Home From Home

After a slightly delayed journey caused by the 333 bus from Teynham  breaking down at the bottom of Detling Hill along  the excursion to Brighton  ended up fine and within the time I had envisioned. I did not have to wait very long to change buses at the three termini to get her and I was in the Evening Star pub just after 3.15 pm. Brilliant!

We had o transfer to another bus but the delay was less than twenty minutes.

I arrived at my second home from home and had a pint of Dark Star Six Hop Ale. Phil (not the Dover Castle one who is the landlord of that establishment ) arrived a few minutes later . I gave him one of the two books he ordered from me and he bought me a second pint of this wholesome ale.

I also met Tony and he informed me that the Apple iPhone4 run is over and done with now that the VAT people have investigated what was going on. Oh well, c’est  la vie.

I also had a chat with Rob, who follows me here occasionally. He wanted an update on my situation and it was obvious that he isn’t so avid a follower as Julian down at Fine records. However , he did ask if I had an RSS feed to my blog, and I said “well I haven’t and don’t know how to set one up”. It is something to explore though as it allows people to have instant updates.

I managed to finish the Jean-Jacques Rousseau  book “The Social Contract”  which I had to study when I did the second level OU course “The Enlightenment” some years back., many years back actually. That is the great bonus of a long bus journey.

I just went outside to have a smoke on the pipe , after talking to Rob ,and net another Dave (from Australia and from Melbourne). Ribbed him about the Ashes returning to England but we had a good convivial chat.
He says he often comes back to England after emigrating and still loves old Blighty.   Good for him. Oh and he finds the “Fawlty Towers” the best export comedy we have ever made. I cannot disagree with that!
