A colleague of mine came in to work yesterday with her lovely new baby girl, and she handed me the Pregnancy Book that she'd been issued when pregnant, saying "there is a bloke in there who looks just like you".


I looked, and sure enough, there is me and Mrs Keef.


When we were in hospital (having gone in for induction), waiting for something to happen on a Monday morning, the ward manager came and asked if we'd pose for some photos, in exchange for some Sainsbury's vouchers. We said yes, as it was something to do.


Now I wish I'd had more than an hours sleep, combed my hair, and worn something other than my "to the pub" t-shirt!!!


Still, it paid for the shopping that week.


EDITED: Because the N key on my laptop seems to be sticking.

Nice one Keef - hope you got a few copies of it, hand it out to your mum and the in-laws, like. We got the nod once to say that there was a picture of our first born in the Horniman "What's On Guide". we dashed to get a copy, flicked through and were soon staring at a darling picture of a cute little cherub illustrating the Storytelling sessions. Alas, the blue eyed, tousle-haired blond boy in centre stage was not ours - but if you carefully searched up in the top left was a brown blur. That was him.

    • Gosh, that all sounds so familiar!  Southwark are constantly holding up their Outdoor Events Policy as proof of process, but then constantly allow exceptions when things aren't quite done correctly. Point in case, Gala's licence application - extract from the Consultation Findings Report - "The GALA team formally submitted their application to hold GALA 2025 to the council on the 7 October 2024. It is usually a requirement that applications for larger scale events are submitted with a minimum of 9 months to process them, but discretion can be applied if there are mitigating circumstances. 8.4 of the Outdoor Events Policy clarifies that processing applications received outside the stated lead-in times is at the Council's discretion. In this case: • The council were aware that Assembled Gala were preparing an application for the event to take place in 2025 in advance of their submission date, with operational discussions already taking place • GALA festival has been taking place in Peckham Rye Park since 2018 – less time is needed regarding event planning than if it were a new event • The GALA team already have a Premises Licence in place for this event (this is a pre- requisite for the Event Licence to be issued), so no time needed to be factored in for a premises licence application and decision-making process" So despite the fact that there would need to be major planning decisions due to the change of site access, they didn't think Gala needed to adhere to the same rules as everyone else? Makes me wonder what other rules they are exempted from... On a similar note, has anyone received a Resident Communication letter, containing the contact details for issues? We haven't, and we live directly opposite the site on Colyton Rd. They were supposedly distributed on 29/4...
