Jazzy D's Soul Notes

I have quite a few busy days ahead now that the end of January is in sight. I am doing some train journeys for one of my companies today and the next two days plus work starting from next Tuesday for every day except for Sunday. There are several charity shops involved of course and a couple of coffee shops. I only hope the weather stays fine throughout.

The weather, once again, is proving to be temperamental and unpredictable. Today we have had gusty winds up to fifty m.p.h in the ascendancy. I decided to reschedule my visit to Ashford tomorrow. It is a chocolate store visit.

The forecast is for a much milder, less windy day.

As for today, I have been slumped over the keyboards writing reports and doing some mystery shops online.

I had not reckoned how quickly the time went. I guess I was engrossed and sublimated into the tasks at hand.



So, I just had my dinner, a Lancashire hot pot followed by a very delicious sticky toffee pudding with custard. I had no beer as I drunk it all the previous evening. It is less windy now, so I might pop to the local store and get some. They are open till eight except Sundays.
No more procrastination, I am going.

I popped over to Sittingbourne this afternoon to hand over the Change of Address document for the council to continue getting my benefits , as well as posting off another slab of vinyl I sold on Discogs I so;d for £14 to a gent in Eire. I also picked up some curtain poles as I have just the bare window and door with no curtain, and just a net curtain covering the window, which means that I am rather exposed when I come out having a shower, drying myself and being half naked or fully naked lol!

The previous tenant took their damn curtains and poles with them, but when they moved into number nine here they realised that the curtains would not fit their new place. Silly bint ! However, I did obtain the curtains for free from them but needed the poles to hang them up. Luckily John from flat 33 did the measuring up for me to get the poles and he will hang the curtains up for me tomorrow.

A new hoover is coming tomorrow, which my bro got on Amazon, and knowing that my broadband will be live tomorrow, I ordered from Amazon a much needed toilet cleaning brush and holder, and a very lovely floor standing lamp with a stepless dimmer and flexible gooseneck for that prefect light for reading and relaxing.



Last night in the Leading Light pub , which is my new local Spoons pub, I watched three episodes of Black Lightning , so now I am up to date with that series. I also had the Angus steak as it was steak night – it was delicious as always.

I am typing this up in the other local The Ship Inn – Percy the parrot is whistling and cooing – but so far no expletives despite them coming often from the patrons of the pub. At least I no longer need to frequent any pub in the evening as often I do at the moment just to get onto the internet. Tomorrow cannot come soon enough.

Now I must do some work Friday Saturday and Sunday as I am way behind and had to cancel some jobs. Friday I should or must pop over to Ashford to do a supermarket visit and Ramsgate for a charity shop visit, which leaves a phone shop visit in Brighton to do,and other charity shop visits in Hythe, Deal, Paddocks Wood Lewes and St.Leonards On Sea. A few hectic days ahead.

Yesterday started a job up in Patcham end of the city to do with perceived cost of calls from mobiles and landline telephones on behalf of Ofcom. Finishing off today as the forecast is good today but the weather crap and full of showers tomorrow.

Woke up with stomach cramps but a fizzy coke i have just finished drinking seems to have relieved it somewhat. I rarely get stomach ache so it did rather surprise me, as usually i have a constitution of an ox! (So excuse the burps!)

ILast night watched the documentary on BBC 4 "Desparate Man Blues" , a look at 78 collector Joe Bussard ,who has probably the highest quality and rarest collection of old pre Second World war slabs of shellac,including the rarest old time folk 78 on the Black Patti label. All from the 20's,30's and 40's but  mostly pre-war.
BBC 4 are currently doing a Folk America series,and part one of the series was shown last night as well.

Some work is coming back in again , a pubs survey for EMS,two Wickes visits from HPI, the car servicng job from SFP (Audi and VW cars) and now from EB a visit to M&S at Shoreham (she phoned me this morning) plus a  mobile phone job from Sally Baldwin received in the  last few minutes.

A possible large project from Protel next few months to do with the London Underground. So it seems it is not going to be too bad on the whole.

Meanwhile perusing the VG+ site amused me about a best of Brillo post especially as one muted the idea of Brighton. A summer one sounds good to me here on the coast and ,yep, they would be invited, I am thinking of June when,hopefully,it is nice and warm.
So  London lads,what do you  think?
