Hope your physio went well yesterday Slyvia and will be thinking of you today when you get your results. Fingers crossed it's not bad news and everything else for that matter xxx

I'll just grab a coffee as I'm passing through

Toots you got 27200!

Hope your results are good Syl....Im sure they will be <3

Nice early breakfast this morning Sylvia and SO delicious too <3

Hope the day and everything included in it goes well for you today.

Dea Xxx <3 <3

I will be going in to work soon but seems to have been fairly quiet overnight.
SIL's friends were working on a roof in Eltham and saw smoke. A friend in charlton reported some gangs on the streets but sounds like they moved into Eltham. Looks like the heavy police presence helped.

We saw the SPG and armoured cars racing into the area last night.
We hated giving in but it would have been foolish being the only shop open.

Yesterday and today were supposed to be my days off but needs must.

I just keep thinking of all my elderly housebound patients who would be terrified.

Jonesey are you telling me the sirens were not more police cars but your Mrs J's singing.
I heard it from here.
Please record it and I can play it if we are under attack. It could be our secret weapon. ;-)

Hope alls well with the results Sylvia <3

Thanks for brekkie Sylvs. Thinking of you <3



Haven't heard the news this morning yet but glad it's quieter where you are LK. So scary for you.


Grey day. Waiting for rain to tumble down.


Politics...? Have to say I am rather with Fans on this one but am not a political animal.


I admired the young woman who kept being shown on the new last night. She was quite right in my humble opinion........what are the parents doing letting their children roam around at night? Discipline has gone out of the proverbial window.


My son is sometimes known as VD to his friends. It stands for Victorian Dad! Tell you what though, his kids love and respect him - you can take them anywhere - they know how to behave - they have manners - they have boundaries. They are not angels and can get into mischief like other kids but they know their limits and are the happier for it.




Ooooooops ...... here comes the rain! And lots of it!

Good Luck Sylvia,

Regarding riots.... I tend to wonder why the military were not called in.

One punch or one stone thrown is all it can take to spark a riot and the dark side of human nature to spill over. You know it's wrong but it's okay because other people are doing it ... it only takes one person to throw the first stone.

However, it could be likely that most people were already prone to anti-social and aggressive behaviour and the riots have given them an opportunity to vent their rage. I believe there had been a peaceful march a while ago and it didn't get press coverage... so now this has, they have been recognised not for the right reasons but they have gained recognition all over the world.

There will be a disaffected group in society and this is the opportunity for them to voice their aggressions.

and then there's basically hooligans who will jump on the bandwagon just for the hell of it.

Some people think about stealing, burning and general violence but their conscience or society prevents them from doing it.... they see it in the movies and on television... and now the riots have provided them the context to do so.

The use of cellphones and youtube etc have enabled people to pass it on...
in some cases they are seen smashing up their own communities which would normally be irrational behaviour to them, but this situation is not normal.

And of course a lot of the stuff that was stolen would for the most part be unobtainable to many of them.

Oh well

Just been looking at SW16 ---

Its not stopped all day....the rain. It been like early Oct today, not too cold, wet on and off, dull and windy

Sylv.....not heard from you today, hope you are OK


LK...thank gowed things settled in London. I know there were rumours that the riots would spread everywhere in the UK

And how refreshing that the Londoners all got together to go and clear up....fantastic. The best was a guy this morning on the news that said we all have to stand and show these people....

Eeeee Cyns, just like the war years ;-)

Wouldn't know Gins... Wasn't born then!


Renes, I know what you mean.....I was looking at our house prices the other day and I think OH should have retired at 65 instead of 68 - the prices were quite low then.


Been out. Come back. Must finish my messaging and other bits and pieces.

Where is everyone ?????

Had a bad day here.

Worried about Sylvia also !

No-one to talk to - anyone there??

Dea,

Sorry to hear that you have had a bad day.

The site has been playing up by flashing the Error message, It took me 5 attempts to get on the thread just now.

Hi Jonesey,

No sign of Sylvia so that has me worried.

Also - I had a visit from a very nice Policeman this morning who informed me that me brother (and only sibling) had died !!!

Feling a bit 'low'

Dea Xxx

Yep.....I'm here Dea but not for long. Nearly my bedtime.


Just watching the news again re the riots.......aren't those deaths in Birmingham dreadful???

Yes Cynthia - they were REALLY dreadful !!

Nite nite all,

Dea Xxx

Hi Dea,

Sorry to hear of your bereavement. Never an easy time made more unpalatable no doubt due to the fact that he was your only sibling. Please accept my condolences.

Many thanks Jonesey,

Nice to know that there is someone there with me !!

How are things around your area now? Has the rioting settled down?
