Big thanks to the lovely Polish guy who rescued me last night while I was carrying an item of EDF-gained furniture. He parked his car and carried the item the rest of the way home for me when he found it couldn't fit in his car! (Not so far, but far enough.) I told him all about EDF, of course.


And also to Amy, who is handing over her very nice piano to me, FOC. Again via the EDF. The excitement chez Louisiana is palpable.


I don't know where I'd be without the EDF and all our local lovely people. :))



Corrected to remove the impression that this guy had carried his own car.

Hear hear louisiana: in the space of a week, the EDF yielded me some home-delivered delicious meatballs, a fixed ipod that I thought would never work again, and a delightful lunch companion. All smiley and gratis (not that I usually pay my lunch companions, you understand).


Truly the forum cup, it runneth over.

RosieH, I believe what we are receiving is - technical term - 'care in the community' :)


SeanM, eater81 is an angry bot. *Most* of ED is about the nice stuff. Unfortunately, peeps tend to remember the nasty stuff and forget the nice stuff. Psychology, innit?

There is quite a bit of local strangeness too though, to be fair.


Twice I have been queueing in William Rose, to find someone has queued up to purchase just one "piece of bacon" and for clarity, I am talking a rasher of bacon here. What is going on?


Only in Dulwich...

Smiths? Sounds interesting. If you no longer require it, I might be up for that.


I've just got some simple stuff out of the library for now to test the depth of rust.


On the knees up front, I shall have to hone the skillz beforehand, which may take a little time... unless someone else is a skilled ivory tinkler.

Looking forward to the I can haz skillz.


Will see if I can dig it out.

Maybe he was Jewish ...


Actually, under Talmudic Law (see: The Mishnah by Pinhas Kehati, page 31), there is a limit beyond which an exception is recognised in respect of certain prohibited foods: it is usually an amount 'less than the bulk of an olive'.


I'm not sure whether that ruling applies in this case, though.


I've seen lots of people buy a single tomato, onion or piece of fruit. If that's all one needs, why buy more?


Perhaps the guy is on a strict one-rasher-a-day diet?

    • Greg came out at last minute notice to address a leak at the flat. He stayed for 90 mins to try and fix it but turned out it was a communal pipe. He was quick to write a report so we could get Southwark onto it. Great plumber, would recommend highly. 
    • My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks  
    • When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
