I am torn between the sandpit (benefit: close enough to walk) and the one o'c club (benefit, I can be lazy as twins less prone to running off or climbing to the top of the helicopter)


Child no 1 is out for the day with his godmother. What do people any think? Who's free and what do you fancy?

Hope you all had a nice time, here's how our morning went...


9.30am I suggested to my in-laws that they take the kids to the 1 o'clock club. Yes, good idea, we'll do that. I tell them it's open at 10am. Yep, great. MIL then disappears into the bathroom, reappearing just after 10am. Makes cup of coffee. Drinks coffee, makes another cup of coffee. FIL goes upstairs to brush his teeth, reappears sometime round 10.30am. Makes cup of tea. 10 minutes spent in the back garden looking up at the sky speculating on the likelihood of rain, another 10 minutes spent unpacking their suitcase to find umbrellas/raincoats.


11am I finally shoehorned them out the door, and was asked what time they needed to be back. I said around 12/12.30ish would be when they need some lunch. Darling MIL replies with "oh, that doesn't give us much time to play in the park with the children, don't you think you are being a bit unreasonable?".


I honestly think I deserve an award for managing to bite my tongue and not launch into a full on attack!


On the plus side, they are gone now!

    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
    • Hello, I lost a babies blanket between Tessa Jowell and the Picture House on Lordship Lane 😞It is teal colour with the name Cillian embroidered on it.  If anyone sees/finds it please let me know.  Thank you!
