I had the Pfizer vaccine last night, slightly tender at injection site but no otherwise fine.

https://www.southwark.gov.uk/street-care/gritting "Salt bins are provided across the borough, particularly in areas difficult to access in icy conditions, allowing residents and passing motorists to treat the carriageway and footway within the area."

Yes, your street would be useful. Also there is a Lost and Found section of the forum so you may wish to post there as well.

Ah I feel for you Foxy! I do enjoy it, though sometimes my bread is a failure and I don't understand why. I only started during lockdown so apparently still have years to go before I am an expert. I know you prefer in person shopping, but I asked for a banneton for Christmas (didn't get one), and pointed my family to these 2 sites that are selling them (and aren't Amazon), both have oval and round baskets of various sizes: Shipton Mill: https://www.shipton-mill.com/flour-direct-shop/books-etc/baking-equipment Nisbets: https://www.nisbets.co.uk/kitchenware-and-knives/pastry-and-baking-supplies/bread-proving-baskets/_/a33-3 I've just been using a bowl with a clean tea towel thus far, but would like a basket. Guess I'll have to buy my own...

Some people like the taste of meat but don't want the cruelty associated with killing animals. Some people like to eat food that's like what they were familiar with before they went vegetarian/vegan. Some people want to eat less meat. There's nothing about the word sausage or burger than indicates that it's come from an animal. It's basically a shape indicator. Using words that people are familiar with gives them an idea of what it's like. Nobody is going to something called a veggie or vegan burger and be confused that it's not beef/chicken/whatever. There are lots of vegetarians/vegans who don't eat these products. These products don't make up a large proportion of most vegetarians/vegans diets. In fact, a lot of these products are bought by people who are trying to reduce the amount of meat they are eating, or just fancy trying something different. It's about choice, making things easy etc. Why should it bother you? So many articles, you can see it's a very common question. These are just a few of the first that came up on google: https://plantbasednews.org/opinion/vegans-hypocrites-realistic-fake-meat/ https://www.livekindly.co/what-point-vegan-fake-meat/ https://chooseveg.com/blog/why-do-vegans-eat-fake-meat/ https://www.her.ie/food/meat-substitutes-501566 \https://www.glueandglitter.com/why-do-vegans-eat-fake-meat/

Same here on Ryedale :-(

Large letter sent first class from Hastings on 2 Jan just arrived today.

The Fox Project have local volunteers, so definitely worth contacting if you see her regularly. You will need to be able to tell them usually where/what time of day you see her so that they can catch her.

Sue, you could try approaching it and see if it flies away? If you can catch it, then it's not well. :-) I've taken a poorly pigeon to the Neighbourhood Vet before, they have a connection with a wildlife rescue. If you can get it into a box, you could take it there? or ring them for advice?

I wonder if you posted a reply to this message /forum/read.php?12,7287 whether that would bring the admin's attention to it? I see that there is a post in the About this forum section from someone who is an existing advertising also having trouble, so perhaps the admins are away or something?

Our post office (Forest Hill Road) has a parcel drop area. Could you not drop it on the main one on Lordship Lane? If you've put postage on it already, you should be able to skip the queue and go in to drop it off.

Mimi's Rodent rescue in Stratford has mice looking for a new home: https://www.facebook.com/MimisRodentRescue/

Yes, this happened to me - with the number plate the police and/or insurance can find them. We had all our damage fixed paid for by them.

Emmaus in West Norwood might be able to as well? https://emmaus.org.uk/lambeth/donate-goods/book-a-collection/

I don't know if you are on Facebook, but someone has started a group for local makers to share their work with the local community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/225697658207965/ Not strictly East Dulwich, it's called "Supporting Creative Makers In SE London Online Craft Fair" https://www.facebook.com/groups/225697658207965/ (I'm not a seller, I've just joined it to support local makers)

Have sent you a DM JJ2012

Agree. I went there for blood tests and it was very quiet. Loads of space, all the Covid-prevention practices in place. Felt very safe.

Which magazine tested commercially available reusable masks, they've made the article available to everyone, not just subscribers https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/face-masks/article/best-reusable-face-masks-awLeA3A6XoZD/

They have posted a few things to their Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/pearspring_shop/

I have had my sharps bin collected during covid through the council. As far as I know, that is the only option. The Southwark website says that they will collect if it is "needed urgently". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/general-household-waste/clinical-and-healthcare-waste You will need your GP to fill out the form on this page and you should then be able to get them collected: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/general-household-waste/clinical-and-healthcare-waste?chapter=2&article Form to arrange collection: https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1879&np=1

You still get pints in pubs in glass glasses. We had pizza at the Chandos in Brockley, proper plates & cutlery. Sorry haven't been out for tea/coffee but it's ridiculous.

I'm with Louise, they are very entertaining to watch. They perhaps became more bold because there are fewer people around? (There are still traps around the pond.)

My GP surgery is sending me to the Tessa Jowell centre to have my BP taken, along with a few other checks. Weird.

The Day Lewis pharmacy on Forest Hill Road is doing flu jabs.
