Next up - one or two more photos from my week off down in deepest darkest Kent... The weather wasn't that great and I didn't wander too far - so I really didn't take that many photos at all, I'm afraid.

A BRIEF GALLERY FROM KENT...
MY BRIEF KENT DIARY
Friday 6th April 2018
I had a very smooth trip down to Folkestone listening to lots of pop music to help me on my way; it made for a bit of a change from podcasts... (Thanks Kylie! Loving the new album!) I did nip out into the garden for a little while before dinner, took some photos and recorded for one of the podcasts that I worked on during my stay. It was one of the few occasions that I went out when the weather was sunny! There was sun a couple of other times - but I was busy inside and missed out. The rest of the evening I worked on podcasts and watched TV.
Saturday 7th April 2018
I woke up early on the Saturday to record with Toppie Smellie! It was well worth it and we recorded enough for a full episode and I put something away for the Halloween episode later in the year. A lot of what we recorded became part of episode 162: WHAT I GOT UP TO ON FRIDAY THE 13TH. The rest of the day I spent working on new podcasts - both editing and recording and I also released episode 160: MUSIC ON YOUR BIRTHDAY.
Sunday 8th April 2018
On Sunday I began work on editing my next episode and started to record my Friday The 13th show - recording in the flat and also briefly in the garden. I enjoyed working on this episode as it allowed me to be very silly whilst sounding very serious and committed! The rest of the day was spent watching DVDs.
Monday 9th April 2018
Monday was my busiest day by far... In the morning I headed to Canterbury by bus and then headed for the Curzon cinema to see Wes Anderson's latest - Isle Of Dogs. (Loved it!) Whilst there I began to record for a future episode of the podcast involving the return of some old villains of the show! I can't say too much for the moment... I also managed to visit HMV and a cafe that had been recommended to me before heading for the shops and then getting a bus back in good time to "'ave me tea." More editing and TV watching followed!!
Tuesday 10th April 2018
Technically my Monday/Tuesday blended into one as I was up very early Tuesday morning to record with the L.O.T.S.L. team; but it was well worth it, as always... Once I'd had a bit more of a snooze and done more TV watching and editing - I did make it outside for a bit of recording; but not for terribly long! I managed quite a bit of recording today - completing the episode that I had begun in Canterbury the day before!
Wednesday 11th April 2018
On Wednesday I didn't do a great deal other than watching TV and editing - although I did record an article for ROUND THE ARCHIVES about the 70s Sid James comedy show, Bless This House - which required me to watch some episodes and also the 1972 movie; which I rather enjoyed. I also finished editing and released episode 161 of the podcast: WHAT'S WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS!? (VACATION EDITION) and moved straight on to episode 162 concerning Friday The 13th.
Thursday 12th April 2018
I didn't go far on Thursday either as it was another misty day - although I did make it outside for a while for a spot of recording in the afternoon. However it was another busy recording day - finishing one episode, recording bits of my 2018 Halloween episode and doing one or two little messages for Big Fatty. Around tea-time I also got to record a whole episode with Dr Wes Stone from L.O.T.S.L. for episode 164; something I've been looking forward to doing for a while... A very nice chat.
Friday 13th April 2018
Today I headed home and was back by early afternoon! Another smooth journey! It was a good holiday all in all, but it flew by and I would have liked to have gone out more; maybe next year!
Next time I'll be looking ahead to my trip to Denmark and we'll have more podcasts to discuss...
That's all for now... Take care - more soon,
Yeti hugs,
Paul (aka Shy Yeti) xx
