Woke around 0845 and got dressed...descended to the restaurant for breakfast. Packed my stuff up, and checked out. Most of my inspections today were in and around Gillingham, and Rainham. ad finished by lunchtime, and headed for the Hempstead Valley shopping centre to find some lunch. Ate in the car in the car park, then turned for home. Slow going on the M2, as there was a lorry fire just past Gravesend...took half-an-hour to get past! Slow going through north London, too. Got in around 1600. Aki had been busy prepping for this evening's guests. We managed a bite to eat before they turned up at 2000 for the Book Club get together. Reviews for "Brighton Rock" were mostly favourable, though Gareth found it all a bit bleak, and the depiction of life on the impoverished edge of 1930s society wasn't to Dulcie's taste...you begin to wonder why she wanted to join a Book Club in the first place!?! The next read was chosen as "Silence" by one of Japan's foremost contemporary novelists...made into a film by Scorcese five years or so ago...I don't think Dulcie will enjoy it much!!!
