Lovely social enterprise lending useful household items affordably

Hi everyone, in case it?s useful for you, wanted to let you know about a new service in South London called Library of Things where you can borrow useful household items that you don't need to use often, for a few pounds per day.


You can reserve items online and choose the home delivery and collection service 3 days a week in East Dulwich. So you borrow the items you need and then come back to collect it fro the house, ready to send onto another neighbour to use after you.


You can borrow items from a few pounds per day - they've got everything like:


- Cleaning things, carpet cleaners, pressure washers, steam cleaners etc

- DIY tools, like drills

- Cooking equipment - waffle makers, pasta makers

- Entertainment stuff - a projector, speakers, gazebo (even a ukulele!)

- Gardening tools - hedge trimmer, strimmer


The whole idea is that you can access the things you need more affordably and by sharing items you don't use often in your house with neighbours, we can cut down on the amount of waste we throwaway that ends up in landfill.


Heres the website where you can reserve things online: https://www.libraryofthings.co.uk

    • Some foxes are very tame. The foxes that live near the electricity sub-station thing on the corner of Calton and Woodwarde will happily walk up to you/passed you. They are some of the best looking foxes around so clearly being well-fed - glorious coats and bushy tails but interested in humans and keen to engage/be fed rather than being scared.
    • Let’s not all get scared of the foxes now. Most likely explanation is protecting its den or association with food. We have foxes, and cats and they are no bother to each other. The fox will leave when the cats are out.   
    • I remember seeing something a few years ago on TV about a fox that was actually biting through people's shopping / takeaway food bags.  It was situated in an alleyway.  Not in London.  Very interesting in how the  urban foxes brain development has  been affected by their surroundings.   Not an exact quote from Darwin.  It's the adaptable that survive / not the strongest or the most intelligent.   I would be worried if a fox came close me.   Because they might be after my fur babies and they carry a lot of nasties.   Although they look beautiful from a distance or on a 🎄 card.  
    • Driving down Lordship lane around 2.45pm today saw a v sick looking fox walking in and out of the crowd.
