You don't have to join, although I think there is a discount if you do. Little Saff and I went one morning a few weeks ago. It was ?5.


In addition to some softplay they had painting and crafty type stuff. There is also a coffee bar, which smelled delicious. Unfortunately I was so busy running around after Little Saff trying to prevent her from painting herself blue, that I didn't get to sample the coffee. They play music and I think they might have some other activities later in the day, depending on the theme of the week. It was a nautical theme with sea shanties when we went. There is also a small outdoor space in which they had a sandpit.


We only stayed about an hour b/c Little Saff (19 months) can only do short stretches of excitement before she needs some quiet time. The space probably best suits babies that aren't yet highly mobile, or otherwise slightly older toddlers and children, perhaps 2-7years. xx

The 484 goes there. You can't park right outside and will have to walk 5 mins or so. My 3 yr old daughter loves going there, to hang out, mess about, make believe, paint, jump around, build stuff and generally go with the flow- its not organised activities as such at any particular time but follows the mood of the children and parents can join in. We like the cafe too and usually have lunch there and stay a few hours.

I have enjoyed taking my daugther here - I would have loved a place like this when she was younger. It is also helpful that most of the things to do are made / created / so there are no "fights" over toys etc!


- if you buy things on amazon, and go through their website, (click on Amazon link from TDLP webpage) they earn some revenue as well


Although teh cafe is small, they do a good coffee; some nice snacks available.


(You can just turn up - they do have themed events for Christmas; Halloween and those have to be booked)

It think TDLP received special funding -- innovation in business grant or some such? I heard that their location might not be permanent. I guess if the business is successful, they would look for a better space. Maybe worth asking next time you drop by?


On Saturday mornings TDLP also has a stand at the Brockley Market (green produce, baked goods, seasonals etc in the Lewisham College carpark, intersection of Tressillian and Lewisham Way). It's ?2.50 for an art & craft session usu with story telling at the TDLP stand. Take the 484 bus from Nunhead and alight at Tressillian. It's a 3 min walk up the road. Also plenty of onsite parking.

    • What "stricter" consequences could there be for shoplifting (or any other crime) than being put into jail, do you think? Though our prisons are of course full enough already, without more people being shoehorned  into them.
    • Returning to the original question, I had my jabs at Tessa Jowell yesterday. I was early and I was  seen on time, and it was a lovely pharmacist who did them, but the admin beforehand (not by her) was a bit iffy. I was given forms to fill in but not told what to do with them afterwards, so I  presumed I had to take them into the consulting room, as the rest was supposed to be filled in by a clinician, but no! After some time had elapsed and I had found a seat (there was no information on where to sit either, so people were sitting in two separate areas, neither of which had many seats) my name was called and  the forms were taken behind the counter. Be aware if you don't have an appointment - even in the relatively short time I was there, three people turned up without appointments having been sent there by a GP (I presume) or having  previously been  asked by the pharmacy to come  back at a different time, and they were all sent away again because the pharmacy didn't have enough flu vaccine until the following day. I have no idea if this was due to a misunderstanding on the people's side, their GP's or the pharmacy's, but none of them were very happy, and one lady said she "couldn't keep coming back" 😭  At least one of them didn't seem to understand what he was being told, possibly due to a language issue. I felt quite sorry for the pharmacist, who was giving jabs all day on top of her usual workload but still managing to stay cheerful! Though she wasn't the one dealing with the unhappy people! I have a sore arm from the Covid jab (I chose to have the jabs in different arms), but no other ill effects so far, touch wood. 
    • Line speed and the strength of your Wi-Fi signal are two separate things.  The first is determined by the type of connection (fibre/copper etc) to the outside world and the second is the connection between the device (printer/TV/laptop/tablet etc) and the router. If you are connecting a device to the router using cables (as Alec1 is) then this is will give the best possible connection but isn't practical for many without a degree of upheaval and even then not all devices (tablets for example) will allow a wired connection. So you relying on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal from the router to the device and this will depend on the quality of the router, the type of Wi-Fi connection (the frequency), line of sight etc - many different things.  This is why some people opt for a "mesh" type setup which is supposed to give a solid quality of Wi-Fi signal around the house with little or no blackspots.  It's expensive though and still requires the devices that send and receive the signal (like the plug-ins you have) to be wired to the router.
    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.
