The colours so bright that it reflects off the houses on the other side of the street, and a for few minutes it seems the whole word is on fire.


So, the day was filled with me working on the three reports, which for the most part was me staring into the middle distance looking for inspiration.
And making brews, of course.
I have meetings all after for the presentations, and once done, with more notes taken, my brain had turned to mush so logged off and did some more staring into space.
Time was in short supply, as pretty much as soon as we ate dinner, I would head out to meet up with a friend to go and see a gig on Thanet. So, for ease, I defrosted some tagine and boiled some rice. So when Jools came home I woolfed it down, left Jools to wash up, I grabbed my coat and climbed in the car.
It was a pleasant drove up to Sandwich and onto the isle which is no longer an island.
I was to meet Pete at The Royston before walking down to a pub for the gig.
I parked opposite the micropub, went in and grabbed a pint to nurse until Peter tuned up.
After they downed two rounds, I drove the car to The Wrotham Inn (pronounced Root-ham) to see the main two figures in R&B revivalists, Nine Below Zero do two sets of soul and blues. But mainly blues.
I first saw them on one of the Young Ones shows, looking like a younger Dr Feelgood, they also played fast, stripped down R&B and were great.

So, anyway. We meet at the pub, go in and its not crowded, and the duo have set up on the tiny stage, and dead on eight they pick up their instruments and begin, 90 minutes of blues and soul, which was really very good, all the better for being in a small venue.
