Hi IlonaM, yes I would agree with that, although it has felt particularyly hostile the last 6-7 years. The reports of people losing their jobs and being denied healthcare treatment is heartbreaking. Let?s hope this is resolved soon.

Did she - must be true then.

Amber Rudd?s assertion that records were destroyed as ?data protection? isn?t actually true. Windrush manifests with the same sort of personal data are legally viewable, through searches on line as proven by a very well respected art historian. The data was destroyed on Theresa May?s watch I believe, probably to save money rather than anything else - but does show how much they don?t care about certain sectors of our community. I can?t believe people support and vote for these awful people.

We are using Milk&more too. The organic milk is yummy and it is great to recycle the bottles. We are also trying to cut down on plastic. M&S seem to wrap everything in plastic and Sainsbury?s could also do better. I would be interested in any outlet for buying dried pulses, nuts etc without packaging.

Yellow butterfly in Dulwich Park on Thursday. Brimstone? It was the sunny, warm day this week. Was it a Brimstone or something else (it was medium/large but too far away to see any markings - but very yellow 🙂).

And East Dulwich Grove

Actually ours will be on the market soon - so just buy ours - 2 beds, and a really lovely cellar 😂

16k to tank with sump pump drainage for a 20sq metre. Up to 70 - 100k to dig down if reduced height and all the legal fees for change of use, party walls, decorating, fixtures/fittings. Be warned - most outfits are cowboys using very cheap labour. We went for the 18k tanking, with huge sump pump, backup battery, drainage, electrics and professional plastering, through a highly reputable company, keeping the limited height 5.5 ft high, as will be just for storage. But, although looking good now, mainly due to our DIY efforts after the cowboys had finished, the whole process was awful. Dust, dirt, took 5 more days than quoted 5 days quoted, mainly because they turned up late, had a 2 hour lunch break and left early, resulting in a 4 hour working day, they threw all their left over paint and rubbish in one of our built-in cupboards in the cellar- and that was with one of us on site to try and site-manage. The sub-contracted electrician was the only highlight, he even re-wired some faults from a previous cowboy for free. My advice is closely manage, write in the contract that they have to take a fixed amount of money off the final cost for every day over - and check around before paying a penny over the deposit. We have had to do all the painting, skirting, flooring - so add about just below 1k to make it a room. It is looking good now, so do it - but be prepared to turn to a lot of gin to get you through the mayhem.

That?s a shame

Living with a musician, I spend a lot of time listening to music both live and recorded. Music in pubs is often played through terrible sound systems and turned up so loud it becomes distorted. The music choice is often some cheap mix as well. Personally I prefer a pub with no music so I can chat to my friends, but if there is music, if it starts to annoy me (too loud, awful distortion), then I'll ask them to turn it down, if they don't then I will go drink/eat somewhere else.

I miss it too...

Maybe we can send The Village emergency supplies from The East?

If you are a health professional and can administer basic life support for someone having a coronary event or possible TIA you are the first responder if asked to help. One of the GPs or practice nurses should have responded as they should all be up to date with BLS skills as per NHS statutory training. There isn't anything else to say on the matter.

trying to get to King's A&E, saw the police cordon and thought they might help??

I miss Seacow....

Me too Tractorlad 😆

Plant it in your garden if possible. Mine is 25 years old now and in a very dry spot...

Riverford organic veg box. The carrots are also tasty.

Actually greenfinches..not sure.. Also if your niger seed is old, discard it as dry seeds won't attract birds.

And/or greenfinches

Siskin, redpoll? But you would be very lucky to get those. Goldfinches are usually in groups - maybe your one finch is keeping his discovery to himself!

For lots of goldfinches put up a niger seed feeder and they will find it, I'm always amazed how quickly they appear when it goes up every Winter. My favourites in the garden have to be coal tits though. Occasional visitors unfortunately. Parakeets and squirrels quarrelling over the sunflower seeds always amuses :)

I am Dave.....

I'm a bit cross they killed him...Bastards!
