Sitting on the bus minding my own business... woman next to me, her phone starts ringing, after much frantic rummaging to find phone in rather oversized bag finally manages to retrieve the phone and takes the call... now I'm not really much of a person to listen in but... the call, to summarise was in response to a recent job interview to which the result was, to guess by the excitable bouncing up and down in the seat (her not me!), was positive! I found myself feeling rather elated for someone I didn't know!

When my cat's fur becomes 'crimped' after she comes in from the rain.


The amount of time I spent in the late 80s unsuccessfully trying to perfect that Siouxsie Sioux look with the aid of temperamental crimpers that frazzled the ends of my hair. Yet the cat manages it effortlessly.

Dragged the kilner jars out from the cupboard on the weekend and bottled up this seasons batch of sloe and damson gins. The sloe gin is rather good, but my first attempt at damson gin is truly fantastic. It smells and tastes like liqueur cherry chocolates. Mmmmm.

    • 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!
