Recently my 14 year old really enjoyed an afternoon at the Barbican. There were quite a lot of young people (perhaps students) hanging out in the open plan areas ground and first floor (some practicing for a play which she found very cool) and the amazing library well populated with all ages reading, studying, browsing the shelves etc.

What was the email when you received lbsmith73? More recent posts say that the 6 days are now approved.

I had a wonderful surprise today. Firstly I spotted a jay; then it flew to a nearby branch and turned out to be one of a pair and then I realised that just in front of them was a woodpecker! This was on the footpath through from the football club to the Greendale. Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to get a picture!

Do you know who should have got that email? I objected via Southwark but didn't get it. Thanks. Also, thanks for the reminder about objecting to the licence application as well. Does anyone have any suggestions as to wording?

Thank you very much, both. I didn't imagine it then. I'll ask next time I'm in Sainsbury's.

Is there a bin for recycling small electric items at the junction in Dulwich Village? I thought I saw one a while ago, but can't see it on street view. Thank you in advance.

Over the course of just over a couple of decades we have had our bikes stolen/parts taken an average of approximately once every 7 years. This is from a side yard, locked to downpipes with gold level bike or light "motorbike" chains and covered in locked tarpaulins. Not particularly valuable bikes. Also they gradually rust outside. If I had any more space inside, I would definitely buy superlight bikes and hang them on the wall inside.

We got post yesterday! Three Christmas cards which were sent second class 3 weeks ago, along with several bank statement type items. Exciting!

Often of a morning I hear a flock of starlings chattering in trees near Peckham Rye Park and there are sparrows to be heard in the various front garden hedges. I regularly see a robin and wren on the footpath through to the Greendale and in spring we get blue tits nesting (near the park).

Well, information for anyone partaking next year: 5.30-6.30 was great for littleys and slightly older alike and by about ten to seven a lot of houses had run out of sweets. Quite a few young teens who'd made a real effort with their costumes were setting out around then, however, so I hope they had some good luck. Thank you so much to all the hospitable folk around the area, who were so welcoming, generous and fun.

What time are people trick or treating today?

Thanks Tasha1 I'd missed that announcement. (Going to spend a couple of hours feeling sorry for self now before breaking the bad news to the family).

It looks like it is going to be in the park after all (not on the common). People are busy marking out the area opposite Harris boys and looking on Gala's own website this morning, it says it's in the park. Does anyone know when/how it was changed back from the common to the park?

Are the 2 hearts attached by that yarn at the top?

For a while Charter ED used the field next to it on the opposite side of the footpath. I'm glad they don't still have to, as that field seems to be the sump of the area and when regularly run around on was supremely muddy and slippery.

At least one local primary use it for their sports day. Up until the last month I've seen the groundsman there almost daily, which fits with the push not to mow during this period. Early on misty mornings you can often see foxes relaxing there.

Thanks for the info.

I know of only 1 school which offers 2 languages at yr 7, Greycoats which is classed as a 'language college'. Does anyone know of any others?

All the clubs at greycoats are free as well.

There are usually lots of dog walkers on the slope opposite Harris Boys early in the morning.

Another collection of clothes etc, for refugees in general, so not specifically Ukraine. getridofit-donate.com at St Faith?s Community Centre, SE24 9JQ every Sunday between 1:00-2:30pm by appointment.

We've cancelled our trip now. Hope everyone stays safe!

We've been upgraded to a red warning and the met office forecast says winds maximum 67mph around midday. Would you travel 6 miles south east for an optional activity? Or anywhere else for other reasons?

Bedtime by 9pm, quiet time/reading encouraged from 8.30pm. During holidays/special occasions occasionally a little later. Screen time: 45 mins games/videos, 1 hr phone, 40 mins TV. Screen for school work or reading unrestricted. No particular rules but the home is very small so we can usually see what everyone's doing.

Commiserations to you guys who live that end. We're exceedingly close to the usual location and the stomach rumbling bass through the afternoon and evening is not fun.
