A bonkers hit and run day back to South London.
Wish you were here, etc.
The snowboarding Anna meant that I had to be here and there.
Here was around at dawn and dusk to be with Daisy and Dotty; there was back in South London for a school day in SE21.
One proposition was MASSIVELY more appealing than the other.
Steady.
And so an early Estuary Wilds start on the strategic 7:06.
Essex trainspotters will be familiar with the advantage of this train. Once you are out of Witham then you have a clear run all the way through to Stratford.
I had a brief catch up with Linely at the other end at LS. He was en route to Liverpool. My end destination was the other side of London in SE21.
I cycled through a busy City on the Brompton, crossed at London Bridge, and freewheeled down to the Elephant.
A burn through Brixton, and then I stopped off for the briefest of brief social calls at the lovely lido.
It was a GLORIOUS Lido Golden Day. Blue skies and a blue basin to match.
Betcha those dancing fairies were doing their fanciful flirting thing under the water.
I didn’t have time to find out. Morning assembly on the other side of the Park at 9am was calling.
I’m pleased that I made it in time. I was rewarded with a singing and signing of Twist and Shout.
LOVE that school.
I tried a new way of working - again - after a useful catch up with some senior school folk.
The feedback is that the parents want PICTURES.
I can do that.
I planned to snap more, and scribble less.
Come chucking out time and my camera had 400+ images.
2,195 words are sitting on my MacBook waiting to be published after visiting 18 different lessons.
That didn’t go too well, did it Jase?
EDIT.
Gorgeous, gorgeous #SE21 day, Comrades.

I legged it out of SE21 after 4pm. South London smelt of summer; South London smelt ACE.
I stopped off at Mr Dilieto’s in SW8 to stock up on some Transpontine olive bread.
And then back to LS, and the train all the way back to *over there.*
I arrived back in time for Match Talk on Radio Nottingham. I can’t say that I am looking forward to the D***y weekend with any enthusiasm.

Daisy and Dotty were bloody active.
Dotty did the Mr Toad thing, bringing in a fresh fella for me to inspect.
Cheers, luv.
I packaged Mr Toad up in the lunchbox, and lobbed him over into the nearby pond.
I know how anglers feel.
Chelsea Vs Man Utd, a bit of Elvis and BOOZE.
Shall we do it all over again tomorrow?
