Positive news

Birthday treat- make Dream Topping with half milk half Bailey's

[PeckhamRose]

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!

[BoxingRabbit Theatre]

Boxing Rabbit Theatre is a very positive Peckham based happening working with actors and young people, based at the Bussey building, doing our first performance in August.

We are looking for all sorts of support including a designer/ printer to help us with marketing and publicity material so anyone looking to make a positive contribution to our local community please read my earlier post or PM us for more information!

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!

Had a nice quiet journey to work in the sunshine without school traffic.

[Salsaboy]

Had a lie in today till 9.00. Fantastic.

[ibilly99]

Sly and Reggie provide ad-hoc al fresco entertainment on an occasional basis.

[treehugger]

Ilike this thread - making me happy just reading it. Thanks everyone.

[ibilly99]

I've lived here 25 years and have never been burgled or mugged.

[tallulah71]

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..?

[ibilly99]

The best barber I've ever visited is Genny at GK Barber's on Melbourne Grove - West End Quality at East End prices - can't recommend her highly enough.

[djsenior]

Myself, my lovely wife and our 5 year old just got back from The Gambia, nits positively great to be back in ED. Hi everyone, keep up the positive stories, they're good fun and uplifting for all..

Still breathing - not dead.

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.

Ms B.

HUGE RESPECT ( you do know you can indulge on Sundays in Lent...)

[Guest]

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...
