I agree with Lynne; it's great to see investment elsewhere in the Southwark library system, but Dulwich Library provides a fantastic service to the local community in a variety of ways and is a godsend to the low-waged, teenagers needing somewhere quiet to study and parents of young children in particular, and it would be great to see the necessary investment to ensure it can continue to do this effectively.

The wifi system in particular seems poorly supported. It seems to break down regularly and the external supplier that supports it seems very slow to take action - over Christmas the service was down for several weeks waiting for a new plug, which apparently was sent by post. The in-house computer system too seems poorly supported: for the last couple of months there have been problems access hotmail and downloading files, to add to the existing longer-term problem of compatibility with Word file versions etc, apparently just because the system hasn't kept up with online developments and isn't getting the necessary patches.

  I'm happy to report that some foxgloves are now looking great in my garden. The bees are loving them. Also managed to grow some corn poppies from seed. I've left some decaying logs in the corner so maybe there are some stag beetles there.

  Southwark lists parks as an ecologically important space so don't understand the point.

  We have found 3 stag beetles in the old tree stump, and single nesting bees in the grass, so we're still not mowing it. I have taken the seeds head off the dart grass and trimmed the dead bluebells and it's alright.

  Back garden mowed on Monday, some of it for the first time this year. Not a lot of interest in this grassland, but hoping for the promised rain this week as it needs it. We use no tap water in the garden apart from conditioner tap water for the pond when rainwater storage runs out, very early this year. Purple clover, buttercups, rattle and ox eye daisies looking great in the front. Seeds sown did not germinate due to lack of spring rain. The meadow will be cut by hand when flowers die back, white clover will be out shortly and cutting the rest back may encourage the purple clover to flower again. Loads of bees Fun time is when the grasshoppers appear.
