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 )

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
