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 )

    • In my experience there is no fool proof solution to this with any company. Delivery drivers are people and people will make mistakes, cut corners, mis-understand instructions or simply not read them.  I've left instructions for parcels with just about every single company out there and at some point they've all screwed up.  I think the security camera is the best deterrent for thieves. In this case, my ring door bell spooked them off. I've just installed warning signs at my safe space to make it even clearer that they're being recorded. In the case that mistakes do still happen by the couriers, at least I know about it on the camera and can try to alert a neighbour if I'm not home.  Its sad that we have to turn our homes into fort knox with cameras but that's the world we live in. 
    • Ultimately unacceptable behaviour at many schools of all types was exposed by Everyone Invited, not just at Dulwich College. 
    • Come now, you have seen the constant threads concerning poor post and deliveries since the Dulwich office closed and merged with Peckham  Surly that alone tells you how it would compare to now as the whole system was way more efficient.  But despite the complaints and warnings here we are!!
    • Surely that would just make the system even more complicated?
