NOTE 2. The rides here are for next week, Nov 9th. There is still plenty space on the already posted rides for this week (Nov 2nd). London Bridge to Parliament Hill.  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/parliament-hill-ride-from-london-bridge-tickets-1060924627119 >  and Six Bridges Ride from Canada Water.  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/six-london-bridges-cycle-ride-tickets-1060896182039 >
 
On the 9th Nov we have 2 rides, Eva leading a new ride with a Libraries theme with early 9.30 start and Bruce with a another new ride to Charlton House, usual 10am start.
 
Charlton House is one of the finest surviving Jacobean manor houses in England. With free entry you can explore the Jacobean rooms. and the walled gardens and get refreshments in Frillys Tea Room. 
Start from Canada Water at 10am on a 12-mile route hoping to finish in 3 hours. It will also be possible to join the ride at Cutty Sark (be there at 10.20). Outward leg Cycleway 4 to Greenwich, then past Cutty Sark and into Greenwich Park. Up the hill, exit to Vanbrugh Park, through Blackheath Standard and more road to Charlton House. Break there to look at the house and/or get a coffee. Return through Charlton Park, past Charlton Lido and on to Sun in the Sands underpass. At Blackheath use paths and quiet roads to the top of Blackheath Hill and make a small diversion to The Point viewpoint. From there drop down to Cycleway 10 at Halfpenny Bridge then continue on C10 to just before the Millwall Ground. Take path to Oldfield Grove then across to Greenland Dock and back to Canada Water. 
Eva will lead a ride to a select group of London's libraries, from the more off-piste choices such as the Marx Memorial Library and the Library of Freemasonry to the magnificent British Library. It's a fairly flat ride of ca 18km, starting at the Needle at London Bridge with the earlier starting time of 9.30 am. Including a coffee break we expect to be back by 12.30 pm.

Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  Same for “adults at risk”. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe. If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. This ride is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
