Just reached my front door to be welcomed by a bucketload - of what look to be, smell like, and taste like - home grown strawberries. No note.


I have no idea who they are from. I only hope they were intended for me as I have already scoffed nearly one-third of them and, if they were: thank you.


Isn't life good!?

How lovely, Laddy Muck - like a gift from the universe.


My own version of that is that I was feeling a bit unloved this morning and met not one but two very affectionate dogs, who both made me feel much happier.

@ Ms B:

Awwww...well done to those doggies.


@ Mr. Medic:

Ahem...what can I say, other than they are utterly delicious. Still warm from the sunshine...sublime.


Funnily enough this isn't the first time someone has left goodies in a bucket outside my front door with no note. The last time this happened someone deposited a toad. Cute little thing it was. Cheered me up no end. I didn't eat it though, it looked so frightened.

Yes a toad ruffers. I found out - some months later - that it had been found crossing the Walworth Road (of all places), so the person concerned decided to bring it to me (as I have a pond). He's still around too! (The toad, that is).

It's not your ears I am worried about. But it is an anagram of "ears", though. ::o

Laddy Muck I have a question for you: do you know anyone who hates you enough to want to poison you? If so, we all have enemies, might I suggest that next time someone deposits something on your door, you treat it with caution.


Unless it's a puppy of course!

      Latest One Dulwich update

      Because the council responsible for it is far-left....   And you haven't answered whether it is worth diverting emergency vehicles because a few cars drive through the LTN and why some lobby groups have been so desperate to close it to emergency vehicles.    Emergency services hate non-permeable junctions as they lengthen response times....f you remember it's why the council had to redesign the DV junction because emergency services kept telling them they needed to be able to drive through it...but the council resisted and resisted until they finally relented because the emergency services said their LTN had increased response times....sorry if the truth gets in the way of a good story but those are facts. The council was putting lives at risk because they refused to open the junction to emergency services. Why? What could have been the motivation for that? So, in fact, it was the emergency services who forced the council (kicking and screaming) to remove the permanent barriers and allow emergency services access. So the council finally opened the junction to emergency services and is now coming back to re-close part of the junction.  Why?  Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway.   In time, I am sure the truth will come to light and those rewponsbile will be held accountable but you have to admit there is something very unusual going on with that junction - its the very definition of a (very expensive) white elephant.
