London Day 23

Sunday......

Didn't quite get up in time to get to church. Ooops. Took the hound out for a walky. Did some tidying. Did some theological reflection stuff (I so much prefer the group stuff than doing it on my own!). Went to South Bank and had coffee and soup (yes yes it was 30 degrees and very sunny but I fancied soup so I had soup). Was not alone in this venture.. Was joined by my diminutive friend. Was good to actually see someone face to face.. London is a bit debilitating!

Went back and did more TR. Took dog out for more walkies later! The end

What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

For every £100 a month less income than the median you start school one month behind developmentally. Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
