Rushy
basically a scrotum
Watching the old French chap paint those lines outside Brick Box was hilarious. Never seen anyone move so slowly in all my life.
The lines have have been mostly moved to give wider seating/merchandise spaces outside the units.

joy in people
Some paint footprints from the tube/bus stops to the market is a great idea - also they could easily "zone" the market into different colour areas with arrows with a bit of paint so you could remember "it's in the blue/red/yellow area". There should be maps on the main entrances and colour-coding would make them easier to use.
It's what a lot of hospitals etc. use as they are always doing stuff on the cheap!

Apparently a lot of people have been mugged on the path running through the middle of Kennington Park. I guess the council/police could have installed some better lighting or something, but instead this charming sign has appeared:
Excellent work! That should sort out the robbery problem. Wonder why no one thought of it before?

That'll definitely put people off of committing criminal acts for sure. They'd be scared to operate with that sort of deterrance.

There's a local artist who's done one of Brockwell Park. It's been around for ages and I think gets revisions from time to time. I think you can still get them in Bookmongers. He'll know how to contact her.A hand-drawn map would be nice
Its a wonder that none of the dozens of visiting artists over the past year have thought of it.

I often used to pick up the wages, in cash, between 1982 and 1996 and come via that path with no problem. Must be a recent problem.

I have bought cards with that map on them for friends' birthdays. A thing of beauty that map is.

She's done loads - Brockwell, Dulwich and a few others. You can get them all in the picture shop in Herne Hill and small card versions in the cafe in the park - amongst other places.

A Portuguese grill place in opening in Brixton Village/Granville Arcade this weekend. It's imaginatively and rather cheekily called "Brixton Village" and has chandeliers. Not like any of the barbecue places I saw in Lisbon the other week, which were rough and ready.

Oh, great. There just haven't been enough places with chandeliers in them for the last five years or so.

Chandeliers are earthquake early warning systems. Gives you time to dive under a table

And look where the chandeliers got the Prince of Wales!

Maybe someone should tell the landlord of the Elm Park to remove the chandelier!

Yes, they should.

I was there at 6pm and there were 4 people in the shop when I got there. You must have been lucky.
I've been in a number of times and it's always been busy.
She has 5 or 6 people working for her so there's more to Ms Cupcake's empire than a small shop on Coldharbour Lane.

Not sure about 'lucky' as I have no real interest in cupcakes. It's just another American hipster fad.

Windrush Square was popular yesterday
I meant to say yesterday, proper rammed, wasn't it. I tried to take a pic from the bus but got my camera out too late.

But what do you expect in an area that's "in motion"?

All that this motion must account for the smell outside Morleys.
