I think so. But that's no reason to be suspicious of her motives. It's not as if people can't see the error of previous ways and change direction in response to circumstance, justified criticism, conscience, deity or parents. Just look at Jeffrey Archer, Peter Mandelson or David Icke, all of whom have profitably recovered from earlier misunderstandings and are now back in their rightful positions as leaders of the free world, albeit modestly from behind the scenes.


There comes a time in every person's life when the realisation dawns that the romantic novel is indeed a work of fiction, that the glittering galaxy of future possibilities has imperceptibly coalesced into the jittery blur of an evening star and that the cheerful balloon of hope has gradually turned from a beribboned beacon of optimism into a limp and flaccid memory of what might have been. And that's the time that we choose to dress in beige and learn to love a cat.


It is good to see that Woodrot is taking something of a stand. Although tertiary education is little more than a futile kick against the dictates of fortune, especially for mature students who, if we're honest, have little chance in the internship market, what with the lack of working-age uncles and the fragrant attributes of their juvenile competitors, it is something to do, and that's of considerable value to the purposeless. But, ultimately, it will only stave off the inevitable for a short while, and as one enters one's jam-making years and start to takes an autumnal interest in watercolours, you need all the support you can get from friends or, in this case, randomly anonymous strangers who might, at least, pretend to take an interest.


So yes, I have no reason to believe this isn't a reformed Woodrot and deserving of, if not exactly sympathy, at least indulgence. It's not as if we've anything better to do.

    • I hear that Landells Road has had a spate of parcels being taken,
    • In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him
    • Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).
    • Aria came round a couple of weeks ago to take a look at a radiator that wasn't working properly. He did a fabulous job, and was very generous with his time and his expertise. We will absolutely look to him again for any plumbing needs.
