[quimcunx]

A tardy start to the month, once again, my Brixton friends.

It's a bit rainy out innit.

Crap indeed. Woke me up several times (hence being up at stupid o'clock on a sunday morning...)

Word. Rain haze over Brockwell Park again. I wouldn't mind but it's not even raining properly, just drizzling.

Quiet round here today. Guess everyone must have gone to see the Queen.

Or maybe they're staying in, out of the rain, and watching it on tv.

It was properly pissing down late last night. bit like now, but even more so.

I'm thinking our guttering needs to be cleaned again.

Oh well, the land needs it. Come the you know what in July, the grass'll still be green enough to be comfortable on.

Not here (Minnie knows where that is).

Just got some lettuces in town. The chap offered me 5 tomatoes for 10p. I said 'sounds like a good deal to me' and he said 'yes, I dropped them on the floor'

Fine, if you wash and cook them.

They're gamely keeping the reggae music blasting out of the Brixton Dominoes Club despite the endless downpour and lack of people outside.

One of my neighbours was playing this - seemingly on auto repeat as I'm sure I heard it about 8 times before I shut the window - yesterday when it was chucking it down. Although I'm not usually a great fan of antisocial neighbour activity I did raise a small smile to it.

 

[bluestreak]

nice

We walked past last night and there was a mahoosive bunch of people and an epic soundsystem. Tbf we walked from Myatts Fields and came across about 3 different soundsystems and parties. None of them seemed that bothered by Queenie, just seemed like a great excuse for a piss up

 

[ajdown]

Anyone know why there's a 333 stopped outside KFC, with police tape round it on the pavement side and an attendant copper? Other buses seem to be running ok round it.

Interesting.

I too have something I lost receipt for that's unlikely to get worn and not sure whether to try taking it back or not

Pay cash or card?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

No idea. Had a week of panic-buying clothes for b/f for wedding and was using both cash and cards and taking stuff back and forwards because he's lost weight so all wrong sizes
