'Client group': is this really how services think of these criminal types? God help us.

Saw the Ferryman at the Royal Court at last. Rather brilliant, if a bit long at three and a quarter hours, particularly if you've forgotten that the slips are only suitable for size 10 and under. Worth it for the baby alone.

Seriously, though, here's government info including a list of officially recognised organisations, among them King's. https://www.gov.uk/get-dna-test

Beat me to it!

I had something like that for about 3 weeks in Jan; another bout, maybe unconnected, in March but generally very tired since the start of the year. Recently I started taking a higher dose of vitamin D (3,000iu spray) and that seems to have helped, as far as you can ever tell with these things. Sometimes they just seem to hang around till summer comes.

You poor thing, what a horrible experience though good to hear you weren't physically hurt. These kids are a total menace and it's happening all the time. I wish the police would crack down on it.

And 33 months since it closed. Looking back at another thread at the time, the OP said it was due to reopen in 2017. What did Toff know that we didn't, I wonder?

Train or number 40 to London Bridge, or 42 to Bishopsgate, then 149.

No need to leave SE London, lots in Dulwich Woods / Sydenham nature reserve today.

I heard this poem again yesterday and learned it by heart so I can recite it slowly at the brandy stage of dinner parties, like Uncle Monty in Withnail. I always thought this thread should have gone on forever, BTW. Love after love, by Derek Walcott The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.

Did they say which year?

Done some googling. According to their history, on his death Sir Francis Bourgeois donated the painting collection he had amassed with his partner Desenfans to Dulwich College. His friend Sir John Soane was asked to help with the building and they were originally going to use the west wing of the college but found it too delapidated so designed a new one. Perhaps these days the gallery has its own charitable status but its history suggests it's part of the Dulwich Estate. Hopefully someone out there knows the right answer. I guess we should also add that the OP hasn't confirmed this is who she meant so this could be a complete red herring.

Of the 36 I wonder how many are front of house though. That seemed to be part of the grievance the staff had.

I assumed some links exist at the trust level as it's on the central bit of the Dulwich Estate and the buildings seem to connect but I could be wrong.

Cherry tree blossom, wisteria and lilacs.

Personally I'd have some sympathy with the OP if so. Some people may recall the internal reorg the DPG did a couple of years back which I think some of the then staff feared was likely to lead to relying more on volunteers and a drop in service. While it's great that people choose to give up their time for good causes let's not forget that there is also a commercial aspect to the decision to staff in this way. The DPG and Dulwich Estate aren't exactly poor.

How about this one from IKEA? http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/lighting/ceiling-lights/knappa-pendant-lamp-white-art-50070651/ or this one (useful if dinner party conversation flags): http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/lighting/ceiling-lights/ikea-ps-2014-pendant-lamp-white-turquoise-art-40251119/ or this one's a bit like the one you have already: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/lighting/ceiling-lights/maskros-pendant-lamp-art-30190447/

Was your existing one from BHS by any chance? I've got a similar one in a smaller size in a bedroom. BHS was great for lighting.

Dulwich Picture Gallery?

Or looking for people to mug perhaps? That seems to be the way of it these days sadly. Good that you reported them.

There's a blossoming tree halfway down my road that's absolutely alive with bees the last few days. I can stand there for ages just listening to them. Glorious.

Not as bad as the ones that cut your tongue when you lick them. I have to tense myself before I can bear to lick an envelope.
