Happily working at home. Cat asleep nearby, washing machine finishing, bread machine coming up to full smell factor ten with granary loaf, and Planet Rock blaring out from the DAB Radio. Will later do my end of year accounts, and still smiling even though it's been a crap year. Will later go out for a walk around the front garden (Peckham Rye Park, to you), and post my work to el Bosso up north. That's my Monday. Still happy! That's my positive news for today. I'm still Happy!

It's a positive sort of day today, I love London at this time of year. First day of school holidays and we've spent a lovely morning pottering around Peckham Rye Park, with kids spending an hour making friends and playing games around the big tree in the centre of the common. Home for lunch in the garden, and back to the park again later. Best thing is it hasn't cost us a penny.

Didn't realise we were all here solely for your entertainment. I'm not posting anything positive until you do.

Spoke to my very good friend Elains Tappin, whose husband is being held in a US prison having been extradited. He is doing well and has now been allowed books to read. He's met a similar aged (65 yr old) man who plays chess with him and they are able to walk around the parade ground for up to 3 hours a day. Still no sign of a trial date as the US government want him to plea bargain but the fact that he is coping is my very good news!

I've lived here.....a lot of years. Never been burgled, mugged, flashed at or pissed off by buggies. Stuff I'd rather didn't happen has happened, but this is a goooood thread.....peace. And P.S I think Sly and Reggie are, in the grand scheme of things, nothing to moan about!


Where's djsenior gone..?

So far this week I have


- appeared in my first ever play in a proper theatre (about as far off-WE as you can go without hitting amdram, but still)

- learned from a policeman that you can not only cycle through the pedestrianised area outside Herne Hill station but through any toucan crossing, like the one between the station and Brockwell Park (didn't know they had a name)

- enjoyed a delicious lunch of scrambled egg and smoked salmon on rye bread, using the s. salmon I bought when it was on special offer, chucked in the freezer and forgot about.


And only four days to go to the end of Lent when I can have chocolate, cake, biscuits and sweets again.

No cheating! That said, I did have a small blip on my birthday when friends produced a cake and it would have been ungracious to refuse. And under 'Ms B rules' the definition of bread has been expanded to include scones and croissants, though I did draw the line when someone tried to persuade me that shortbread counted as bread...

      Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.

      Regarding Gala fees: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/280615/GALA-2024-and-one-stage-shows-stakeholder-consultation-findings-report.pdf‘ ‘’The decision to host large/major-scale commercial (ticketed) events in Southwark was taken in 2017, deemed necessary in order to raise enough revenue to offset the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of 50+ outdoor community events per year, and in order to continue to fund a range of high quality, free events across Southwark through the Cultural Celebrations Fund grants programme.’’
