FAKE NEWS IN FULHAM.. "BUT IT MUST BE TRUE, IT'S ON THE WEB!

Well.. Dear Readers.. there were a couple of very confused people on the North End Road yesterday. for they were searching for a shop which wasn't there. 

Mum was talking to Maggie, more on her later, when these two women approached them and said "We are looking for the Aldi store, do you know where it is?" 

Maggie and mum said in one breath "the nearest one is on Tooting High Street, you can either go to Clapham Junction on a 295 and catch a 319 or go by tube to Tooting Broadway".

"But there's one here on this street" said one of the women, who pulled out her mobile phone and fiddled with it. Maggie looked at mum and smiled, "there" said the woman and sure enough, on Google, there was an Aldi store listed as being at 375. North End Road, Fulham, London SW6.

"No, sorry love" said Maggie. "Number 375 used to be a shop called Shop & Save but it's now a Farrow & Ball Paint Shop".

And Maggie and Mum both said "Fake News in Fulham!" 

Poor women.. off they trundled with their fabric bags on wheels, goodness knows where they had come from but they weren't happy. 

Back to Maggie, she's been away for ten months in Australia but NOT on holiday. Her lovely son, who was living in Melbourne, was savagely attacked, beaten and left for dead by three young Somalians. 

Luckily and extraordinarily, the whole incident was captured on camera and the three men were found and are in custody. 

Initially, they thought that he might never recover from his injuries, that the damage to his brain was too severe and that he would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

But Maggie has now been able to bring him home, the hospital in Melbourne to where he was taken were absolutely brilliant. Their rehabilitation teams worked wonders, but he is left with damage to his frontal lobe.

Oi vey..

She's off to her Moorfields Glaucoma Clinic and I'm going to spend the day figuring out how to get this cupboard door open.. for the top shelf, where there are piles of bed linens, would be a mighty snug place to snuggle down and spend the day. 

PipPip.. 

GeeGee Parrot.
