Dahling Life

Ha! No Wham or prawn cocktail, but I saw they were doing oysters. My flatmate had Beef Bourguignon and mash.....OLD SCHOOL COMFORT 😊 I was just happy to keep the juice flowing and pick at charcuterie.

Welcome other cosy local recommendations for good wine & atmosphere.....

THANK YOU, not last night, I'm new-ish to the area and had previously parked my bike down the road away from me with one chain and no problems for years in North London. SE22 SE23 seems to have a bit of an epidemic going on, everyone has a story!

Good call on the CCTV, I'm sure it's a deterrent 🙏

So, week one (having moved from North London) and I head downstairs to my front garden to begin the tiresome but necessary task of unlocking all my chains from my scooter......only to find 2 pathetic pieces of cut chain strewn over the font pavement..... and no bike? 😩🛵

Welcome to the neighbourhood!

Police tell me they have more important things to do. That the bikes are used for drive-by crime and that they don't bother to pursue them. Basically it's a free-for-all on motorbikes and scooters. A risk free crime.

The following week I'm walking back from the station in broad daylight, down my street, and am stopped in my tracks by the sight of 2 men in hoodies with a cordless angle grinder going to town someone else's scooter, anchored in their own driveway.

I yelled and took a step forward, (😬 brave or stupid?) but my anger quickly turned to self preservation when they both stood up and raised the angle grinder in a gesture that needed no explanation.🤐

What the hell is going on??

Instead of 2 locks + the steering lock....... I now have 4 locks (D lock Gold Sold Secure, Chain Lock CEN5, Alarmed Disc lock, normal disk lock).......with an angle grinder that should add at least another ....5 mins to their task? 😕🙏

It's the Russians.

Yep :) ....found my flat on here!

Saw Terroirs had also opened in East Dulwich and checked it out for Beaujolais Nouveau last week, great atmosphere, good chat at the bar - will go back to eat next time. Anyone else been for lunch or dinner?
