Jazzy D's Soul Notes

Well, folks, that was a good day. A day of heavy imbibing at my local pub, during the afternoon, with Phil and Jimbo. Not seen Jimbo for about eight years and not since they left the Dover Castle Inn eight years ago Time does fly by quickly. Ewart joined an hour later, and we had about four pints before we hit the whisky. Mind you, both Phil and Jimbo left by then, and I arrived home at around seven and promptly fell asleep. Until now of course.


Good times.

The Marisa Mote CD arrived today as well as the Tropicalia compilation on Soul Jazz Records.

Neighbour Connor gave me a whisky glass a few days ago so i had to get some bourbon for it. Playing the blues now.




I also found a new laptop case for three quid from a charity shop as my old one was getting tatty and starting to split at the bottom.





Tomorrow i will be in Canterbury for the day.

Last night Mike, Tim and I had the tastiest roast pork with all the crackling,apple sauce,cauliflower cheese, roast spuds and vegetable medley. We had a meal at the Dover Castle and Phil, all week, has been boasting about how good his crackling is , and it was. We had a bottle of vino with the meal, and then had dessert , coffees and a cognac.

After Phil had finished cooking he brought out this single malt whisky, which was 60% proof, specially ordered for us for the evening. Man, it was smooth and it was pokey! Talisker after that felt ordinary.

Trouble was, the cauliflower cheese caused some perturbations in the nether regions, which meant quick visits to the gents to relieve oneself.

However, it was an excellent evening with delicious food and convivial company.

Tim was up first this morning , followed by me, and then my brother, who had egg on toast before getting his train back to Brighton
