Another Sunny Morning

Another sunny morning and one that is expected to rise up to29 degrees C, with the weekend around the same but more thundery weather apparently.I do know that even with the window open last night it felt sticky again and took me ages to get to sleep.

I will in Faversham today and may even pop over to Rainham. For now i am about to finish off another paperback.

Tunbridge Wells Visit

After going to Faversham i then popped over to Tunbridge Wells  to do a fashion shop visit which included trying an item on and the just leaving the store saying that i will think about it. All i needed was a pic of the store frontage and the name of the person who served me. This was a quick turn around shop with a bonus fee so that is why i did it.

I also took a couple of pics on this glorious sunny hot day.





Mike sent a pack of five Fruit Of The Loom T shirts, all dark blue, so i wore one of them today. Goes well with the light blue floral shorts.

The Timberland shop has some nice stuff in it.I use to have apair of their shoes once.

So tomorrow and the bank holiday weekend will be one of lazing around. And reading books.

Lou Harrison wrote "The 'Concerto in Slendro' was mostly composed in 1961 aboard the S.S. New York en route to Japan. It is filled with my eager anticipation of the first taste of the beauty and bustle of Asia. The title derives from the fine Indonesian theoretical term denoting a five-tone mode in which the 'seconds' are roughly, 'major' (or large) and the 'thirds' 'minor' (or small). A complementary term 'Pelog' refers to the opposite kind of mode...'seconds' small and 'thirds' wide. This Concerto uses two Slendro type modes only... These two modes are perhaps the most common and generally loved of all man's modes- the first is practically the 'Human Song'... the two modes are heard in correct 'just intonation'...."
