Steve T,

With regard to your earlier post, are there pike in the big lake on PR?


I'm genuinely interested.


I've seen a fair few rats, both water rats and the normal kind, but was not aware of pike. How thrilling if there was a huge, ancient pike (not to mention wild cats) that lived on the Rye.

Little to tell. A little quirk of mine, I like to look at it most days and see how accurate it is. There is a squiggly graph at the bottom which tells you how much time to add or subtract depending on the month.


Using the graph, it was pretty accurate until the clocks went forward. Now it's way out, man.

I seem to have two teeny tiny birds living in a teeny tiny hole in the brickwork next to a large window sill.


They flew so fast in and out that I could see nothing except that they were tiny and perhaps brown with a white flash on the front. Will have to investigate.

One of the things about wrens is that they have very thin beaks, which are quite long in relation to their tiny bodies, or always look that way to me.


Also "rounder" bodies than pied wagtails I think.


And I think they are completely brown, not with a white flash anywhere.


But I don't have the energy to look up my bird book :)


I love wrens, had one who used to be about my (very small) garden a lot a few years back.

To me the distinctive things about wrens is that they are remarkably tiny in comparison with other small birds, and their bodies are very deep, if that's the right way of putting it - very round bodies, as Sue said.


Pied wagtails are black and white and not so small, so perhaps not?


Anyway, here are some pics

    • As we know Love Dulwich is now a Turkish meze grill restaurant and today they have started their lunch time special. A choice of a cold or hot starter (4 of each to choose from), plus a main meal (4 the choose from including a veggie meal) £15. I had hummus with the softest, warm bread to dip in it (you can ask for more bread) and then chicken shesh, 3 types of salad (onion & sumac, red cabbage & traditional leaf), bulgar - huge portions.   The food was tasty and delicious. Chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy and full of flavour, salad was fresh and the bulgar was cooked perfectly.  If you didn’t want the lunch special they also had the main menu which was small but with some amazing meal, chicken, veggie & fish options.  We really enjoyed it and will be back to sample the evening menu as well.   
    • Nikolay's work was recommended by several forum users in here, and we decided to go with his services after getting his quote: it was well priced, with the cost of each component clearly broken down. We recently purchased a Victorian conversion in Catford which had alot of damaged floorboards (old, but also damaged from badly done DIY repairs) which needed replacing, and a 4 x 4m bedroom which needed all new floorboards installed as previous owners removed all original boards to install cheap chipboard floors covered with padding and carpets. Nikolay and his team removed the chipboards, and built the floor in 2–3 days from reclaimed boards, alongside doing alot of replacements and repairs to a lounge and dining room. When the quote was to go up due to more repairs being needed (we asked for it) Nikolay communicated the changes, and gave us an updated quote quickly so we could update our budget for it. They were very communicative and gave frequent text and photo progress updates when we could not be there which put us at ease. The whole job was efficiently completed in 6 working days including sanding and staining all the floors. The job was completed to a high standard, and the results were incredible. I still have 1 more bedroom which needs restoring, and I have every intention to go back to Nikolay again for his services.
