Brixton chitter-chatter & news Jan 2012

I don't know if everything in between went?... gaijinboy poked his head out and the buildings on the other side of the street (ie in your direction) were ok.

Well it's often the case of when this part of Brixton Hill is off, the other side is on and a couple of blocks down is on, which is why I thought it strange that your side was off as well

 

[quimcunx]

hm, wonder what the relevance of 1990 is?

Is that when selfridges opened their brixton branch?

Brixton Branch? You mean in Morley's?

 

[quimcunx]

Somebody in the block has brought mates back and they are drunkenly singing along to 'so lonely'. Police song? ASBOs all round.

I thought the Albert would be quite quiet what with it being the week after NYE. I was wrong. It was jumping!
Great night

After been awoken by something that sounded like the world's biggest hammer early yesterday morning, the nipper and I went to watch the diggers at the playground yesterday in Brockwell Park. They were putting up the new sign for it. I was a bit teary (wierdo) but the little one was sooo excited. It really does look like it's going to be amazing - 3 different zones for different ages, great range of activities. I'm surprised it's a March opening scheduled.. I would've thought they'll be finished before that.

 

[gaijingirl]

actually - just popped into my into my in box is notification saying Slade Gardens has now opened a new playground and from the plans it looks good, so might go check it out.

Not Brixton but Morrisons in Streatham has one

 

[gabi]

[Minnie_the_Minx]

i dont do streatham

Is it not trendy and vibrant enough for you?

 

[gabi]

i dont do streatham, sorry. sw9 or nothing.

 

[tarannau]

Tesco is is SW2 you plum and that was already the only Coinstar locally. The Clapham Jct/Battersea Asda may be your other choice if visiting Streatham is beyond you.

Had a look this morning: it's incredible. Our kids are very lucky.

Workmen are also repaving the walled garden. New railings coming soon too.

Oh, I remember the gardeners telling me about that last year. I'm very happy about that as it's not really disabled friendly

Filming happening on Rushcroft Road this afternoon. A guy said it was The Hour.

 

[London_Calling]

If I missed Romola Garai in that red dress.... holy mother of God!....

It's hard otherwise to see how The Hour drew an audience.

Maybe a bit of Brixton will pep it up.
