Brixton chitter-chatter and news - May 2012

26' apparently - I'm waiting

4.00pm

 

[London_Calling]

Well, I've been shirts off with a book at the lido - gorg.

Water temp should be over 16' tomorrow.

That is pleasing. May have to pay a visit in the next few days as 16 is my starting temp for the lido

I'm off to the pub to sit in the garden. I'll probably have a headache and be feeling sick within half hour Knew I should have dug my hat out yesterday but it's temporarily hidden in bombsite of flat

Getting tempted. Swam in see earlier in year in Tasmania and it was 16. 16 is bracing.

 

[London_Calling]

Indeed: sweet sixteen. You know what I mean.

People in 'normal' bathing costumes are coming out looking less zombiefied now.

Obv. best to enjoy it before the bloody kids get out of school

 

[Badgers]

Pub eh?

 

[kittyP]

Pub eh?

Pub

 

[Chilavert]

All this talk of pubs is very depressing for those of us stuck at work.

The Trinity Garden is a very appealing prospect for this evening though...

I like how tomorrow is supposed to feel like 26 and sunny, with the chance of occasional thunderstorms... Which is it then?

Sounds more like tornado weather

Well I had a nice two hours sitting in a pub garden whilst thinking of poor office workers probably getting a blast of aircon down their necks

It's perfectly normal to have both

I've found San Marino's coffees to be the opposite of what you describe. My milky coffee there has pretty much always been strong and smooth tasting. Fed's coffees have often been borderline tepid- and that's after a 15 minute wait (and £2.80!)! And in terms of ambience, you can't beat people watching on Brixton high street.

Rather than go down the Nigel and pay £8 for a pint of macchiato I like to make some nice filter coffee. And drink it at home. Hmph.

It's grindingly hot out there. On the plus side the Villaaaage was pleasingly quiet.

No! Don't complain about the summer sun! If the weather becomes shit, I'm blaming you!

 

[sleaterkinney]

I believe they're rebuilding the playground post all the Thames Water work

It's going to be an impressive playground

 

[Mrs Magpie]

It's certainly been tenacious. Loads of playgrounds in the area have closed over the years.

I can't believe a bloke standing on his roof has created a mini Tweetbomb.

Was it you on the roof?

 

[editor]

Was it you on the roof?

It was my man servant. I sent him out to buy some fresh supplies from the Villaaaage but the combined sound of the 4x4 prams and single speed bicycles drove him quite mad.

We've had him put down now.

Not bad. Has anyone secured a GPS fix on his location yet?

Acre Lane

Got 'im, cheers.

 

[London_Calling]

In the name of God let him go!

 

[bluestreak]

if i could get on my roof naked, i bloody would.

 

[London_Calling]

Given it's half nine and dark, can I ask why*?


* do I want to know ...

 

[quimcunx]

No. I've ripped my bodice shimmying up the drainpipe. Its sacrifice will not be in vain.

 

[London_Calling]

Is that a euphemism
