The Farmers' Market on Station Road was really busy again today. Good to see it doing so well.

Wow, I didn't know they did stuff like lots and lots of vegetables. I thought Farmers Markets were more like Villaaage stalls selling craft foods.
When's the next one?
 
:D @ sleaterkinney.

I visit the market most weeks, and the clientele is definitely changing along with the rest of Brixton.

Every Sunday. It's not hoity toity or hipster at all.

I bought normal stuff like apples, bread, some bakery goods, apple juice and some veg. The big bags of apples are cheaper than the supermarket and much nicer (see pic below!).

kaff feels a bit bare to me. I prefer the lounge. They do a good weeknight special on burgers 2 for 15 with chips and a drink... Generally i prefer to go somewhere a bit cosier though....

I like the Lounge as well (their coffee is better too), but I find Kaff better if I've got some work to do.

No, as it happens. Though there are outlets which stock it. 2. Her laptop didn't pack up in Greece. 1. She wanted one and she doesn't feel the slightest need justify her choices to you, even by proxy.

She likes Brixton. She's been several times before.

I did not ask her to justify her choices what I said was:

No Apple shop in Greece then?

Did you ask her if she wanted to justify her choices? "Even by proxy"?
 
Brixton was hot-headed last night.

I went to the Trinity first. The beer was nice but there were a couple of right twats there, recalling the spirit of the 80s ("Look at him - he looks different! Wanker!"). Mind you, the Albert was worse with three, extraordinary drunk large middle aged ladies wreaking havoc in the place and then arguing the toss by the door for an age when they were shown the exit. At the Dogstar I saw a guy departing the front door at some speed in a horizontal position with his shoes following behind him. Apparently he'd hit a woman inside so was thus swiftly ejected from proceedings.

The 414 on the other hand was a delight, with a full on fare of fluoro fluffiness.

Every Sunday isn't it? The farmers market is really good.

Veg and fruit is reasonably priced. Some of bread is to expensive. If you go late about 2 to 2.30pm some of the stalls sell of bread and sausages cheap.

I get the feeling the regular weekday traders are not keen on the Sunday Farmers market. The Saturday themed one in same place is Market Traders idea and is run by them. The Sunday market is nothing to do with the market traders association. I suppose its rival trade.

There's been some sort of incident in the village with police tape around the front entrance.

I saw that on twitter earlier. Police tape is never a good sign.
 
If you fancy listening to the London Underground Radio show, I'm playing now until 8pm, dub reggae electro techno and more. Live and direct from Brixton!

Don't worry, VP has every intention of stopping me doing too much too soon. :)

It doesn't help either of us if I end up with M.E. too But allowing recovery to be slow is, well, I don't need to tell you how frustrating it is. *and breathe*
 
Saw a couple of films at Ritzy this weekend which are part of BFI London Film Festival. There is more on over this coming week. Chance to see films not normally shown. Saw Indian film (not Bollywood) and a (very disturbing) South African film called Accession. Both good films.

Festival films on at Ritzy here

Unfortunately Ritzy membership discount does not apply. You can buy tickets in the cinema from BFI desk for cash only on day of showing of film. There are tickets available for most performances and they seem to be holding tickets for sale on day.
 
That's my standard response to anyone who asks me about the crime rate here - that it's safe unless you're a gang member/drug dealer. Or a teenager with a phone....or walking home from the pub on your own....er... or in a shop when someone sprays a machine gun all over the place...

Probably best to avoid the whole subject. :(

I thought we wanted 'them' to stay away?
 
I heard local gangs are specifically targeting people who are having houses bought for them in Brixton by their parents. It's not safe for those people. Please pass on.
