My Eastercon Schedule

I haven't yet pinned it down, but I need a trip to London and one to Rochester/Chatham/Gillingham, ideally with Rainham thrown in. Rochester and Chatham are walking distance, but Gillingham likely needs a bus/train to combine with the other two. One I can do tomorrow, one I will do Saturday. London ought to be the Darwin exhibition; Wednesday feels better for that. I could also do with buying the Picasso catalogue for advance reading.

Friday, I would rather like to watch the Godfather trilogy, but more useful would be Martian Chronicles or Blakes Seven series two and three.

Sunday, then, more DVD watching, and I hear the pub is shut for a private function. I've pencilled in a visit to Dave at the Carps.

Monday - it'd be nice to get out, but it's Sunday services. Whitstable? Or maybe sit in a cafe in Ramsgate.

I'd like to get some fiction writing done, as it's been too long. Can I justify that right now? Can I afford not to?


I will be ping-ponging between LA and Liverpool and Leuven from the end of the month, and it seems only appropriate to visit London and Lydd and [L]eastbourne in the meantime. Maybe not Lydd.

Lydd really is not that exciting! It makes Folkestone look like a heaving metropolis.

Oh, I don't know. I had a very pleasant twenty-five minutes there. And it's the means of sneaking over the Kent border in Sussex with the Gold Megarider.

I confess it was mostly getting away from Brooklands; if I did it again I'd just head back to Ashford.

Vaguely relevantly: C. and his two brothers all live in cities beginning with L. We've moved between two parts of greater London, both of which began with L. It's a theme.

Life, brought to you by the letter L

We were in Rochester the other day, and all the reminders of what a shithole Medway is came rushing back to the point where all I wanted to do was run home.

So have fun :).

Ah, but Rochester high street pleasingly lacks the identikit clonage of most high streets, I have yet to explore castle and cathedral, and Baggins' Bazaar has its moments. Chavham, on the other hand...

Heh, the Bazaar was the entire purpose of the trip :D.
