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...

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
