Oh what a day.


I've had a good/varied start to the year.


Our children were whisked off unexpectedly with their lovely friends for the day.


And my darling other half had to study.


So off I set & into Shoreidtch I went, and then left there pretty pronto. If I say it was like the set of Escape From New York then you'll get the picture. The arch by the station was still in the dregs of crusty-rave-mode. God knows what drugs are on the circuit at the moment, but there was a range of faces from green to grey & nobody was looking pretty.


I walked through the city & up through Clerkenwell, stopping briefly to look at the ballistics team searching a taped off area from a shooting in the early hours.


Then a quick spin on the bus to Oxford street, more people off their faces staring/talking at walls/looking skyward. A quick stomp through the back of Soho & more grey/green people looking decidedly shonky.


A very pleasant solo lunch in Won Kei in china town & a read of David Lammy's book, then up to bar Italia to see the Man city kick off. And back into China town and to see the 3.30 film showing at The Price Charles.


They must have known I was coming ( they were showing ELF with Will Ferrell )


"Er..HELLO" only the best film to watch on new-years-day-by-yourself.



Then home & into the arms of my loved ones.


( well the other half was a bit cranky but soon warmed up )


Sausage & Mash, a log fire & Adele at The Albert Hall.


I mean, what more could you ask for?


I suppose a bit of "Hot Yoga" but, y'know....we can't have everything ( & it is a bank holiday tomorrow )

    • Citizens Advice Bureau may be able to help, as they have connections with various relevant people/organisations. Your GP surgery may have access to a "social prescriber" who can similarly help.  I was referred to the  one attached to my GP surgery when I was very stressed with external issues. There used to be a community police officer in every neighbourhood, and if they still exist, I would say they should be your first port of call. I'm so sorry. It is so stressful living with nasty neighbours, although I agree finding out that other neighbours have also had issues with them at least makes you feel that it is not just you they are targeting. As regards the apparently poisoned plants and trees, if you know someone who is a member of the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society), they have access to a free advice service, who I'm sure could help pinpoint the likely cause of death. Unfortunately I didn't renew my membership this year, otherwise I would have offered to help.
    • The post office were competent for my purposes when I was presented with a similar list.  But I did suggest the OP check with the actual person who requires certification, and not me or some bloke call Ianr from the internet.
    • OP is wrapped in such hyperbole that it takes a couple of reads to extract the key point, which is exactly what you say it is. Obviously if the tickets were issued before the signs went up then they should be reversed. If OP is really concerned about it then they should also email the parking enforcement team to ask them to cancel those tickets themselves instead of waiting for the drivers to challenge them.
