Kent for free sold out

Anyone feeling hard done by working this magically appearing non day and not getting paid any extra for it feeling hard done by? I'm not, they pointed out on BBC Breakfast today that even though we have this extra day, we have one less working day this year than last year, and next year one less day again. It's all down to where the weekends fall. Phew.

Kent is opened up for free today, www.visitkent.co.uk are giving away tickets to all sorts of attractions. Clare remembered and tried to get us some tickets to Port Lympne, but at opening time this morning all the best freebies were suspiciously gone already. We got some tickets to the Canterbury Tales exhibition, going next month. There are still some left for minor things, here's the original report from FG:

More than 15,000 free tickets to top visitor attractions across the county are available for Kent's Big Day Out.

Among those taking part are: Godinton House & Gardens, The Canterbury Tales, Dover Castle, Rochester Castle, Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, Ramsgate Maritime Museum.

The free tickets, two per household, will be available fom 29th February 2008, at www.visitkent.co.uk

Organisers at VisitKent are urging everyone to book early to avoid disappointment.

Bar 98

Last night saw us drinking in the Rochester Castle (very busy, and not just with tramps and mentals) and the Coach and Horses, and then on to The Defoe (where I was roundly thrashed by Clare, and then to Il Bacio for the much anticipated meal...

Seems there's a new bar on Stoke Newington Church Street, at number 98, called Bar 98... looked quite smart from the outside, but not sure it's our sort of place... not sure if it's the look of the place, or just the name and my beery state, but it reminded me of Gate 28 in Sandgate, which I've been to lots and don't much like. Nice enough place but no real ales. I'm so narrow minded.

Our trip to Spitalfields today wasn't the success I'd hoped today, found the lizard shaped metal bathroom furnishings, but they weren't as good as I'd remembered, so we came back empty handed. Foolishly we forgot to stock up on tinned food and candles, in preparation for this weeks snow storms and that...
