Office just opened for two days a week max of 10 people allowed (usually 30/40). We can all work from home and no pressure at all to go back. I'm ok wah but don't really like it if I'm honest. Prefer not having work in my house and quite like having others around. I went in for the first time last week - glorious! Empty trains, aircon office, two screens, proper chair and table, printer... Will hope to go for another day next week.

Going to bite the bullet and sell the circa 1000+ CDs I never listen to and liberate some space. What experience do people have of using the various selling sites? I'm obviously used to selling on eBay but can't be bothered to do each Cd individually so was thinking of MusicMagpie, Ziffit or Zapper or a n other. The genres I'll be selling are eclectic - indies, rock, clicks and bleeps, weird stuff... Has anyone done this and which generated best return?

They will pass you the form through the window at DMC if you arrange to collect one. No problem.

Just come back from Blackfriars to Peckham, 445 on Sat. Very quiet indeed. Roughly 80% wearing masks but carriages so empty was easy to stay distant. Been up to London Bridge and back on Saturday mornings and again, super quiet. Haven't been on the ginger line at all but just from seeing it go past, looks fairly quiet.

Thanks. Both in line with what I thought. I haven't had it and am not travelling - but my parents have neighbours who live half time in Europe, frequently to ing and fro ing across the Channel. The neighbours have both definitely had Covid. I confess to being a curtain twitching nosey neighbour, worried about my folks, curious to see, when they return this time, what they do. On past months' evidence, pay no notice at all I suspect!

So, if you've already had Covid do you still have to quarantine on return from overseas? Can't seem to find the answer. I'm presuming yes because there is still no firm view on whether you can get it twice. (Hypothetical question - I'm not going anywhere!)

Anyone else watching Apocalypse Now just to drown out the noise of the endless helicopters hovering overhead?

I don't Im afraid - but the the northbound buses took a west bound diversion at Marble Arch weirdly. Not sure if they directed cars a different way?

Has anyone bought sedum matting to put on top of their bin covers? Any recommendations for suppliers?

Thanks all.

So my conundrum is... I used to cycle a lot before I moved to London, always ok on busy roads etc but stopped cycling when I moved here circa 20 years ago. Getting back on my bike now, but seem to have lost ability to look over my shoulder and keep an eye on road in front whilst maintaining a straight line! Any exercise recommendations for increasing flexibility?! At present if it's a busy road I'm just stopping until traffic goes and I can turn, or getting off and walking across busy junctions.

Thanks for this. At least the site has been updated now! Unfortunately the test forms issued by GPs still have the usual longer opening hours printed on them so you don't know til you get there.

So after schlepping to Kings for a blood test only to find they're operating reduced hours and I'd missed them (not complaining, shortage of staff, I get it), I thought I'd try the new TJ Centre next week. Does anyone know if they are operating at the full advertised hours for blood tests and any sense of how busy first thing in morning?

Anstey Horne come well recommended. Using at present.

So, I went for Persepolis in the end and was not disappointed. ?28 for dinner for two and it was an absolute feast with plenty leftover for tomorrow. Babur will be saved for another day. Two other fancy options I found. Artusi do a delivery, as does Cafe Murano in Bermondsey. Both are a bit more 'cook it yourself' but look good.

Wow! Thanks TheCat - looks great!

Yep! Small selection but they do a dinner date for two with mezze, main course and dessert. Good value.

Birthday coming up and fancy having a nice dinner delivered. Looking for something a little fancier than pizza or Indian but it does need to be veggie. Pondering Persepolis. Any one got any other interesting ideas?

The Chinese/Vietnamese fish shop in Peckham down the side of Morrisons? Opposite Primark? Usually pretty good stock.

Quite a few on the path from Peckham Libray to Burgess Park, although people were put picking on Saturday.

Nunhead Gardener is. ?10 delivery charge thoug.

Van and 6 police slowly and in a very leisurely fashion doing a sweep of the Holly Grove undergrowth yesterday circa 630pm. Guess it was a routine knife sweep whilst also providing officers with some fresh air!

Do you have to use a site like Deliveroo or Just Eat or just phone them direct?
