Monkey

I am very surprised. I have seen them every morning for at least six months I would say and they have never said a word to me, good or bad. They usually seem to be having a good laugh with each other. I hear what you say though. Why don't you chat to the owner of the shop? I also highly recommend the F*** o** approach which often does the trick!

Will read anything. Thanks- will look up The Magus tomorrow. I read Restless recently. It was rather good.

A black and white cat has appeared on my doorstep. He's been here all afternoon. I live on Whateley Road. His size is above average I'd say but he is slender. He's very friendly. No collar.

Unfortunately the council tax people are not that regarding.

I bought a flat in East Dulwich 14 months ago. Believe it or not but my property has still not been registered. Some paperwork seems to be stuck with the seller's lazy solicitors. No amount of chasing, letters and faxes seem to do anything about it. My advice: don't buy from property developers. They're bound to use cheap (+stupid/lazy) estate agents and solicitors and once they have their money, they won't do anything else for you. Anybody agrees?
