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...

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.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
