Just nipped out to gather a few items for a spot of lunch and the following observations were made on my journey from the Crystal Palace Road end of LL down to the roundabout and back again

Noticed seven 4 wheel buggies, one 3 wheel buggy, 4 pregnant ladies, 5 drivers on their mobiles while driving, shop signage at Somerfield being taken down, launderette next to the Magdala getting a new lick of paint.

The shopkeepers in G&B, Healthmatters and the Cheese Block were all very friendly.

Weather was mild with a hint of rain.

I don't think clarence comes round my way. Probably not posh enough for him to prance about. We're over run with cats but this was something else. I mean it really gets on my t*&s! It's almost like the owner plans it...'come on Rover, that's it, just here, bit to the left, line it up with their front path, Bingo! Fire!'

Dear Polly,

A small ciabatta from the Cheese Block, a little Serrano ham from G&B, some Beaufort Cheese from EDD and a tomato from Sainsburys! I was going to eat it in the garden but it had started raining by the time I'd assembled it all.

Not tried the G&B Scotch eggs but I noticed a nice little tartlet thing that I may try tomorrow.

I'll be dropping into the optician tomorrow, so will definitely check out the G&B scotch eggs :)

I wonder if there's such a thing as a healthy pork pie :-S

(I've been on lunchtime salads all week - trying to get the tum under control ready for the imminent Great Highland & Island Bike Ride)


Louisiana

1.35pm. Weather - warm. Down LL across NCR and up CPR.

14 - 4 wheel buggies [5 parked outside Blue Mountain]

1 - 3 wheeled buggy

4 drivers on mobile phones

The launderette now has a new windowledge and Somerfield has lost some tiles.

Anyone know what the green shop next to the Hairdressing suppliers on CPR used to be? Seem a similar vintage to the one next to the butchers

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
