Camberwell, well, well....

Aah the marvellous manor of SE5. I've just moved there from SE1, so have added an extra 30 mins to my daily bus journey to work. Fortunately, I still have a 1 bus-to-work situation ( a prerequisite for flat purchasing ) and it's pretty empty when I alight.

Have collected an admirer ! His name is Ahmed and he is a strapping guy of 27. He wants me to be his girlfriend. Yeah right. Somehow my boyish dress and mohican lures him to flirt and wheel about me on his bike.
*Since having seen him with some little girly trotting behind him and nagging, he hasn't chatted to me since.
I do feel as if I've done my bit for community relations and am less intimidated when passing the group of "hooded youths" in the neighbourhood though. Hurrah.

Places to go:

Hermits cave - a pub nr the green which, as my mate Andy says, is a place for old gits. I feel quite at home there, and I've spotted the odd cute girlie bargirl.
Sun & Doves - up Coldharbour Lane a bit - fab bar with free wireless and gorgeous garden out back. Cocktails and good food, had my b'day there. Nice staff.
Tadim Cafe - Turkish cafe resturant thingie. Mural of Fethiye on the wall, which, seeing as I had a fab holiday in that region, has endeared the place to me.
