Good Morning

Today I Am ...

Heading towards Maidstone today as i have a few visits to do including a pub food covert engagement.
Weather is dry at the momemt but looks suspect.
I hope it stays fine and that we do not have rain.

Oh well , that weather has turned out to be a wet day. It is raining right now. Not a major shower but that fine trickling stuff that is annoyingly clingy.

Back track 1998

Done my two visits - the supermarket at Kings Hill and the pub visit in Maidstone. Actually , I am still in the pub having just devoured a pulled pork beef burger with chips and onion rings. I left most of the onion rings as they are not my favourite item.

I also picked up a cheap copy of “50 Words For Snow” by Kate Bush – which was in one of the Wire magazines' Best of the Year in 2011.

If we look back twenty years this was the top 50 of 1998.

This was when i was into my DJ sets , playing and spinning records at pubs in Brighton, and thus more of a soul ,jazz and funk overlap than anything avant garde or totally way out there. Hence only two CD's i have from this year. Portishead and Vampire Weekend


Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma

Portishead - Hunter

Just Wondering

What's your favorite type of bread for toast?

What's your favorite type for a sandwich?

If you could have anything to eat right now, what would it be?
