Hi - I volunteer in Kings and was with a patient today who is very sick and has lost her sight. I wondered if anyone has a small radio or talking book ??? I don't know how they work so I'm open to suggestions. The patient is quite religous so she could listen to a religous radio station. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

Hi Topbanana


Thank you so much for your kindness, I think the most useful thing would be a personal radio, it would have to have simple controls as the patient is not used to blindness, I would also be happy to put money towards something, I've organised a speaking clock - hopefully that will also be useful.

Have a read of this about the Stream BookSense and let me know your thoughts. It has a speaking clock built in already.

I am in that part of town on Friday so can get one if the RNIB have one in stock. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

Top Banana by name, Top Banana by nature. Lovely act of kindness. Top stuff TB. And you Hilili. Seems to be some good things going on at the moment via the EDF.


I'll do my bit for the local economy in the Xmas build up and purchase most of my Guiness and associated beverages on Lordship Lane.


Barry!

    • I was sitting on the park bench yesterday opposite north Dulwich station and found an Apple Watch hanging off the corner. I have brought it home and charged it hoping that someone might use ‘find my’ to locate it. Equally happy to be contacted this way to return it to the rightful lender / they just need to say what colour/kind of strap it has. If you can think of a better way to return it / find its owner then please advise. And/or feel free to share on other local fora. 
    • How many are there in your racist category?
    • Precisely DR it’s entirely understandable to conclude one is so disillusioned by Labour for Tories, it must be time for someone else  That  is an entirely reasonable position But if the next step is to then transfer your vote to a party full of charlatans, snake oil salespeople and racists? Then  you stop being reasonable and start being thick and/or racist i understood why Tories took power in 2010. I feared it was an error but I wasn’t castigating people who voted for them tories (then, not now) and Labour are hamstrung not by civil service or EU but by a weird media and a weird voting system in an age of social media.  The answers don’t seem to be coming from them yet but voting reform will only damage the country internationally and internally  the Tories may yet regain power but are currently led by a madwoman, with a madman positioning himself to take over. Will take years for them to sort themselves out labour are making errors all over the shop but are at least in the ballpark of sane governanc.  In no way should this give them a free pass but in 2025 there genuinely isn’t anyone better  (and current polling for reform is meaningless - in any general election be it 4 years or 4 months their lack of accountability and standards will become all too clear)

Or a rather thick old trunk, covered in leaf growth?  Look at the damage caused to the end and right hand railings.  NewWave, any chance  of loading your neighbour's photo here?   Or anyone else with some good focused photos, from various viewpoints if possible?
