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.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
