Everyone is an exception to the rules. Rumours of a full lockdown from Friday. That'll be interesting.

Co-op had loads of loo roll at 8.30am this morning. I was up at Sainsburys a little later and even the memory of toilet roll was gone.

Hi - I guess hard to know for certain at this stage, but is it likely that baby groups will still be going ahead? We've recently welcomed a new addition to the family and were looking forward to making use of all the lovely baby-orientated groups in the area (baby sing-a-long at the library etc.) Obviously, good health needs to be prioritized, but if anyone has any insight to share, that'd be great. Many thanks in advance!

For IBS - can recommend doing The York Test - ~?200 but got to the root of my problem quickly. I hear lots of good things about Symprove for IBS. In terms of plant based food locally, Naifs in Peckham is really great food.

Hi - if you don't get any suitable offers, there are some local services such as https://www.southwarkworks.com - best wishes!

Ah, a shame to lose this, but after the much delayed start it must have made the financials difficult. They did a very good vegan burger. If anyone is interested in good vegan burgers, I can recommend the one from the Picturehouse. Best wishes to them. I'd love something like Seacow to come back.

Would have been nice for them to do it earlier and let the local neighbourhood know this was going to happen so we could have kept pets indoors and prepared our kids to either enjoy it or not be scared by it.

They removed my labelled bin! :D

ublock is good for me.

Hi Siousxiesue, In my experience and the experience of people I know, it is mostly about getting involved in an activity you're interested in and/or enthusiastic about. Even for solo hobbies there'll be communities of enthusiasts. And there's plenty of things to volunteer in. I think friendships for men are basically contextual. You might get lucky and find a friend for life but mostly they'll come and go. It won't happen instantly, it takes time and a willingness to make friends. And you've got to know how to be a friend. https://m.wikihow.com/Attract-Friends Meetup.com isn't a bad place to start to find different groups to get involved with. https://www.meetup.com/cities/gb/17/london/ This is good for finding volunteering opportunities https://do-it.org/opportunities/search?location=East%20Dulwich&miles=10&lat=51.45208&lng=-0.06145&sort=distance&order=asc&page=1 I know some people who made a lot of friends playing games like Pokemon Go that make you get out and about and meet other players doing the same - and walking is very good for your mental health. If your brother is isolated, for whatever reason, just getting out there and getting involved will help - but it will take time and persistence. And it is hard to get out there if your motivation is low, but get started, keep going, be open, and it'll come together. Best wishes!

Good article on male friendship here.https://www.mrporter.com/daily/how-to-make-friends-in-real-life/1932

There were quite a lot in Petts Wood the other week.

A lot of construction work going on around Saucy today - it lives!

Devastated. I loved that 40 route. Transport to/from E.D. isn't great, but the 40 was one of the highlights. Everything gets ruined. :( I guess I can send my complaints to [email protected]

About time!

Oooh that is good news.

(Whoops, meant to post this in the La Scala thread - Signoria is good too) I just want to say the breakfasts here are so good, and made with real care. My favourite avocado and poached egg on sourdough in the area. Good coffee too.

Gutted. Amazing food.

Could you use Google Maps to match the light source to the building and then navigate around to see the front of that house?

Seconded. Any customers of theirs who cares about animals should say something and take their business elsewhere until this needless suffering ends. 😞 Very upsetting.
