Needing A Bit Of A Push For A Circus Intervention

We did a later run this morning, then headed back to The Black Horse at Thurnham for a quick pint followed by a late lunch at Frederic's Cafe Bistro in town.
Frederic's always has such a lovely vibe about it (it just feels like everyone is happy to be there) - you're shown to your table by one of the always smartly dressed and welcoming waiters or waitresses, your order is taken swiftly, your food and drink arrives promptly - we both settled on croque-monsieur and a cappucinno - it even has proper tablecloths - and all at a reasonable price. What's not to love!
We then had a stroll around town to walk off our lunch and of course to try and get our images for the day. I must admit I was struggling to capture anything until this slightly dishevelled circus poster displayed on an empty shop door luckily intervened - the colours just jumped out at me and I like the guy's head peeking out above the bottom of the frame on the left hand side.
We then decided on a visit to the bookshop and I treated myself to three new tomes - Yellowface by Rebecca F.Kuang - a publishing based thriller about a failed writer who steals a rival's final manuscript after she is killed in a freak accident, Green Dot by Madeleine Grey - about a twenty-something office worker who has an affair with an older colleague and is described as combining "the intensity of Annie Ernaux's A Simple Passion with the lightness of Bridget Jones's Diary and the irreverence of Fleabag" (quite a lot to live up to!) - and The Last Man Of Bombay by Vaseem Khan - the third in the series of detective stories following Inspector Persis Wadia, the only woman in the Indian police force, in the early 1950's. Best of all they only cost me £4.41 as I'd managed to save up £20 on my Waterstone's card.
After all that 'activity' we just felt like watching some telly when we got back and found a documentary about Yacht Rock on Sky Arts. It was a broad musical style, originally known as the West Coast Sound or adult-orientated rock, that drew on sources such as smooth soul and jazz, R&B and disco and had common stylistic traits including high production values, clean vocals and tight, catchy choruses and was one of the most commercially successful music genres from the mid 70's until the mid 80's - with artists such as Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins and, in my opinion, the peerless Michael McDonald. It was wonderful to be reminded of such glorious music!
The term "Yacht Rock" was actually only coined 25 years after its heyday following an affectionately comic mockumentary which was first broadcast on You Tube in 2005.
