Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[teuchter]

it is raining. Not sure that count as chitter chatter though.
If you are height restricted, it might be a big deal getting on a step ladder to see of its raining..

Unless you already have a step ladder by the window from looking out for snow a couple of days ago.

And you thought that someone on the internet might save you some effort by getting up and looking themselves and then typing a report out for you here.

But they didn't.

I'm sure I don't know what you mean.

I'm thinking of getting up in a minute to check on my snowduck. He's blocking the path at the moment, you know.

 

[teuchter]

What are you expecting to find out when you check on him? That he has moved to a less obstructive location?

 

[quimcunx]

That he has slimmed down, thus affording an easier passage for pedestrians.

 

[teuchter]

Perhaps he will have flown away completely.

 

[quimcunx]

I doubt it. I didn't make it any wings.

 

[quimcunx]

Phew. Thought it had lost its beak. Put my glasses on and it's okay. It seems to have become a cyclops duck though. Only one of its tangerine eyes is visible.

The fish shop in Herne Hill (Cape Clear?) has gone into receivership. Big old lock slapped on the front door, National Rail eviction notice on the window and a shop full of stock still inside. Its going to smell.

That's a shame. tbh I was surprised when it opened about a year or so ago because lots of shops had closed round there, including the butchers and the bakery. I guess there's only so much trade to be had with sainsburys round the corner and every type of fish imagineable available up the road in Brixton Market

I've seen your duck

I've seen your duck

Did you walk that extra bit up the hill for a nosy?

Not at all, the bus stopped there and I got on the top and had a look

Tube station refurbishment update:

Work continues at a blistering pace and today I noticed that they have partly tiled a couple of the platform level cross-tunnel walls with cream-coloured tiles.

Bah! It's all rainy. No snow. Booo!

Whoo every last trace of snow can fuck off now IMO.

Nooooo! Don't listen to her!

More snow! More!

 

[Pip]

BEGONE!

It's snowing a lot now.

Anyone know anything about the emergency gas works going on outside Brockwell Gate/Tulse Hill?

They've been working all night, have dug 3 big holes - left site about 6am and just returned.

All night? That must have made a good nights sleep for you.

Let's just say it was disturbed!

...but, they've clearly acted very quickly, and got/getting the job done in freezing conditions.

Damn, I forgot about that. I was going to make a post about how ugly they were

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

BEGONE!

Yep, the snow can fuck off now

 

[Missez]

I've just been out in it. It wasn't nice.

I'd go back to bed, but I'm trying to get through to my old university for a transcript of my results. I have a suspician that they've been occupied by Gaza protesters and that is why they aren't responding to my emails.

I got to go on a tour of the works a couple of weeks ago (as the noise affects our flat) and apparently it will be finished by October this year

Looks like it's all melting now - I must have missed any snow cos I just looked out the window and even the snow on the field out back is starting to go

Also the shopping arcade / entrance from Electric Lane will not be reopening - its being used for offices instead.

 

[Crispy]

In the last planning app I saw, the passage remained open, but all the arcade units were taken up with offices?

 

[snackhead]

Thinking of going outside in a bit, maybe to Brockwell Park.

They told me it was just going to be a fire escape for the offices, they might have got it wrong though.
