jazzy_daveI didn’t go to Maidstone after all, well just outside the town at Newnham Court, and will defer it to tomorrow or Wednesday. Ideally the latter day as i will be in Sittingbourne as well.
Cousin went up to St. Thomas hospital for his results today. He texted me and then phoned but i could not make sense of everything he was saying. Apparently having a few drinks post diagnosis, so this time i will be somewhat cooler about what time he reappears. I will probably get more sense out of him in the cold light of day tomorrow.
The gumbo soup we had on Saturday was one of the best soups i have ever had. It was spicy, warming and delicious. It would have made a great main meal, and consequently as a starter, made it difficult to really enjoy the Cajun chicken dish. One or the other but not both.
Having said that , where else would you get a meal not on the menu or a specials board , chauffeur brother from the station on alighting, and set up a laptop for my cousin to watch the European cup final. Hats off to the Dover Castle.
My auction bid Peterson’s straight pipe arrived this morning, and has already offered a cool steady smoke from it. The best pipe in my collection so far, and it will replace a cheap one that has a crack in the stem.
