Sad news about the railway
I wonder if the construction work is for the roof extension or merely for the cafe conversion.

Yes!

I tried out the new bike shop!
If I go in there and just have a coffee will they think I'm odd? I mean, is the coffee shop aspect of the place just for people who are having something done to their bike? I'm scared to go in.

You should have said hello. I could have introduced you to Krappyrubsnif. Weeks was great, wasn't she.

Sad to see Kreuzkav is still a prejudiced, hate-filled, nasty piece of work. Fester on. I had a lovely and fascinating conversation with a charming elderly couple before the bar became too noisy for them - they seemed thrilled to be there as di…

No. Any chance of scanning it in for us?

Broadly agree. I thought the last one was a tad incomprehendible for a hearing audience, but I may just lack imagination.

The butchers' prep-house on the corner, the bit that's not being redeveloped. It services the legendary Godfrey's Butchers in Highbury. It's going to end up looking rather out of place, what with all the fancy redevelopment aroun…

It appeared that the furniture had been sufficently upgraded overnight. I spotted sofas. Some pictures from the pre-opening show: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151579006821162.1073741827.38319916161&type=1 (You will see my poin…

A real triumph last night. Four short plays written by and partly acted by deaf artists. Some challenging themes (forced adoption, Fritzl, dementia) and some lighter stuff (overactive comedy Buddha accidently destroying relationships). The Park 2…

Yes it's in the bylaws. There's also a sign on pretty much every bridge. Sadly you do have to be firm with some people.

Here for the opening night of the pre-opening showcase play. The place has a straight-out-of-Dalston feel, rather like the Arcola. Stripped back and utilitarian, lots of exposed brick and wood. the bar is great with an interesting beer selection. an…

Lock Seven is ace, as is the place next door. I love that stretch of the canal. Please remember that pedestrains have right-pf-way on towpaths, and that you must dismount going under canal bridges!

That's how it goes in my head, but the internet seems unsure. I am sometimes caught Cossack dancing to this song if I've been excessively sociable. Regardless, it's lyrical genius of the highest order.

Railway Walk features on this running app trailer
WHY ARE THERE NO ZOMBIES IN THE TRAILER? I feel misled. That said, despite not even having run for a bus since the late '90s, this looks like fun. More satisfying than the finale of Walking Dead season three, anyway.

I have opening night tickets too, plus tickets for the first night of the 'pre-opening' thing the week before. My only unanswered question is - when does the cafe/bar open? I understand that it will be open every day, and wondered if the…

I had an amazing full English breakfast there the other day. Best I've had in Stroud Green. Strongly recommended.

Until I know better I will assume all of the above is fiction (save for the roof-extension which I have seen the plans for). But I will take the opportunity to give a shout-out to The Railway. I popped in recently and it was actually pretty good. …

Ah, good to see you Lucy. Never thought of myself as an old-timer. I have tickets to most of the opening shows - can't wait. Good luck - or is it break a leg?
