Local charity, The Philosophy Foundation, are running weekly after school clubs on Thursdays at Forest Hill Library in the Summer Term starting Thursday 25th April based on Peter Worley's award winning book The If Odyssey.

The sessions will tell the story of The Odyssey and will draw out the philosophy that lies behind each story in Homer's epic tale to introduce children not only to the exciting fables of Odysseus, but also to that other great Ancient Greek tradition, philosophy. Join the author, Peter Worley, to explore with Odysseus the value of happiness, non-existent entities, moral dilemmas, the philosophy of prophecy, and the nature of love among many other philosophical issues. This course is aimed at young people aged between 8 and 12 years.

The course runs from April 25th until July 18th, with a break for half term on May 30th, every Thursday from 4.15pm - 5.15pm.

One ticket for all 12 sessions, ?60 in total (+ eventbrite fees).

  That was very kind of you to take the cat to the vet. Did the car not stop?

  This is a bit outside our area, but I'm posting in case .... Last night (Sat.20 Dec), around 10.30, we saw a cat hit by a car in St Norbert Road, SE4. We took him to the out of hours vet in Beckenham, where they confirmed that he had died. They will see if he is microchipped, and contact the owner if so. They were very kind. He was a lovely cat, grey and white. He must have died very quickly. So sorry to be the bearer of bad news 😞 The vet is Medivet in Beckenham, tel: 0208 650 2003.

  Watching my cats over the years with foxes, I've found that foxes have totally ignored them. One exception was when a young fox hadn't seen my cat and found himself eye to eye with my cat at a distance of 1 metre. There was a stand off but the fox blinked first and my cat chased him out of the garden. So proud of her. I believe when foxes have attacked cats, the cat has been vulnerable - old, young, ill wounded.

  It's also possible that someone is hand feeding foxes and encouraging them by this to approach others. I have heard of foxes attacking young children (if only anecdotally) but not adults. They do seem to attack cats.
