I shouted "happy new year" and "happy new year East Dulwich Forum" while at Dawsons Heights Hill,

and a few people responded to the former.


Saddest sight was me realising there was more walk to get home and not enough mulled wine in the flask to last the walk!

Bus driver not letting me back onto N68 at Camberwell Green at 3.30am to retrieve my treasured 40-year-old hand crocheted shawl which I had left upstairs and realised immediately I got off that I had left it on the bus. I explained the situation and he still refused.


Bastard.


I have the bus number etc but he refused to give me his name. Somehow doubt I'll ever get the shawl back. Not a good start to the New Year. I had a very cold walk home (6)

Glad to hear you got a response! There was a lot of singing going on as well - Auld lang Syne and so on... so it wasn't as sad as I intimated in my first post. It was a nice happy atmosphere really. Pity we don't know each other - I could have invited you in to top up your flask for your long walk home....

    • So glad to know, some places sell decent food.. not just dumped in microwave to be reheated and to be charged a premium in pricing..  
    • a (clean) nappy/pamper, it was like it had snowed in the garden.  The absorbent stuff inside spread everywhere.  Can I have my gardening gloves back please.
    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.
