Firepeople still marching about barking into megaphones like the fascists on "Waiting For the Worms" though.

And a sweet smell of charred Argos furniture wafting through teh air.

I heard about that fire on Radio 5 while driving back and forth between Glasgow and Paisley yesterday afternoon.

It's the only radio station I can get on my car radio.

Are you sure it was the NW8 one?

There were two other much bigger fires yesterday in London.

One in Manor Park, Ilford and one at the Edward Woods estate in Shepherds Bush (about a ten minute walk from Grenfell ).

The Evesham House one was diddy by comparison.

Ah yes, it was the Shepherds Bush one I heard about.

Roadblock, air ambulance. Po-leace everywhere.

Did he fall or was he pushed?

This evening, in slightly more sedate fashion...

I've just noticed that an enormous overhanging branch (verging on a separate tree) has broken off a (copper?) birch tree in the communal garden.

Obviously my first instinct was foul play by anti-arboreal thugs, or over enthusiasm on the part of scallywags swinging on overhanging arbours etc...

Having looked at it closer now however, it would appear top be a result of said tree being allowed to develop a mega-dangerous-branch what could of crushed our future.

Or me.

Kill it. Bleach, vinegar, salt, cheapo speed, random attacks, kickings, engine oil, fire. We had the same thing with a sycamore. All of a sudden we had no choice but to take this thing on (two years, and they shoot up and out like nobody's business), now gone.

It seems a pleasant spot. I can hardly believe it's the scene of all the noisy goings-on that you report.

Or maybe you live in that little brick shed with the corrugated roof

Holy cr*d!

People (I suspect youngsters unacomstammed to booze

nightjar has sadly died

More than I have ever heard even with every episode of The Streets of San Francisco playing on multiple tellies at once.

Some serious chainsawing going on, somewhere in the distance.

It is the way of the world.

Is there another bogging gig in Hyde Park again tonight?

Earlier this evening, there was a man, in a visibility jacket, walking around the streets, with a backpack on that had a big antenna sticking up out of it. And he was studying an electronic tablet as he was doing so.
