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...

      Majority of reported hate crime is based on ethnicity, brown, black and mixed heritage. Religious hate crime is lower and most affects Muslims, Jews to a slightly lowers number and a small percentage of Hindus and Sikhs.   Real or perceived atrocities committed by Muslim extremists and the state of Israel will influence numbers  Anyone who has been to a protest against the war in Gaza will see mainly peaceful and good natured crowds including Jews against war. @CPR Dave stop making a fool of yourself.

      How does your mind work? This is a thread about a bakery that may be opening. Your grasp of history is extremely weak. Mosley’s fascists were opposed and defeated all over the east end, not with petitions either. The principal leadership in driving them back came from the Communist Party but it was a united, cross community movement. The Daily Mail provided constant support for the British Union of Fascists and, along with sections of the Conservative Party, echoed their racist rhetoric. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. Excuse my French. To characterise pro-Palestinian demonstrations attended by thousands of Jews among the hundreds of thousands of people from across British society as “protesting Jews’ rights to exist” or comparing them to Mosley’s blackshirts is frankly sickening. You should be utterly embarrassed and ashamed of yourself.

      I really hope so too, but they aren't going to get much passing trade, and parking round there isn't easy. Fingers crossed.

      Leaves on East Dulwich streets

      By Sue · Posted

      What's your answer, then? Should the council raise council tax to employ double or treble or more the number of workers to spend all their time clearing leaves from every street every day? Leaves have been cleared from my street several times since leaf fall began, including as I say very recently. It's impossible to keep every street permanently clear, and the situation is made worse by heavy rain. My partner broke his ankle in several places a year or so back when he slipped on wet leaves. He didn't blame the council.
