The kids have gone to a friends house with their daddy, and I think I will spend the afternoon cleaning out my make-up bag. Why don't you boys do the same? It can be rather satisfying, rediscovering a lip gloss you haven't used for a while!


The au pair is engrossed in the Jeremy Kyle show. She is horrified and traumatised by it and observed, "British people love sex and have many babies with many boyfriends" - I said "only on TV sweetie, this is Dulwich".

Wow, you must be really excited now. Bumbalina said you were going together to pick up the dress before the weekend - you haven't had a sneaky look dear Mr Huguenot have you? You know it is not good luck.


What is your suit like? Who made it? What colour and style? James had a black single breasted three button suit with baby blue lining - it was really cool. He looked so handsome. I think I shall take out my wedding album. It was the most perfect day.

Hmmm, Bumbalina and her merry band of followers have been harping* on about baby blue this weekend already.


We did indeed pick up said item from Morgan Davies in Islington. It was very long. It's in the spare room. I've seen colour swatches as we've had to co-oridnate with waistcoats and cravats ;-)


However, Mockney still hasn't told me his measurements. What does he have to hide I wonder?


*all devilish intent I suspect

I'm here, not drinking or doing anything too loud as I too spadetownboy have a 10k run! I will shake my tush (sic) at the Carnival on monday at Gaz's Rockin Blues...part from that...nowt.


(Ooh I've been to the Ottery Tar Barrels, bonkers!!) Mockney we have taken on a case of a woman who got hit on the head with one of those barrells, she has permanent brain damage. Cheery)...they're all feckless people down there....


I'm going to Croyde in two weeks time. That's in north Devon. A spot of surfing.


Duwlich will be nice and quiet then, apart from the usual Clapham blow-ins.

no no the carnival up in Nottinghill. Jah, you should know that, right?..and there's no tents, just sound systems. Gaz R. Blues has his in the shape of a wartime plane that's crashed into the jungle (very Lost) they have this whole set up that's bigger than the houses themselves. They're all in costume and it's madness!!!! the band play in the holes of the crashed plain and they all swing from the trees of the jungle....I kid you not. You must go and see for yourself. they also ply the crowds with very strong Jamaican rum. For free. Bonus.


Georgia you must go to The Black Rabbit on the river at Arundel. I used to go there as a kid with the folks. Still a great country pub. Great food! Take a stroll out of the town centre and you will see signs for the Black Rabbit. Very nice place to be on a bank holiday.

Ken still does free festivals - Rise was in Burgess Park 2 years ago before heading up to Finsbury Park


But then the lineup at Clapham is pretty good (for that sort of thing) - Streets, MIA, Go Team, DJ Semtex etc

      Peckham Rye Park Attack - August 22

      Yes, still odd. Their information seems mostly to have come from the social media post referred to above. And, as you say , reported "cautiously".

      Parking in Herne Hill

      By indiepanda · Posted

      I have taken books to the Oxfam book shop in Herne Hill in the past and found they had a limit on how many bags they would accept from one person, so worth checking in advance if they have any current restrictions, don't want to lug a heavy bag out of the car and be told they won't accept. I was able to park nearby - in the side street on the other side of the road, but I do know it's luck of the draw how far down that street you have to go to get a space.

      I would phone ahead to check whether they are accepting donations. I’ve been in the shop a couple of times over the past few years and seen people turned away with book donations. There are a few parking spaces outside the row of shops there and it’s sometimes pot luck but I’ve usually parked ok. Let us know how it goes Sue.   l

      Hussein and his team have just finished painting our main reception room, kitchen and hallway throughout the house. We also threw a few extra curve balls in while we were away like painting the front door, garden walls and helping fit some new lights. Hussein is a pleasure to deal with: professional, diligent, trust worthy, flexible and a really nice bloke. This is the second time we have worked with him and will definitely do so again.
