Are you popping down there Ladygooner to clean up then ?

Mmm ,dairy seems more likely to me so I think you're memory is probably fine . See what you mean about "deco" tiles . http://www.bluetitlondon.com/

ed history ,thanks for that .I was sure it must be . it has to have been covered up surely to have survived . And ,sorry to bore on ....but do you know what kind of shop it would have been originally ? A butchers ?

I did ask them .They were very friendly .But they didn't know . :)

Do you think the interior is orginal John K ? If you've seen it of course .

Ah ha ... :) . And the thumbs up one ? Ta .

Have a look ,the interior looks original , wall tiles ,tiles floor ,mirrors .But I could be wrong . If I'm not ,I can only think that a lot of it must have been paneled over . It's a hairdressers called Blue Tit . No idea what it's like but they have a gorgeous range of natural hair products and the male hairdresser had beautiful hair ! Honestly worth checking it out for the interior .

I wasn't being sarcy ...just acknowledging that I nearly always agree with your posts -). By the way ..how do you format the post to add the emoticon ? ( not that I still have too much time on my hands ! )

oooh raasaygirl ,I think you've got it !

Could you have one plant growing up through another ? So that although it looks like that clump of leaves you've posted belong to the same plant as the flower ,it doesn't really ?

You're right Sue .( goes without saying -) ) . Though sometimes they're cut in half ,horizontally ,so just the bottom part of window is obscured .

These are what I'd have if I could afford them ,the type referred to by red devil . Dont the plantation shutters block the light ?

Looks like the Fox on The Hill is a Weatherspoons ,and doing Christmas Day Lunch . As is The Capitol in Forest Hill .....huge place ,Art Deco ex cinema . I really like it . If they can't do 25 nowhere can . http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/christmas/the-capitol-forest-hill

Paracetamol is good and you can take in between doses of ibruprofen . Don't only take pain killers when you can't bear it any longer ,take them regularly . If it's really bad and stopping you sleeping ,phone your GP for and discuss stronger pain killers . And take prunes with them if something stronger prescribed as so many are very constipating . Edit - gosh I sound bossy and a right know it all .Sorry ,but it's horrid to be in pain and so many of us soldier on when sometimes I think it could be fairly easily better controlled . wishing you pain free soon .

I went once to Fox on the Hill ,Denmark Hill and enjoyed the Xmas dinner there . It was the first time they'd done it though and not sure if they are still doing it ? Last year went to Alleyns Head and wouldn't repeat .Pricey for what was eventually delivered . Terribly crowded ,long ,long wait for table ,service clearly overstretched . It seemed that the main aim of management had been to cram as many people in as humanly possible .

There is some meter parking in the area - Old Gloucester St and I think also in Boswell St . They are both one way and require careful access . You can turn into Old Goucester St from Theobalds Rd A401 . I'm afraid it's a bit of a nightmare up there .Sorry ,probably the last thing you need if you're visiting the hospital .

Helpful posts here ,especially firstmate and Miacis . Can see sense of stand like a tree . Interesting .

Thanks all !

I'm sure this is expained somewhere but I've so far be unable to find where . Could someone point me in right direction or provide an idiots guide ?

Sue ,yes this is the shared bit .If you look closely you'll see a faint difference in shade and colour . This bit is a contraflow for cyclists and road not wide enough to use in both directions . I always thought it was a mad idea and that the glossy "consultation" was an expensive sham . As a cyclist I really wouldn't use that route it's not worth the hassle . Hope your partner is ok and sorry cyclist didn't stop .

Thanks Help-Ma-Boab . Sue - have you checked them out ? they look like a headband ..

Help -Ma-Boab loving look of those sleep phones ,but I recently got landed with an unexpected ?15 import/customs/something tax ( ?10 of which admin) when purchasing from an American site . Were yours ordered from abroad ,were there any such extra taxes ?

kidkruger loving the doorstep idea !

No not just you ,lots of properties affected in Barry Rd . Power only just back on . Must have been a big problem to be out from midnight to 2pm . Big thank you to the engineers . Hope their pay reflected call out ,working at night ,plus in pouring rain . Bet it didn't .

Foxhelp and Mens I think you make good points . I think growing up as mixed race is a complex process wherever you are . The parents ( as any parent ) need to feel happy with their environs and support network . Perhaps that's a key point - that the parent should be as happy and secure as any parent can be then there's a better chance of their child/ren dealing with whatever life throws at them . So maybe try less to predict where best to bring up a child and concentrate on factors that will support you as a parent ?At least that's more of a known unknown .
