Jazzy D's Soul Notes

So today I have a couple of charity shops to do, and a couple of alcoholic drink visits around UCL That is just four and hence so doable. First one will be in Beckenham. Not been there for a while. Then I will visit Rays Jazz Shop as I have around ten CD's to exchange. Then the two drink visits around the university quarters, and another charity shop in East Ham -an area I have not been to before, and then time willing to Flashback Records.

Flashback Records have three stores, one in Crouch Hill, one in Bethnal Green and the original store in the Essex Road.

I might check Clarity Insights to see if there are any Jap food visits in the city.

So far, it is a dry day. Expected at London Bridge around 7:30 AM.

Yesterday had a full day up in London around south London areas such as Herne Hill,West Norwood and East Dulwich doing this magazine survey (yet again) , 40 contacts (I minute sheets) and one quota of 20 contacts with ten interviews - and no chance to go record hunting. Just busy busy all day. But in terms of fees it came to £130 plus expenses so a good day. It remained dry and quite sunny throughout.
On the coach back read some more of the "Desperately Seeking Paradise" book where the author is in Saudi Arabia trying to seek wisdom. I never learned so much about Sunni's ,Shias and Ismailis than i have from this book. Its illuminating and at times very funny.

And it looks like i will be up there again (London that is) on Saturday doing more of the same via the EB but NW3 this time. I must get some old stuff together for that day to exchange at the Notting Hill or Camden exchange shops.

I do like travelling to London and next Thursday my wife has her midweek day of and i'm not doing anything apart from two "drink only" mystery shops at two pubs in London, and she is coming with me. I better keep her mits off the dosh,but she will have some to spend (whatever i deem to be appropiate) as most will go in a high yield ISA.

DR.WHO on last Saturday was a good start to the new series and the new lass is good and attractive looking - she was briefly seen in the two part Torchwood based battle of the Daleks against the Cybermen from season two of the new series.
