I had breakfast 8 to 9 am and lunch 12 to 1 at Ship Shape
café which is at Ramsgate Harbour arches, while I was there I started a
watercolour sketch looking southwest i.e. with the sun mostly behind me.
Very reasonable café prices, the toast, marmalade and cup of
tea was £2 and the all day breakfast £4.
Here is the watercolour sketch so far and below the photos I
took to record this in chronological order.
On the Manston front the update relates to the new material
that has appeared today on the TDC planning website at https://planning.thanet.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=O5Z2F2QE00300
before you go there it is as well to note that the website is unpredictable and
often pages won’t open. Patience is the key here.
This information relates to the site owner, Discovery Park’s
application for a mixed use development to provide housing and employment.
This new information is responses from members of the public
and other interested parties to the planning application (you can submit a
response to this application using the council’s website) responses so far
either support the application are against the application or are neutral.
The aspect of this that I don’t understand is that while
some of the applications have the respondents name and the beginning of their
address redacted. Others just say this information isn’t available.
This is an example.
With tdc planning applications anyone can support or object
to them, they don’t have to be Thanet council taxpayers or Thanet residents, but
what concerns me is more here is that if the council don’t have a name and
address for respondents it may be possible for some people to object to support
the application multiple times. This tdc planning website is a new one and the
way online responses are now handled is different to the old one.
On the bookshop front I have spent the last two days
processing books that I have bought for stock in my bookshop, I think my
bookshop is fairly unique inasmuch as we publish details about what we are up
to on the internet. One of us takes pictures of all of the books after we have
priced them and before we put them on the shelves and we publish these pictures
online at the end of every working day here http://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/
As a bookshop we have a fairly broad price structure, in the
last couple of weeks the cheapest book I have sold in the shop was 5p and the
dearest £1,000.
Today the cheapest book I priced was 5p
This is a picture of all today's reject books that we will sell
for either 5p or 10p or they will go off for paper recycling.
The dearest book I priced today was £95 (pictures below) about
tools
The dearest novel this one, like Noddy early PG Wodehouse is
identified by the books on flaps of the dustjacket, I think this one will be
about £50.
The crazy ones the two very large children’s books, too big
to go on our shelves, so on the table in the children’s section.

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.
