The L in the Electric Avenue sign was flickering this evening, very filmic
I'm not one for branding everywhere but yeah, I like the sign too.
I think I'll like it even more if one of the letters constantly buzzes and flickers like in a 70s road movie.
The time has changed, the darkness looms, the cold is here, winter is marching up onus! Help keep the warmth glowing in the beehive place!-this sunday- we will varnish the art to protect and grow the space a little by adding new art and plants for the winter and a little recycling cheer!
Weʼre raising £200 to help fund the winter maintenance of the community street art garden in Beehive Place, Brixton
What were the crowds like. We went the first year and thw crush was scary??!!Just been to the fireworks in Battersea Park with the pre-teen. Very slick display, better than the last one at Brockwell Park and better organised. Apparently there were close to 50,000 people there. To be fair, it's an easier space in which to hold a large event.
The highlight for me though was working out that we could bypass the traffic jams and get back to Acre Lane by walking to the Patmore Estate and getting on the start of the P5 route.

Sounds better. The first year it was in we left before the fireworks as it felt dangerously crusshy. We had a had a 6 year old with us but if if been only own I wouldn't have felt safe.Not too bad - plenty of room to stand and watch. Getting out was a bit of a squash and a squeeze but only for 5 mins till we got past the pinch point.
I'm slightly surprise no-one has yet commented on the new squat in the old coach depot behind Brixton Cake Shop.
The rather demented owner/minder of 316 wanted me to barge in there with him the other night when they seemed to be re-enacting the baked bean scene from Paint your Wagon
Must have been last Monday I'm talking about. They had been there several days already then maybe even a couple of weeks.Are you sure? I walked past there yesterday and went to look through the hole in the door and saw the back of a van marked 'security' before a near-rabid sounding dog barked itself into such a frenzy I feared it night eat its way through the metal door.
Don't you see that removing mouldy mattresses from our streets makes them more attractive for cafe culture and luxury food grazing? You need to be wiser to the real motivation behind these initiatives.Gentrifree doesn't have to mean living in a shithole...

Wow!! How do you get through four. What happened? Sorry lol. I'm such a nosey cow xDoes anyone know a *reliable* dogwalker?
We've honestly been through FOUR (sorry for the mail-esque flourish there but im fucking pissed off) in the last week. Seriously, how fucking hard is it to put a lead on a dog and walk in the park, for 60 quid a week.
