I was always slightly anti-Streatham, (it's a Balham and Tooting thing) but now that we have classes there, and that I may end up living there with a friend in the next year or so, I have grown to love it more. It has two very good things going for it: a great new deli full of wonderful cakes, and friendly T'ai Chi family bearing swords. Hurrah.

Boscombe beach two weeks ago.

One incredible niece in the water (sea temp 7 deg C).
