Thanks. I'm not too bad, not yet at least.

It's more that if I go to work with a cold at the moment it causes more problems than it solves: some clients have poor personal hygiene so they'd likely catch it, and then the staff would have to treat it as C-19 and get the clients tested.

We ask all the clients if they have symptoms every morning and if they do, they have to go to the doctors. If I'm at work snuffling and spluttering it would be hard for clients to understand why I could stay at work and they couldn't.

That makes perfect sense.

Just take care of yourself xxx

@deptfordmarmoset the café looks exactly how I remember it!
Shame about the lack of evidence re the POW camp, but I think the last residents left in 1945!! There's no sign of any prefabs either.
As far as I remember, it was all flattened and covered over, same as Blackheath.
It was used to dump all the bombed out buildings then grassed over. The church used to be on a mound, not down in a dip, I believe.
My dad spent the war trying to shoot down German planes with a big gun there..


Must have been fun exploring there today, though 👍🏼

That's all it was, a gentle tap, holding the jar in the left(non dominant) hand.

The non dominant hand is more likely to be inexact in its application of force. Use the dominant one.

You can't import it any more.

We have plenty of nice Black Forest air though, so I'll live. (I've noticed I cough less here than in Stuttgart because the pollution is much lower)

You send me half a dozen black forest gatocks and I'll send a large envelope of Yorkshire air from the seaside do we have a deal.

There used to be a row of asbestos prefabs just to the east of the last houses. They're long gone, understandably! You might find out something locally, but I think it was all turned into parkland after the war.
The other nearby POW camp was at Woodlands Farm just up the hill from the We Anchor in Hope pub.
Let me know if you find anything, please.. 👍🏼

That's a bunch of info I never knew about. Remember walking in the woods quite a bit, but that must be at least 40 years ago.

I had a bit of a sleepless night last night and am feeling a bit tired now .
I am a bit more cheerful as I managed to get the seized stem out on that frame I found . It has been stubborn but it finally gave up today .

Signed off sick with a cold for the week.

Obviously I'll need to get plenty of fresh air though, to stay healthy, you know...

Sounds like a Corona virus.

I have a and a miniature bar of Green & Black choccy. 60% cocoa solids with crunchy toffee for those who want to know.

And it's really lovely.

There was a reason for using the non-dominant hand, I'd damaged the good(dominant) hand.

Go easy with the Scythe for a bit.

Hmm... can you certify that it's genuine Yorkshire air?

On second thoughts, from what I've heard locally, by he time it gets through customs it'd probably be stale.
