After breakfast in bed\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m feeling a little sad this morning. Partly down to the change in weather, perhaps? It\u2019s still grey n\u2019 rainy. But more due to the knowledge this terrific little holiday is nearing its end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could sooo<\/em> do with another week! Not just another week off work, either. But another week elsewhere. Somewhere different. 17 Markwick Terrace, where we\u2019ve been staying, is wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teresa cooked a fab lunch, of sardines n\u2019 \u2018taters, tomatoes, etc, on flatbreads. We\u2019ll pop out to Bookbusters in a bit. I\u2019d like to get Tintin & The Lake of Sharks<\/em>, the only Tintin album I\u2019ve never previously owned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I nearly bought it in Rye Bookshop. It Teresa talked me out of it. It\u2019s not officially part of the Herg\u00e9 canon. Although it was supervised by him. And it came out in 1972, the year o\u2019 my birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To complete my collection?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re planning to visit Chartwell, NT, tomorrow, en-route home. And also, to pick up a brand new toilet, that Dad and Claire happened to have surplus! Thanks, folks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, we went to Bookbusters, and even the Hastings Oxfam (shouldn\u2019t have bothered with the latter, esp\u2019 as it was in the soulless and busy town centre), in search of Tintin. No dice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did get a gift for Mel, as a thank you for looking after Chester (two gifts actually: a stick of rock and a book on The Tudors). I got a book on the Pre-Raph\u2019s, for Teresa. And, for myself, a little ex-library hardback of Thomas Hardy\u2019s \u2018unstageable\u2019 Napoleonic play, The Dynasts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back \u2018home\u2019, watching Kind Hearts & Coronets<\/em>, a terrific old Ealing film. A lack comedy, in which the truly wonderful AlecGuiness plays numerous ill-fated members of the d\u2019Ascoyne family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fab\u2019 food and fun continue\u2026 a lovely omelette, with home made fries and salad. We watched most of Two Way Stretch<\/em>, with Peter Sellers and co. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
