Coffee Time

Just having coffee in a coffee shop attached to the RTW Hospital -one of my visits before i head into Tunbridge Wells and onward to Brighton.

Sunny mild day ,so it should be a good one.

Brighton and The Evening Star

This is weird,my bro and his wife are now in Faversham for a couple of nights and i am in Brighton doing a covert shop.

But first i had to check out the Evening Star pub for a beer as they will be closed for three weeks from Sunday for refurbishment and maintenance.

So i had a half of their Russian Imperial Stout that is on tap - a stonking 10.5 % ABV beer you do not need to mess with.

This was my local once.Sigh!

Shoes

Quick update from Brighton visit - new shoes - Karrimor down to £33 from £110 !

Evening Meal

A very tasty evening meal in Tonbridge. I had the peri peri half chicken with Mexican rice and coleslaw. Washed down with a Pinot Grigio white wine and a Snake Dog IPA. I then had the sticky toffee pudding with custard and anoither vino.

Lovely jubbly!

Wondering Thru The Haze of Wine

Who was your favourite childhood superhero, and why?


Have you ever had a pet that ran away? Did you eventually find her or him? If not, how long did it take you to recover?


Do you believe society will ever truly overcome racism?

Gmail Fail!

Gmail is playing up again.It is sending all my LJ comment Social emails through my primary folder rather than the social folder. It is rather annoying.

Lou Harrison Symphony No.. 2

Just one piece of music tonight -

Lou Harrison,Symphony No.2 ("Elegiac")

Published on Jan 4, 2014
The second symphony by Lou Harrison was completed in 1988 although the first sketches for it date back to 1942.It is the deaths of both his mother and his close friend and fellow composer Harry Partch in 1974 that really inform the emotional tone of this work, which incorporates materials from different phases of his career. It can be considered a summing up of his work and influences. The mixture of personal grief and Eastern spirituality that runs through the work is reflected in these comments he wrote about it, explaining the titles of the movements: "The angel of music, Israfel ('whose heartstrings are a lute' - Edgar Allan Poe') stands with his feet in the earth and his head in the sun. He will blow the last trumpet. Six times daily he looks down into hell and is so convulsed with grief that his tears would inundate the earth if Allah did not stop their flow."

BBC National Orchestra of Wales/Edwin Outwater.
