One day as I cycled down the off-road route from Peckham Library to Burgess Park I heard a horse neighing. I stopped and looked, and there was a house beside it with a couple of stables with horses in them. It was one of those magically surreal moments when you feel the universe might be trying to tell you something but you're too brainwashed by modern life to understand it.

True. Have been stuck with a shabby rental-donkey for ages; I'd move to a cheaper area but they're all full of shifty-looking drug mules.

Neigh lads


There are still fix-em-uppers to get, go down to Aintree or any other steeplechase course and you can pick up a broken down nag in a shot !


6 months of lower leg remodelling and Horses Under The Hammer will come around and film you

    • Another bakery staple in days gone by - bread pudding. Place bakers(?) where Harry's is now always used to sell big chunks of this. I think Morrisons also used to sell it in a packet of 2 slices. Are bakeries now just dumping their unsold bread? I make bread pudding regularly - use reduced bread from supermarkets ( loaf cost me 22p) and last time made 3 batches one for us plus two for friends.
    • Went to thee Viet place in LL some time ago and got charged £9 for a pot of tea  Hubby paid bill and did not notice that they had overcharged. Frequently go past the old Moulin restaurant- rarely see people in it. No indication whether they are providing meals as no menu outside (unless they have pit it up in last few days) Got impression that it was a wine bar only. Love Dulwich is usually busy between 12 - 2 pm when they have their lunch time specials  not been there in evening or weekends. 
    • They're a supplement, usually made from whey, which are used after weight training. The theory is that weight training tears the muscle fibres (Feel The Burn, No Pain No Gain, etc), protein helps repair this and aid lean muscle growth. The faster you can get protein into your system, the better, so obviously liquids are absorbed faster than solids Beans, poached egg or peanut butter on toast, are pretty typical post training meals to achieve the same thing. They're much like a very thin milkshake or Slim fast, so nothing anabolic. I used them when I was training three or four times a week and the results were pretty good, if I do say so myself.   Cross-post with Ianr
