Yes.
Waddon is not part of the Overground but is served by Diarrhea Trains (Our
trains may stop but not the verbage). I was thinking this morning of
landscaping Sutton. If I do that, I might carry on to Waddon. I want to go
to the Wandle before they spend money on its redevelopment
I am making field trips to Crystal Palace and keeping notes.
I have New Cross Gate prepared - scheduled for posting tomorrow.
You choose your other targets well. Anerley. Penge West. It makes me think
of the ersatz rabbit psychology of Watership Down whereby they classify
many birds as _not hawk_
Anerley and Penge West are, for me, just _not_; and I am trying to pay
attention to them. I directed a young man to Anerley last night, one whose
lack of English precluded understanding of _Don't worry, I shall tell you_
& I was so preoccupied by getting him there that I forgot to look at the
place
I have coming up a trip to the other end of the Highbury branch and hope
to extend my observations that way
