Hello?

Mr Ant,


No, I am still here. I have no social life, and am officially a (sob) 'rugby widow', although quite why he had to leave the house at 10.00 am this morning for a match that didn't kick off until 3.00 pm didn't really make sense to me. Being a trophy wife is not all it is cracked up to be.


The most excitement I have had all day was cleaning my diamonds in a big glass of Gordons Gin!

Was he watching it down the pub? Somehow I suspect he's more of a corporate-box type of chap. But a 10am start in order to nab a good spot in the boozer is not unheard of. Perhaps a tad extreme though.

I think everyone, me included, has been enjoying the glorious sunshine this weekend.B) Dulwich park was overrun today - the number of people made it seem more like a hot August day and there were big queues at both ice creams vans.


Those ice cream vans give you a good insight into the manners of Dulwich children. Once I was in a very long queue in the park for a lolly and when a dad asked his adorable darling which ice cream she wanted, she replied "All of them!" - I kid you not!


I even went in the garden and started doing my spring pruning today. Good weather also forecast for next week - hurrah!

I was there too, Ko. Along with everyone else from miles around, it seems.


To be honest, it was all a bit much for me. I just wanted a quiet, relaxing walk. Instead I got caught up in crowdaggeddon at the swings.

Pressed the wrong link and came to the earliest thread on this site. If we ever think EDF is dull nowadays see how awful it was then! Are any of the original posters still around to defend this view. PS this is a facetious post so don't get on your high horses.

    • I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010
    • Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geolocation speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.
    • Another recommendation for Half Moon- my youngest daughter attended and it was by far the best nursery we’ve ever experienced. The teachers are just wonderful and they care so much for the children (who, in return, love them to bits). There’s also a very low staff turnover, so there’s real stability and continuity for the children. My daughter left each day so happy and proud to show me what she’d learnt. It’s amazing!
    • Did you take the car number? Otherwise the council wil have to look through it for an address.
