:mad: and :(

hope he can find a way through it - my elderly neighbour was mugged about 6 years ago and she did just plow on through it - she still does her physio exercises to help her injured arm - she did become slower and slowed down though - psychologically she did ok - maybe because she's always been substantially mad (neighbours and sons tell me) that she took it in her stride
 
did anyone go to the Stokelitfest at the weekend? loads of stuff going on, I never got around to sorting out any tickets :D
 
plus of course - when foxes attack - somewhere in Hackney, Homerton/Stokie/victoria park, a fox was supposed to have attacked twins :hmm:

Me neither, I fancied the Iain Sinclair talk at Abney Hall but went to the cinema in the end.
There looked some interesting things on - hope they do it next year!
 
just bumping this gratuitously cos there was a lot of other neighbourhood chitterchatter going on:oops:

is everyone in Hackney too busy having a social life to post here?

A lot passed me, but I thought maybe they were on their way to the Liverpool St fire.

Miss-Shelf, you use the Lido at all?

I'm up for getting out and about a bit more now - Pub in the Park would be a good venue.

i cycle past it on my way home and think i should get round to it:oops:
i'm now nearly moved to tulse hill so i've been to the lido there
i'm focused more south of the river although i work north so i'm getting a good mix - just not much time in hackney apart from cycling through it

you go to the lido? pub on park would be a good meet up....;)

Went to a very weird party in Chat's Palace once..

Anyway.. I've just discovered the Pembury Tavern or whatever its called.. I shall return.
 
good.

i had many nights of wierdness at chats palace, a particularly memorable evening that i vaguely remember was seeing spasm on psilocybins, tottenham ak47's, super-8 movies and angry naxi slurs. well cool :cool:
 
had a walk along the lea from Clapton to Hackney wick today - very humid. Loads of folk at Hackney Wicked, bands were setting up, access to arty studios. a market selling clothes and arty stuff - it's a yearly festival, on tomorrow as well. Just by Hackney Wick station.
 
Can anyone recommend a decent tailor around Dalston or Stoke Newington or surrounding area? My wife needs a dress adjusting for a wedding. I don't mind paying a few quid as she bought the dress in a charity shop so we have already saved a packet.

Most dry cleaners in the area have an alteration/tailoring service...can't reccommend a specific one though.
 
Hello all. I live in Hackney now. Or I will when I can finally get off my backside and shift my stuff over there. Is it nice? Tell me it's nice.
