Putney hustings last night: a resident told the transport chief he sat in traffic for months as his father died.
Her response? "We were surprised by the congestion."
Every candidate claim fact-checked.

Wandsworth Council won't release fire safety records for a building where 60 people lost their homes.
Its own reviewer said the problem could be examined without waiting for the fire investigation. The council took two months to say no.

Here's a wren, up in the old willows down on the Spit. A delightful little borb, being very noisy indeed.

Press advertisement for Peterkin Custard. The headline is "Liquid Gold" and, next after this and the brand name, the line "Real Eggs" is most prominent in the copy-heavy execution.
Fading painted sign on a wall with a picture of a boy in yellow clogs and baggy trousers. From Ghost Signs: A London Story "While at first sight the sign appears to be a privilege for a local grocer or bakery, it was in fact located on the premises of the Cato family, oil and colourmen based here at least from 1891 to 1941. They sold a wide range of goods, including paraffin, ironmongery products, paints and thinners. While these seem unlikely bedfellows with Peterkin’s products, wallpaper paste can also contain cornflour, the basis for most custard powders."
In 1926, Peterkin Custard's "Real Eggs" claim came before a court of law, and found to be less than truthful.
There's more about this, and the wider Peterkin story, here:

Polls say we could actually turn Tooting Green if there was a general election so we can definitely do it at the local elections. Greens CAN win seats in Wandsworth this May but only with your vote. Voting Green wont ‘feel like a wasted vote’! 💚

A cormorant on a wooden piling. It is a dark bronze bird, with a white face and a yellow flash over its green eyes. The base of its beak is starting to change colour.
And of course I couldn't visit the Wandle delta without checking for cormorants on the pilings. Today's is coming into its breeding plumage...
It was also a little bashful.

A brightly coloured duck floats on a river. It has a blue and orange head with a red crest and beak, a purple breast, orang wings, a blue-green back and a touch of white on the edges and tips of its wings.
In all the years of my Wandle wanders I haven't seen a mandarin duck. But today a pair were along Point Pleasant.
They don't look real.
