At the races
I’ve lived close to Epsom racecourse for a very long time but I think this was only my 2nd or 3rd visit to a race meeting. This was just a small event and my visit was brief.

I miss playing badminton
I very much enjoyed yesterday’s World Championship Badminton Finals. I miss playing, though my level was nowhere near that of the professionals! Being tall and having long legs helped me, but sadly that wasn’t sufficient, and in the end I was beaten by injury and age.

Chatham and Rochester, Kent
Chatham Dockyard is a terrific place to visit, and this was my third or fourth visit. However I baulked at the £21 entry fee and decided to abandon the visit. After all, I already had loads of pictures from the previous visits!
After a bus ride to the nearby Rochester, I headed for the huge second-hand bookshop Baggins Book Bazaar, which, with half a million books, claims to be ‘England’s largest second-hand and rare bookshop’. I honestly think it’s possible to get lost in this amazing bookshop!I bought three novels and was particularly taken by the cover of the New Crimes anthology.
While waiting at Rochester station I took a panoramic picture (multiple shots stitched together) of the track and platform. Note how the straight track has been curved by the panorama. I like the effect even though it might not be a truthful image.

Hampton Court Palace
Yet more images of a visit to Hampton Court Palace, so I’ve heavily photoshopped some of them to add a bit of interest!

The Big Sick
A romcom is not usually my thing, conjuring up images of trailers for an endless number of Jennifer Aniston films on tv. However, on an overcast day and with no sign of the promised sunshine, The Big Sick has been well reviewed and was showing at my almost-local cinema.A film about relationships and cultural differences, it’s a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. A fair amount of humour, a couple of paper-hankie moments, and a likeable and well acted cast of characters, make for a pretty decent movie.
