Emails can be so NOISY these days, can't they? Nothing like the pleasant clank of the letter box, that we were used to in the olden days.

I turn off the incoming email ping on everything I have that can receive them.
Plus any badge notifications too.
Zero distraction and then I set aside a chunk of time during the day to go through any email.

There may be a greater number of interesting things going on in London by virtue of its sheer size, diversity and centrality. But everywhere is interesting in its own way - even Bus Stop M - especially when dg writes about it. I like to read about places I've never been as well as seeing other people's take on places I know well.

I'm now looking forward to the post about Southend, assuming there will be one?

Woken by an email? Yikes.
A baby wailing and stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking,
Maybe its just me,

Interesting. Mixing mulled wine with bathwater is something some people do, but I've never tried it myself. Please let us know how it goes!

I'm confused ... you posted at 7am, but you were asleep at 7am and didn't wake up until 7.40

Advice to DG (and all others):
Put Saint Etienne´s 'Train Drivers In Eyeliner' on instant repeat!
Then your day will be...
just perfect!

I don't get this email noise thing. The point of email was meant to be that it sat there until the person was ready to deal with it. And now people complain when you reply to their emails at night, because it wakes them up. Or even when you comment on their posts at night, because the system sends them a notification email, which wakes them up.
On another matter, is this blog notionally about London? I thought it was about whatever DG wants to write about, which just happens to be London quite a lot of the time.

12:33 - it does carry the implication that the parking bays are kept clear for the sole purpose of being available for a religious group for two hours on a Friday.
These five bays are fairly recent too - 3-4 years old, two youngish trees were removed for their creation.

I do not pay for my prescription (too old), but whenever I collect it there always seem to be other people paying.
Come to think, they may not be paying for a prescription all the time, as you can buy other things there, and I don't stare too hard at what they are paying, that would be un-british. But most of the other things in a chemist can be bought cheaplier in a supermarket.

I got moaned at when I replied by text message in the middle of the night to a query I had had earlier. (Due to a slight case of insomnia, thought I may as well be doing something).
It turned out that the office to which I sent my text have a 24-hour phone service, by someone taking an office phone home, but that they also had a text-to-speech gadget, which turned my tedious text full of numbers into a long diatribe which the poor soul on-call had to listen to at 3 a.m.

A lightbulb has gone on. Here on the Isle of Dogs, I've seen a couple of parking bays which only permit parking for two hours on Friday. There's a mosque nearby. I've been baffled why parking is only permitted for two hours on Friday. Now I get it.
Actually I don't. Those spaces encourage car use. There are 18 buses per hour passing here - using a private car to get to a mosque in central London is unnecessary and antisocial.

An uneventful day, it would seem, but was your visit to Chessington yesterday morning so much less eventful that it doesn't merit the DG touch?
(I wouldn't be at all surprised!)

I see it says in the top corner "Life viewed from London E3"
That's really interesting about the parking spaces. I do find it a bit odd though, next to a bus stop.

Any car parking space encourages car use. At least one with such short opening hours does not encourage very much car use.

Chessington and Box Hill on the same day? Perhaps we're going to get (a long overdue 😉) write up about the 465 bus. Perhaps not.

I am shocked to find out that DG deletes emails. As a completist, I would have thought every email no matter how irrelevant or mis-directed would still have got saved 'just-in-case' it was needed in future.

Friday post 19:00?...are you leaving out the "good bits"?!

23:59 Finish writing about another trip I made outside London, so you can read that tomorrow.

electionleaflets.org have a sighting of a leaflet from an independent candidate in your constituency, but as you say, no Tory.
I wonder where the London Stadium's seating will go when the land surrounding it has all been built on?
