SL Day 23

A productive day, leavened by some bad news. I've also caught up another episode and a half of Ashes to Ashes, which seems to be hinting at the it's-all-a-spaceship solution, and thus more "Major Tom" than "Life on Mars".

I watched - probably rewatched - the first two Omen movies, which would be on the very edge of sf, but for the presumably 1982 (or maybe 1989) setting of Damien: Omen II.

( LXXIII: Kilgore Trout, Venus on the Half-Shell (1975) )

And now the bad news: Tom the Cheese Man is to retire. I shall have to go to Whitstable more to use the cheese shop there, or Faversham market. I am not happy, but unsurprised.

I am tempted by a number of exhibitions in Chichester which end this month - but I see that 3 1/2 hours is the likely journey time there, and I plan to go there in the Summer for the women surrealists. But, doing a little bit of research on Wiki (spawn of the devil) pedia, I discover: Died 12 December 1971 (1971-12-13) (aged 1962). H'mmm.
