I have frequent visits from an all black cat, who seems very familiar with my flat (I moved to Oakhurst Grove a month ago). She (I think it's a she anyway) has been spending more and more time sleeping in my garden and roams in and out of the flat if I have the door open. She is very friendly and playful, and her visits are most welcome. I'm just concerned that someone might be missing her, or that she might not be getting fed properly if she is genuinely lost. So please get in touch if your cat is spending a lot of time away from home! The previous tenants had a cat, which I am told had many friends in the neighbourhood, so it may just be that she is used to holidaying at mine!


I think I can feel a chip, so if she continues to stick around today I will try to borrow a carry case and take her to the vet tomorrow to get it read.

If this is a long haired black cat who is very vocal, then perhaps I am also feeding her/him. S/he appears regularly most mornings and continues to wail until fed (2 packets of soft, wet food only), after which s/he makes a swift exit. I live in The Gardens and have been feeding this animal for quite some time. My impression is that s/he does have an owner who seems to groom the cat extensively. As the animal seems quite happy to disappear after being fed and just lurks in the garden occasionally, I have just assumed that I am pandering to a "Six Dinner Sid".

    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors. 
    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
