cut two large holes in the floor of said sack to allow mooslet to visit old people with empty cap held out travelling hopefully the little one catches eye of grumpy old man and smiles. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah says old man feeling into his pocket for threepenny bit, can only find pound coin it is not as valuable but instructs mooslet to buy an ernie bond because you never know.

Mooslet totters back to mother moos, who quickly empties the hat into purse and sends her little asset to next grumpy sucker.

* thinks to self "I haven't been in the quiet room since last year *

* wonders how many of the "new breed" frequent the place *


.....


* cautiously opens the door behind the fireplace (they won't know about that, I'll be fine) *


* blimey! this place is different... and yet... comfortingly familiar. I can see DulwichMum!!! *

* wishes he could more than "see" her * sigh..........

* assumes the Lord reference was sardonic and not reverential *


* wonders where the "sniffy" reference came from - I like the new arrivals since my last visit *


* still, a sternly scornful woman with arms folded and a raised eyebrow is always welcome *


* goes to fix some cocktails *

* turns diplomacy switch off *


(realises that's the first time he's done that since he last spoke with quids)


still, I'm in good company now


* tell me, moos; are you as worried by the cardboard donkey as paraded by Michael as I am? Could be worse - it used to be real *

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
