First the pages of Thanet Figaro Magazine which should
enlarge if clicked on compulsively, many thanks to Richard who sent them to me.
Found under the floor so wholly, holey, holy,
thee who gets most holes gets most magazine, sorrow I didn’t make them.
My last appointment at Church Hill Dental
Practice tomorrow and so with teeth on the mind as it were, as a bookseller this
is more a Greene – Tench type of kidney, so actually ether, vultures not seagulls
“little idiot heads and dusty serrated wings” oh no, I’m orff; but? Well it was
the dental add in the mag which brought this rather sexist cartoon to mind.
Nowadays of course poor old Graham wouldn’t have had to lose
a molar for his moment of oblivion, but just pop into the gourmet shop and buy
the gas.
There is a lot of graffiti where I am painting at the moment in Canterbury and as it is local I was wondering if anyone's relations were responsible.
On to out and about the photos won’t be that good as cameras
like light so an element of luck is involved particularly on the camera shake
front when taking snaps while walking about with a camera that fits comfortably
in my pocket, anyway here is what’s on the camera card for today http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/118l/
The most interesting aspect being the temporary closure of
the Schoolwear Centre in Harbour Street Ramsgate because of safety issues with the
shop building.
Onto the bookshop front and the January sale
Is/was a shilling a lot for a book? 10/- I don’t know really
5p to 50p sounds less – perhaps, anyway working on my experiments with the
bookshop windows and the very cheap end of the books init.
Thoughts from customers would help on this one, all books less
than 50p in one window that customers can get into seems to be working. I think
perhaps it needs a seat in the window.
I cleaned the glass today, difficult when it’s cold as the
water doesn’t evaporate easily so the glass can smear.
For the dedicated followers here are the books that we put
out today http://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/funnybones-in-bookshop.html

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.
