Same here

I'm in exactly the same situation as all of you who have not received post over the past 3-4 weeks. I have received two Christmas cards by post and I know of many friends and family who have sent cards. I'm in my 70s and it means a lot to me to be able to keep in touch - especially at this time of year. It seems impossible to send a text or an email to Peckham sorting office. Thought I found a number to which I could a text but it didn't work. I live in SE22 and baulk at the thought of walking to Peckham a mile away to try to retrieve my post.

A Triple Alliance ? music from France, Germany and England The Ionian Singers and Timothy Salter (conductor and piano) are joined by the clarinettist Marina Finnamore in a programme of music from France, Germany and England. Finzi is represented in both choral and instrumental form, with the English element complemented by two of Walton?s short choral pieces and the first performance of Ave verum corpus, a new work by Nicholas Ansdell-Evans. The French music is by Poulenc (from his Sept Chansons of 1936), with clarinet and piano music by Debussy (Premi?re Rhapsodie) and Messager. From Germany come Schumann?s Fantasy Pieces op.73 for clarinet and piano and two of Brahms?s contemplative part-songs. The concert concludes with Salter?s transcription of three Wolf songs that bring all the performers together.

music for voices, viola and harp The Ionian Singers and their conductor Timothy Salter will be joined by violist Luba Tunnicliffe and harpist Oliver Wass, members of the Pell?as Ensemble, for a concert on Saturday 25th November in All Saints Church, Rosendale Road.

A selection of piano pieces and songs by Debussy, transcribed by Salter, and a rarely heard choral piece by American composer Dominick Argento, his robust setting of Keats? celebratory poem Hymn to Apollo, complete the programme.

You would be very welcome to come to a rehearsal for a 'taster' session on 16 September if you are free to see if that's the kind of choir you would like to join. Please give me a ring on 07950 143 916 or 020 8693 1051 to discuss or write to [email protected] for more information. Kind regards, Ulla Gray (sec) www.ioniansingers.co.uk

Can anyone recommend a firm or people who can repair drains, check gutters and repair outside wall on a 3-storey house?

As per letter from Montagu Evans, Chartered Surveyors to households in the area, The old police station has been sold to Dulwich Property Holdings Ltd who intend to develop the site for housing. The proposal is to build five town houses in Upland Road opposite the garden centre. The house that is presently boarded up is to be converted into four flats. The houses will comprise a basement (kitchen and dining area), ground floor living room, another two floors comprising two bedrooms on each floor and an attic with one bedroom and a bathroom. No parking spaces have been allocated to this housing development. If the plans had been for (say) three town houses on two floors it would have been acceptable, but to build houses incorporating three floors and a basement is out of character with the immediate surroundings and should not be allowed.

Does anyone know how to create bar codes for ISMN numbers (printed music)?

Can anyone recomment an IT person, who will come to the house and deal with repairs, upkeep and computer queries.
