It is a rather dull day and it seems to be stuck in this groove. I know, I do tend to use musical references even in non-musical discussions, but hey, that's my riff.

On a further note, I had a very interesting discussion with my neigbour at number 27. She had received a letter from sonebo9dy she lost touch with years ago, and the general motif of the ten-page letter was all about the conspiracy of the covid, vaccine fascism, and the global consensus of the hidden powers that be - and not in plain sight - to depopulate the world.

Anyway, so she gives me this letter for me to read and discuss, which I did. So in returning the letter to Mary. She lets me into her flat to discuss that and other matters that are of mutual interest to us. She plies me with a good quantity of brandy before I say that I need to get my food ready for my late afternoon lunch - or early dinner depending on the time, but we can cogitate further over such matters another day.

Lunch was a cottage pie with extra mushrooms and a pint of cider.

I also found new-ish clothes to try on from the common room and came out with these two items -





Perhaps, a country gent look. Whatto!

Thankfully it was a dry and mostly sunny day. I first headed off to Whitstable to do a charity shop visit and then down to Ashford to do a fashion store shop within the Designer Outlets south of the train station.

One of the visits the other day was a charity shop and I picked up a T-shirt with the classic Jack Daniels logo for four quid., and today a very fine excellent condition Thriller LP by Michael Jackson for a fiver.

So, hoping that the weather will stay fine tomorrow and if not then the next day. I am a little bit more flexible now either way.

Today we had the highest temperature recorded for a February for over  a hundred years and has broken all previous records. 20.3 degrees C!

I took the bus over to Sheerness to do a charity shop visit and then to Chatham to complete a covert phone store visit.
In sheerness for four quid I picked up a BossT-shirt, three DVDs and a CD which I was happy to find - Michael Nyman "The Piano", which was the soundtrack to the Jane Campion film.



Despite being a minimalist composer the music here os lush and gorgeous.

Michael Nyman - The heart asks pleasure first




The CD was number 39 in the Wire Top Fifty of 1993. 

All Done

Well ,that was a long and satisfying day. I picked up a few DVD's,The Time Traveller's Wife,The Libertine,Amelie, and Sin City.

The main items form my charity shop visits was this jumper and lovely scarf. The jumper came in handy for today's rather cool freeze but as the day progressed it did get warmer.

The free lunch at the Quays was a beef or vegetarian cannelloni with garlic bread.There was a sponge pudding for afters but i declined that after having the coffee and glazed croissants this morning.

A much dryer brighter day today if still squally wind-wise.

Today i am wearing my new Gap top ,Skechers footwear and Reebok city bag.

Another jaunt around the magnificent Kent countryside that started this morning. First trip to Maidstone, with an intermezzo of lunch at base here in Teynham, and then over to Canterbury for the afternoon session.

In Maidstone, I gobbled a delicious Greggs sarnie, had a pint of ale at the Muggleston Inn and bought a paperback from the Oxfam shop, specifically in the Icon range , “Introducing Psychoanalysis”. I though I might become an amateur Dr.Frazier Cane ha ha!



The beer was a very tasty quaffable Exmoor Hart (4.8 % ABV).

In Faversham, stopping off to get some cash on the way to Canterbury, I bought two more charity accrued paperbacks for 25p each. One of them on the behest of a friend. “The Girl Who Played With Fire” by Stieg Larsson (Quercus) and “The Knife Man” by Wendy Moore, with a subtitle of “Blood,Body Snatching and The Birth Of Modern Surgery”. Perhaps a title for Zoe to read as I borrowed from her “The Diary of Jack The Ripper, The Chilling Confessions of James Maybrick” (John Blake publishers).





I have yet to see any of the Millenium films, based on the books of Stieg Larsson, and until I have read “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” I will.not watch any until I have devoured the books. I have a fondness for the Scandinavian crime novels,e specially those of Henning Mankell and his protagonist Kurt Wallander.

Plus,I finished another chapter of “A Life Of Montaigne” and bought anew cardigan for myself from Next., as well as another pint at the Westgate Inn.

The ale i had here was from Colorado, USA,  Odell 90 Shilling (5.3 % ABV) , a dark ruby ale of scrummy spicy maltiness, which uses East Kent Goldings and Styrian Goldings hops.
