I’d assume without hesitation that Raccoon lady is no more mad than at least half the people I bump into in Camberwell on a good day. At least she seems to have a sense of ID.

I’ve never had the courage to ask her to let me take a photograph. Now I know her name I might make an approach.

This is a badger site, it has funny lines going everywhere and makes [reply] [reply] noises as though it’s being hunted by lampers at night.

@53. Is she really mad? I wondered that last time I saw her. She seems to have enough sense to know how she likes to do her makeup. “Different” as she might be, I have always assumed harmless.

Raccoon Lady is that mad woman with the shopping trolley and the brown knit coat who walks around Camberwell arguing with herself, imaginary people, and real people. She has mascara plastered around and above her eyes. It makes her look like a raccoon. If you’d ever met her, you’d remember. Frightening.

Raccoon Lady was in Somerfield today, shouting at people.

Would you Adam and Eve it?

The reason the SE5 Forum site was down is entirely my fault — I didn;t pay a £10.45 name renewal fee at the same time as I paid for the annual hosting, because I missed an email sent on the 28 September bnecause my email at work imploded with potatoes when the email programme we use at S&D decided to get our domain name blacklisted so that wjhenever I send out an email invitation I get over a thousand emails back telling me the recipient dsidn’t get the message because sunanddoves domain has been sending out more than 500 emails an hour.

The good people at Fasthosts who I called three times last week said there was nothing wrong with payment, that it had been received and there must be something wrong with someone elses’ rever and so on.

That is until this lunchtime when Peter of this camberwellonline blog fame called me to say it was definitely Fast Hosts and I should call them and tell them.

I did call them and the person I spoke to today said ‘I don’t know why anyone you spoke to last week should have said that because there is an outstanding unpaid invoice for £10.45 and the domain has been parked until this is paid…’

So it’s not exactly entirely my fault.

@34 “bring back SE5 forum!” — fingers crossed, it should be back later today; failing that, tomorrow.

While on technical matters, a couple of things I’ve added/updated:

1. The latest version of the ‘edit your comment’ software is in place, so no more bugs (I hope). I’m currently evaluating a whole new comment system which will more easily allow you to follow replies.

2. I haven’t done anything for Blackberry users yet, but iPhone/iPod Touch users should see a special version of the site.

Just trying to bring things up to date a bit. I have plans.

Well that’s a nice positive thing to read on a Monday, need something cheery after the depression-fest that was Tess of the D’Urbervilles last night.
Anyway just swung by to say I popped into the Cambria with the OtherHalf last night and we were very impressed, I hadn’t been to it before now but had heard about the refurb from this here blog and decided to go for a wander up there to give it a go. We liked the decor a lot, agree that it is quite dark what with the black ceiling n all but I liked the atmosphere, had a couple of glasses of Argentinian Malbec which was light and drinkable and some sweet potato wedges, which were a bit over seasoned and produced suspiciously quickly, but maybe we were looking for a fault, they were very tasty nonetheless, and maybe I’m showing my ignorance of pub catering form by saying they were too quick. Either way I’d order them again.
Nothing more profound than that from me today, Legs Bums and Tums at the Camberwell Leisure Centre tonight, come on down if you think you’re hard enough!
