Well my alarm went off at 7am this morning like it always does. No work to go to today (a perk of being freelance) but it's now 1am and I am still snuggled under the duvet thinking 'too exhausted from four days of little sleep and a lot of stress'.....


Tell me why I should toss aside the duvet and get out of bed today folks!

well you could go do 450 leg presses down the gym...


In a month it will be cold, dark and grim, so I would get some sunshine whilst you can


However I think, under the circumstances, a day of duvet, tv and carbohydrate (in quantity) is perfectly acceptable. If you need to feel some sort of achievement go out get the ingrediants for your favorite comfort food, cook and then eat in bed guilt free as you have been out.

That'll be 1pm.


There is no actual need to get out of bed (sez another freelancer)... even to contact your usual sources of contracts to check on project timescales; though I do tend to favour the vertical position for this task.


However, I have popped down to the library to return a video (House of Mirth - anything but), have prepared the space where this afternoon's wood delivery is going, and I may even get around to potting up a few horseradish plants. A step too far may be getting around to finishing off some sanding...


You could get yourself a Slanket and move your centre of operations to the sofa...

I like the idea of taking a blanket and moving my centre of operations to the sofa.......


My garden is Peckham Rye Park and fortunately I have staff to sort that out :)) but I do have a chilli plant to pot for outside my front door so may do that......(after all has been sitting there to be repotted for a couple of weeks now lol).

ooh PR is this for the forthcoming film Bend it like Peckham, a story about a collection of daring renegade football amateurs coached up to ladies football supremacy...... I know its been done before but continuous themes worked really well for James Bond and every Guy Ritchie film......


Never ever buy a Slanket, its admitting defeat.

I confess I have been out of the door to chop a little kindling for the winter. Satisfying. But I'm safely tucked up indoors again.

I was totally disappointed with my Slanket.


The fleece is quite thin and it was COLD (6) plus although I'm only five foot four, it wasn't long enough to cover my feet properly when lounging on the sofa.


You can get slanket-type things which have little pockets for your feet, and next Winter it will be one of those for me :))

I'm to idle today to even go out for ciggies of which I have run out and am gasping for one.

The Slanket is almost 8 feet long (7.9)! How can that be too short?

Are you sure you didn't have a 'competitor product'? Some of them are trash e.g. the Snuggie (too short and very much an inferior product).

xxxxxxx


It was a genuine Slanket and quite expensive.


It is long when you are standing up, yes, but when slouching about on a sofa with it wrapped around you, and trying to keep your feet under it, believe me it does not seem long.


Hence, presumably, why some competitors' versions have pockets for the feet.


Have you actually tried one? If you have, you will find out what I mean.

What size pot is your plant in currently? If it's small and you don't pot it up soon - you won't get many chillies. Has the plant got any chillies on it yet? Has it any flowers?

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By ianr · Posted

      I'm glad that Barry's have posted.  Their mention of the merger soon led me to (a) bushy-tailed  PR guff about the new member joining the inpost 'family' and promising a bright happy world of lockers etc ahead. and (b) clear signs that the same problems related here seem to have been current and widespread even three months ago.  That's just from looking at one thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinted/comments/1nlv3u2/yodelinpost_merger_issues/

      Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.
