Noticed someone had broken into a car on somers road this morning.. They better not try and rob us, think the cats might eat them:D
 
The brass neck of people never fails to amaze me. My friends in north london got robbed last week, they literally removed the front window and frame and got in that way. On a really busy street as well

I got burgled once through someone smashing through my front window. Was a nightmare trying to claim the insurance back :mad:
 
We had a couple of attempted break-ins on our block on the hill too - smashed up entry systems trying to get into the blocks - looked pretty determined...

Were they in the past week too?

You'd have thought there would have been a major spate during the heatwave. If the windows are shut they must be out.
 
We had someone have a go the day after the riots. Climbed up the grills over our kitchen window to try and get into the open window of our neighbour's flat above it. However the window was only open cos she was in :facepalm: He legged it after being told to get to fuck quite vocally :D Amazingly he managed to crowbar through our front gate in broad daylight in the busiest street in Brixton with no one noticing before then :rolleyes:
 
last-minute babysitting miracle saw my evening debut in brixton village tonight (sat). absolutely packed, and everbody going 'this is sooo cool'. which it was.

also debuted in trinity arms and electric social, made a decennial visit to SW9 and dropped into the landin'. only the social was not almost-exclusively 'white'
 
Me and my friend were at b village and are,at sw9. My friend was saying that BV is cool.

I doubt it. I went along to that - pictures later!

oh we went too - it was nice, in a low-key way. scribbled on the sculpture - Orla in particular enjoyed that and treated it as a giant climbing frame - then she had a right good old boogie.

Speaking of Jay Rayner - we almost ran him over with the pram at this event yesterday. Last week it was on bicycles! He's everywhere!

To be fair it started at 12 and you (we) only caught the tail end of it. I thought it had worked well judging by the amount of writing on the "sculpture".
 
I saw Jay Rayner and his family strolling along Coldharbour Lane yesterday. He was glancing about in a very peculiar fashion, overlooking his family, peering around them. It really looked as if he was waiting to be spotted.

And Granville Arcade was ridiculously busy. I'm so glad I live here all the time so I can visit and eat there when it's not full of Rayner's readers.

I stuck around and it got busier again when the the band went on. Some of the speakers were a bit, err, individual, though.
 
A beautiful warm breeze blowing across Brockwell Park this afternoon, and wonderful to see the BP mini-railway in full effect - almost as many dads as tiny tots riding and careering alongside the train. Truly a lovely scene.
 
The UK Uncut prtotest was moderately attended though many of those there did get into the spirit in their dress and accoutrements. Bit like one of those football matches where you can't tell who supports who.
