Hackney chitter-chatter &tc

Incredibly, me and the partner were not admitted to the Birdcage just now because…

It’s VIP night. :D

I have lolled all the way to The Axe.

They were nice enough about it and gave us each a Birdcage canvas bag.

VIP night! At the Birdcage! Me from 1997 is incredulous.
Was it packed with VIPs then? I'm not sure I'd know what one of them even looked like... 🤣
 
In better news though, he started going to the pedro street youth club in the clapton park estate, it is the oldest youth club in london (1929), mainly boxing. Their summer club is free (including food) and absolutely wonderful; he is very shy and finds socialising and team sports quite a struggle and is quite a lone computer type (like lots of kids), but when i pick him up from this place the first time he was covered in sweat and had had the best time of his entire life, and made friends etc... he now really loves boxing and keeps going back and is way more confident, almost like a transformed person. It is a really inspiring place, everyone who does it are volunteers, and there are like 2 heavyweight champions as coaches . We should all donate (well I obviously am doing as a normal day club would be like £30 a day anyway!)
