suggestions of things to do with kids this coming week

1.   Still lots of Harringay chimneys needing proper sweeping. Children of suitable age and size should be put to earn for you while they are learning for themselves and Making a Difference to the neighbourhood.

2.   A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People from Being a Burthen to their God-Parents or Borough, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Publick.  I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in Dublin, that a young healthy child well nursed is even at a year old a most delicious, nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked or boiled, and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout. A frequent Traveller through Crouche End and Muswell Hill, with an exotic palate for rare venison and sirloin rather than more tender milk-fed veal, persuades me that four year old children are trending and will soon be all the rage. 

3.  As for fun things to do, while considering Nos 1 & 2, are not the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery still open and accessible by a No.29 Omnibus?
