Here are the pictures of the pictures, another one not to
miss, the exhibition is on until Wednesday including Sunday, the pictures will
expand if clicked on. I managed to catch the artist in the gallery, so photo of
her too.
Oh My Cod fish and chip shop is now open in King Street.
Having picked up a special offer £2.99 cake at the end of
It’s sell by date in Waitrose to amuse my children, can I take some to school
dad? Will you take a picture of it dad? And so on, when I opened Google+ which
is where the photos from my phone go automatically, I got a message on the cake
one saying: Is this a picture of Michael Child?
One of the flats near to my bookshop caught fire yesterday,
I am glad to report that no one was hurt and the fire brigade put it out before
it spread to the other flats in the same building.
A side effect of this was that my bookshop was behind the
cordoned off area “Fire in progress do not enter” or whatever it said. Strangely
enough this didn’t seem to prevent my bookshop customers from getting through,
so while the drama was going on we carried on trading.
In the interesting modern world there are now so few shops,
other than those selling food and clothes where one can engage in normal
shopping now, I can understand why we are still fairly busy. A prime example of this problem is the new exhibition at The
Turner Contemporary, you can buy the
exhibition catalogue in the gallery’s shop for fifteen quid or buy it online new
and including postage for about a tenner.
However you look at it this it takes the pleasure out of
shopping and you would have thought that between them the gallery and the
publisher could have ensured that the catalogue was competitively priced.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
