A favourite cereal cant always be considered for your breakfast meals,

its what is found when the open door of your cupboard reveals.

The Shreaddies were nice last time I ate them, but put them away,

that is a few weeks ago now, and they have started to decay.

The same thing happened to the remains of my Coa? Coa Pops,

I going to rename them, now they look like soggy flops.

The Sugar Puffs used to sound when shaken made a racket,

now they are just stuck all together inside of the packet.

I thought that cooking the porridge you cant go wrong,

but as they are a couple of years old they do make a pong.

There is still some Wheatabix there are as old as religion,

put them out on the window cill to be eaten by the pigeon.

I think I will have to settle for a slice of bread and dripping,

or boil an egg, or some toasted soldiers to use for dipping.

I cant stock up the cupboard again yet, my pensions is all spent,

most of it went on the necessities like Gas Electric and Rent.

Oh and don't forget the cost of tins food for my pet cat,

she really appreciates it, she?s left me a present on the mat.

    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
