One on one? You're crazy.
Saw something on Instagram called #homertonclaptonwanderland , people have been encouraged to put arty stuff in their windows. So popped out and there were some windows in the next street , and I did notice more on a walk earlier but didn't know what it was about then. 3 days , ends tomorrow.
it's rather lovely, popping out tomorrow night as well, I think there may be more on the streets from Lower Clapton Road towards Chatsworth Rd .

I'm a bit of a scaredy cat
although the EE guy told me they can't trace you on the phone, I'm still apprehensive about signing in.I genuinely don't watch TV by the way!

the trick is to go round to ska invita's - as his name suggests, he is keen to welcome visitorsI'm a bit of a scaredy cat
and let him bear the burden of any tv licence related difficulty

Who remembers the Hackney Nuclear Free Zone sign at the end of Balls Pond Road, Dalston Junction
I remember it was still there late 90s / early 00s
Daft when nuclear waste trains trundled along the North London Line in the middle of the night.

Purim is noticeably low key this year, but still very cute.

I saw those two.I had a walk round the side roads this afternoon to see the youngsters in their fancy dress
some great costumes as usual.Definitely low key this year - they were not allowed to have the young men driving round on the flat bed vehicles with the music playing. I have heard music blaring out from a few houses though.
Yeah, looked like they were (quite rightly) trying to dial things down.

At which point maybe some Hackney U75 drinks again would be good?

The history of flooding in the Lower Lea Valley
Those of us who live in the Lower Lea Valley have experienced some relatively extreme weather in recent months, but unlike in previous centuries…
Liked this article, how they stopped flooding in the Hackney bit of the Lea Valley, I didn't realise that the relief channel was relatively recent.
Definitely. We could even throw caution to the winds and invite some nearby but non-Hackney urbanites too.Hackney history online events

I used to wonder what that channel was near Tottenham Hale, I knew it wasn't part of the New River. I think part of it was where they channelled the Pymmes Brook which came down from Walthamstow.
I also used to wonder what the Robin Hood sign was in the community garden at the bottom of Springfield Park - was surprised to find out there was a pub there! Partly because there were two other pubs within a very short distance (just the Hope & Anchor now).

The Robin Hood closed in 2001, I had been living nearby for 4 years by then, never went to it
What was the other pub ?Similar threads
