Wine Wednesday

It was a very good journey back from Brighton yesterday. I left the city at just after six and was back in the town here at ten - this was due to the fact that Arriva in their "infinite wisdom" have extended the hours the number 7 bus travels between Tunbridge Wells and Maidstone, It saved me having to take a train excursion up to Strood from there.

On the way i was texted by Phil to see if i would be in the pub ;later and i said as soon as i alighted from Sittingbourne rail station i would be there. So we met in the Golden Hope some time just after ten and had a few beers.

Today i have had a lazy day ,apart from washing some of my clothes, and finishing off one of the reports for the visits i did.

For lunch i had a classic pepperoni pizza with garlic bread and a bottle of Merlot wine to go with it.



The weather was a little warmer so i had a moment to read outside in the gardens of the Quays. I have almost finished the Julian Barnes novel, just a couple of pages to go.

I met Andy and Scott outside and was invited to his cluster for vino and a few tokes.The green stuff goes well with my normal pipe tobacco very well. Then later on when i got back to my own pad i must have fell asleep and had a late afternoon siesta.I woke up again around seven.

I then listened to the radio and some of the CD' s i bought and received in the post. Whilst in Brighton i found some great jazz CD';s in Across The Tracks going cheaply.

I was very happy to get this one as well.



Tomorrow i will be out again although i have not decided where exactly. It will include a visit to Gillingham , another supermarket covert shop, and possibly Beckenham. This will be after the free Thursday breakfast here at the Quays.

More Pics

Brighton turned out to be sunny ,so here are a couple of more pics i took. Admittedly one was inside a pub!

Just Wondering

The boogeyman, global thermonuclear war, being forced to eat broccoli—there's a lot to be afraid of when you're a kid. What was your biggest childhood fear?

Have you ever thought you knew the words to a song and then been shocked to find out what the lyrics really were? What was the song? Did you like your version better?
