I wonder if it's the same one as last year on the Parkland Walk. He seemed to be more interested in flashing (his bum, I think) at men. Every man I met on the Parkland Walk coming towards me, warned me about him being further up, just round the…

That's a great photo!

I saw some on Hampstead Health. If you go down the track next to the ladies pond, to the end where the barrier is, then go right into the field opposite the Stock pond and aim for the far entrance to Athlone Gardens closest to Kenwood House. Befo…

Don't think I've seen any, and I'm out most days walking. There's Hawthorne and blackthorn in flower, but not much else. Last year I got some at ALexandra park but it was a bit later in March or possibly April.

I'm slightly surprised at the high endness of it too. Not sure I'll be rushing there just yet. The Shaftesbury has really grown on me, it's a really friendly place, and I have a soft spot for the Queens.

Not sure, whenever I have to get a prescription, normally in Crouch End, occasionally in Stroud Green, I always have to wait in a queue, sometimes for over 15 minutes. I guess Crouch End is full of people over 50 with type 2 diabetes, plenty on th…

It does look smart, bit like what the Kings Head has become in Crouch End. Good beer is all very well, but a lot of wine in Stroud Green is filthy stuff. I hope someone buys the Nicolas Nickleby soon. I don't even care about the carpet and m…

I've been doing it a bit. There's quite a few around me, as well. https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/7796925?preview.

I guess it's well done to them for getting on with it. The boundaries can't be over-lapping though, so they can say where they'd like the lines to be drawn but neighbouring areas may have other ideas. Surely it would matter which area you were i…

Required by what law?
-
No I've not heard of it either or seen any signs saying a permit is needed. I do quite a lot of foraging, partly because I'm out everyday walking my dogs anyway. Sometimes I see what the dogs like eating and give that a go. They really like yo…

I didn't have a loft conversion, but I extended my attic room with a larger dorma and roof and sky lights. I used a builder rather than a company because I wanted a bit more control over the process. The guy I used, had worked for loft conversion…

I won't miss either of them. I just hope to god the Devonshire becomes a bookshop.
-
Planet Organic, maybe.

For just a tyre I'd go to the tyre place opposite the Stapleton on mt pleasant cres. He's quick and cheap.

I think the temporary idea is a better one. Normally to obtain capital funding you need to own or have a lease on the land. It would cost upwards £150,000 to dig up that bit of road and pavement and repave, brick it, cobble it or whatever. Th…

Well done for getting away. It's scary though. Hope it wasn't too traumatising. I go to the park quite often after dark, walking dogs. Once I met a couple of plain clothes policemen who told me to be careful. I normally go out carrying not…

Glad there's someone else wandering the streets looking for provisions in the wee hours.

Was that Croxley?

I suppose I've been by it around 20 times now at various times. It seemed to be originally branded as a late night place so I've often checked it out, coming back from the pub, but not managed to make it by midnight. Closing then is too early t…

The place is like Brigadoon. I've never found it open. It's certainly not open 'late'.
-
It'll come back, you know.

Went last night and got a take away. I really thought it was great and I'm very fussy. I had the kidney bean dhal, the Aloo Rayo, a mint stuffed paratha and the Papri Chaat which was excellent. It's very fresh tasting and each dish is quite di…

mm just has they were about to fruit. Kind of blank slate now.

I was very pleased to see the road narrowing at the ends of Lancaster Road. I used to live at the UTP end. I had to move because I couldn't stand the noise and vibrations of the constant vans and lorries using it as a rat run. The humps just ma…

I use them a couple of times a week, while leaving my dogs in the dog pen, taking their chances with the staffies. I'm normally in and out quite quickly and can hardly ever get to the sink because there's a baby in it having it's bum washed. To be…

I believe it's the Amazing Adventures of Bertie the Border Terrier, to give it a plug. I've not read it. I believe there's a story in it about how Bertie gets lost in Finsbury Park. I know Bert, seen him in the park and he hangs outside Vaga…

It starts at 8pm and lasts 30 minutes I read somewhere on there. It says the beer is first come first served, so maybe they'll run out. You can't take drink in either. I'm going to try and secret a can in my pocket. I went to the park yest…

I find the number of them quite disturbing. Sometimes you see several on an evening walking home. I think loads of people routinely feed them scraps. I've met quite a few locals who almost have their own semi-tame one, which they might have kn…

I use Hornsey Vets. They're fine, although they seem to have a lot of locums and churning of staff. I think they're a bit of a well-oiled machine, with very efficient regular texts about updates on vaccinations etc. The cost of it all, takes my …
