Met with Lindsey (apologies if I've misspelt her name) yesterday in the picnic area & she kindly invited me along. I swung by today around 3.30pm but I didn't recognise anyone there from the day before. not sure if anyone made it in the end?? Hope perhaps to catch you next week instead.

Hopefully see you ladies (and anyone else who's around - Molly? Polly? Pickle?) on Friday for a little farewell for S and I :-((

I'm thinking either after Babble and Squeak for an early lunch or after lunch and nap time at say 2ish?

Must get on with making cupcakes tomorrow!

Hiya,


Yes, would love to meet up. 12 midday would be good for me, may also manage 2, but can't promise as C generally sleeps 1.30pm til 3pm and then it's the school run. But whatever you do I will do my best to at least show my face briefly......keep me posted...


Also re the temperature and ibruprofen thing we were chatting about, I have found out why, and I think I can relay the info fairly accurately as follows; there are two schools of thought - the big concern with babies and young children and temperatures is the risk of febrile convulsions, and it is now thought that it isn't the temperature itself, but a rapid rise OR drop of temperature can is most likely to cause them. Therefore some consider it better not to give meds to bring temp down quickly unless baby is showing signs of being in extreme discomfort BUT another school of thought is that it is better to make them comfortable, get them drinking, moving etc. and more likely to do that if given ibruprofen. This tends to be a discrepancy between the UK/other parts of Europe and Australia, which is why your Spanish Doctor reacted as he did by the sounds of it. Interesting stuff eh!

bee74 - sorry, we usually meet up on a Tuesday afternoon from 2.30pm in the picnic area of Peckham Park .. but I have ransacked the thread to get the girls out this Friday as well.


Molly - aha I see, makes sense! Good one you for even remembering to follow this up - haha. Ok so going forward I may try Calpol initially and see what happens .. mind you if its a little fever and its related to teething then I may not feel so bad giving him Nurofen - less quantity (though probably more concentrated ;-), it deals with the inflamed area and the fever all in one go. Thanks for this though - I'm glad to have it clear now after being rather confused ;-)

Hopefully see you on Friday at some stage. x

Ok scrap Babble and Squeak (thanks Fran!) as it isn't on this week.

Meet in the picnic area of Peckham Rye park from 10.30am / 11am?

Bee74 - opposite the parking at the cafe is a gate - if you walk through there, over the little bridge by the toilets and keep going straight up through various little gates you'll get to the picnic area - I'll have down some bright red/black/blue sarong type blankets so you shouldn't miss us.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
