Monday Musings

Popping into town this afternoon to post a CD and two books sold on Discogs and eBay respectively. Steady sales these days.

I also need to pick up some printer paper which I will get from Tesco's as they have their own brand which is just as good as other brands but much cheaper.

Herne Bay on Sunday had a jazz and swing festival which Ewart invited me to - it was a free event on the pier - but the weather was rain-soaked and I am not a great swing fan - Ellington and Basie but not much beyond that. Bop, bebop, cool jazz, free jazz, soul jazz, and improv are my bag.

Listening to that live Pentangle album Sweet Child it is quite obviously imbued with a jazz and blues feeling or influence esp.in Danny Thompson's bass playing.

Tomorrow heading to Sittingbourne and Sheerness for three visits and then Wednesday an early start to take me - via Tonbridge and Heathfield - to Hastings - five visits that day. The forecast is good for the days ahead.

Online Stuff

I have downloaded the maps I need for my Bloomsbury visit on Monday around UCL. That is University College London to the uninitiated, and I will be having two visits in a couple of coffee shops, and thirdly, a pizza place attached to the university buildings. I will be topping off the day with a sushi visit up the Edgeware Road and a charity shop somewhere north of Bromley and another chazzer in Church End. Six visits in all but doable as I will be leaving dead early that morning.

Somewhere along the line, I will be heading to MVE in Notting Hill but after I have done the visits. I don't have a lot to exchange this time around but I will be concentrating on picking up some classical recordings.

That was part of my research today. The rest of the day has been doing some social media online covert shops for one of my companies. I never had to leave home.


Whilst online downloaded some Thinking Allowed podcasts and some science podcasts that interested me as well as more from the people at Radiolab.org.

It will be another trip to London with five visits planned.

I just hope next Monday will be a nice day.
