I'm in need of a pick me up. A new class or experience or challenge, feeling in a rut.


Probably because I'm stuck with a foul cold right now and sorry for myself (I realise this is completely unreasonable)


What's your weekly pick me up moment? What hobby do you really look forward to, I'm open to most things!

I've just organised the office Summer Step Challenge - so now I'll be organising walks and motivating people, which I'll enjoy.


There is an organised one for Diabetes UK which started today and you could join if you fancy it?

?When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.?


― Arthur Conan Doyle


Lots of segregated cycling routes these days...

Who said anything about watching, there's a wild card going now that Muzza has dropped out...new balls siousxiesue!

Sign up for an acting class at City Lit. It's the best therapy there is (not suggesting you need therapy, but you know what I mean).


Join borrowmydoggy.com and find a cute fluffster to take for an occasional walk or snuggle up with on the sofa.


Try a new hair colour? (I just did and it definitely changed my perspective.)


Find someone to play tennis with in the park or try a boxing class (hitting something is a great way of unblocking things if you're feeling stuck).


Failing that, Magnums are ?2 for 3 at Sainsbury's.

I started doing Ceroc (dance) 18 months ago, it's great fun. There isn't a class in the Dulwich area but there are lots of classes all over town - nearest to here is probably Greenwich on Tuesday nights but my favourite is Pimlico on a Monday or Westminster on Wednesday.


You can find detais of all classes on https://www.ceroc.com/ and if you want to get an idea of what it's like then you can watch this short video:

The teacher in this runs the Pimlico and Westminster classes although this was shot at a different venue.


Once you've got a bit of experience under your belt there are plenty of social events, not just afternoon and evening dances but weekends away too. I can go having had a bad day at work and leave in a buoyant mood, it's a great stress reliever.

Photography! There's some nice short courses at the wonderful Mary Ward Centre and I can also highly recommend the Photoshop class run by Mark at the Idea Store in Limehouse, that centre is rumoured to be closing, sadly.


Cycling is my new thing I'll be starting again thanks to flocker spotter, so I may do some writing based on that too.

    • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Support from No-Files – A Truly Exceptional Experience I want to extend a huge thank you to Tony at No-Files Estate Agents for his incredible help and unwavering support over the past 10 months. My flat sale was far from straightforward, and I truly don’t think I’d be in my new home today without him. The process was made extremely difficult by solicitors who were unprofessional, unresponsive, and at times, outright rude. They refused to communicate with each other, which caused significant delays and confusion throughout the chain. Tony became the key point of contact between four people in the chain and the other estate agent, constantly stepping in to manage communication and keep things moving. The situation became so complex that all parties were forced to exchange and complete on the same day. Despite all three buyers and sellers having removal vans booked and packed, one solicitor refused to answer calls and only sent a single email at 3:55pm making it impossible for anyone to move that day. This caused unnecessary stress and cost for everyone involved and we all live for weeks with a flat with all my items packed away. To make matters worse, my mortgage offer—along with the offers for others in the chain—was expiring. Solicitors offered no guidance and simply suggested reapplying, with no clear timeline or confidence in the process. Throughout it all, Tony remained calm, communicative, and supportive. He was the only person I could rely on to explain what was happening, keep everyone in the loop, and offer reassurance during moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. His professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. I am so grateful I chose No-Files. Although I’m sad to have moved out of the area and may not be able to use them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them. If you're looking for an estate agent who is professional, honest, transparent, and truly goes above and beyond—No-Files and Tony are exactly who you need. Thank you again, Tony — I truly couldn’t have done this without you! May 2025  Andrea
