - Modern Classical

Today some classical music selections introduced to me via The Wire magazine.

Toop

I must try and re-read David Toop's great book "Haunted Weather". I saw him lib=ve in a concert once in a Brighton Festival gig.



Meanwhile, he has a new book out -
