I had a pretty good day at the seaside -
Train down to Dover at 10.30 (nearly screwed trying to buy Grauniad but gave up and went to platform as train came) and did a circuit of Hooked on Books (three books at 50p; wanted to buy a couple of Tennants and a Rebus but £2.99) and the chairity shops. Didn't get to the outlet and the size of the queue in Woollies stopped any purchases. Had some Kentucky Fried Chicken which was naughty but can't otherwise be done this side of Ashford (or Folkestone or Ramsgate or Margate).
Train onto to Deal - and I nearly lost Deal itself as the town centre is not signposted. I feel I lost a couple of chairity shops and maybe another second hand shop, but then there's one on Middle Street I haven't found. Talked myself into the market - four books at 50p - and have his card as he has inherited a large pile of sf at 50p a book. I had time for a 99 and sat looking at the beach.
Back home via Sainsbury's and Dover, and bus to the Carbuncle. Couple of hours reading/scribbling on 50 Key Figures introduction and discover forthcoming gigs of Mark Watson (which I've seen twice - the warm up and the Edinburgh versions), Count Arthur Strong (mixed feelings - he is comedy genius or bloody annoying) and Clive James (a legend). Then Rich Hall as support to Otis Lee Crenshaw, of which, more.
At busstop: young people, semi-drunk, discussing last night:
"I was really drunk."
"Yes, you were shouting at him, and then you got out your laptop."
You what? Did he log on to Facebook and stick his vampires on the other guy's werewolves?
Back to my local, where the Welcome Home Stoney party I'd forgotten was still in full swing and threatening to degenerate into, well, something. D. didn't have the DVD I'd lent NW and NW had lent him, despite a texted reminder. Heigho.
