as a place to be depressed
towards the end of January
Sidcup is underrated. I recommend it
to writers, painters and sculptors
in particular. The 160-bus route
coming down from Catford
terminates in Sidcup. Very few
musicians are drawn from Sidcup
but it was popular once with doodlebugs
who often stopped here on their way
to London, hence the spaces

this type of sky ..
It’s worth remembering Sartre worked as a meteorologist during
the Second World War …makes you wonder 🤔
