Do you know if the fox is still there? Bit worried about it! I could head down if needed but it's quite out of my way.

Can you call the fox project? They have a mobile ambulance until 9pm. http://foxproject.org.uk/ Scroll to the bottom for ambulance contact details

Hi Wee Quinnie, You don't say whether he is planning to come back to stay permanently or whether he just wants to stay a night or two and if so, why. As far as the rules are concerned: If permanently I think it is fine. He's essentially returning home rather than staying away. Moving house is also allowed http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/350/regulation/6/made (6L) and students are allowed to return to the family home for the duration of lockdown. If just for a night or two it's different and really depends why he wants / needs to do this. I think there would need to be a very good reason. How you feel about it is a different matter & I guess that depends on your own risk factors. I think it would be fair enough to ask him to take extra precautions for a period of time before returning (median incubation period is 5 days but it can be up to 14). Once he is back you might want to keep 2 metres apart for another period &/or ask him to do some extra cleaning. More info here https://www.germdefence.org/index.html But that is very much down to your personal feeling.

Thanks Gumshoe. Yes, I'm all confuzzled with the bank holidays! Someone else has since explained. Will try to come in next Mon, but good to know there will be other possibilities in the future.

Does that include the 11th May, despite being a bank holiday? And do you know whether you are likely to be continuing beyond the 11th? Thanks

If you can get it to the Foodbank I'm sure they'd be happy to take it Looks like your nearest drop off point is at the top of Rye Lane near the library and police station https://southwark.foodbank.org.uk/give-help/donate-food/

Hi Hannah I'm afraid I don't know of anything, but it seems your old company can rehire & then furlough you.

Others such as flu mutate allowing reinfection - which is why the flu vaccine has to be reconfigured each year. For others immunity is not lifelong - the evidence from other coronaviruses is that immunity is fairly short lived. Furthermore, because this is a new virus we cannot be certain that infection does confer immunity Of particular relevance "There are other coronaviruses circulating among humans and although they induce immunity, this doesn?t last. ?Some other viruses in the coronavirus family, such as those that cause common colds, tend to induce immunity that is relatively short-lived, at around three months,? says Peter Openshaw at Imperial College London."

Hi Jubels, Sounds horrible. Which? offer good consumer legal advice. You do have to be a member but I don't think there is a minimum term for membership. This might be another option http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/schools/law-and-social-sciences/subjects/law/legal-advice-clinic There is also Cambridge House legal advice centre in Camberwell, not sure whether they do consumer law but if not might recommend someone who does. Hope that helps.

More on the AI element on Radio 4's Inside Health https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08x9ckx Including quite a "robust" discussion between babylons founder and the program's resident sceptic, GP Margaret McCartney.

I went yesterday at around 6 p.m. I would estimate the queue was around 10 m long. The water looks quite busy though, much more so than usual- maybe about a metre or a bit more separating each swimmer hope that's helpful

Maybe Sesami in Herne Hill, On Railton Road by the station

Hi Ilona, Check any paved areas just outside your flat, if you see any cracks with a small mound of sand like material & ant procession that's the nest - boiling water down it will finish em. Otherwise powder poison is good (with obvious caution re pets and children) Hope vaguely helpful...

Hi Tasha this is starting up soon, not sure whether dementia friendly though http://www.loughboroughjunction.org/new-free-singing-group-at-longfield-hall-starts-thursday-26-april-2018

Just seen this which might be of interest Note:last bit is just talking

I might be interested in this if the class was later in the morning or afternoon/early evening + relatively low intensity. Thanks for suggesting.

There's a singing group in forest hill if that's not too far https://arts4dementia.org.uk/?post_type=event&p=1318 If you click on find events in the top right hand corner you can search for other stuff too

Hi possiblenewbie, JAGS pool is lovely, ozone treated so v gentle on the skin and windows on 2 sides so really light (windows are not overlooked). Downsides are: limited opening times - not at all during school hours and dedicated lane swim only before 9am / after 8pm. You can lane swim 5-8pm and weekends, but at least half the pool is for general swimming/lessons so you will definitely have to share the lane and it can get crowded. In short: great if you will be swimming early morning or after 8pm, otherwise I would suggest trying it first (I think you can get a free day pass). Changing rooms are average - probably not as nice as other private gyms but better than council pools. In the summer brockwell lido is great, not heated though so very chilly in the winter!! Hope that's helpful

Hi Minitoots, this place might suit https://southlondonmakerspace.org/about/
