The ice this morning seems to be slippery - almost "greasy" in a way. I saw (from afar) an elderly lady with a stick fall just on the corner outside Dulwich Library, and others skid. (She was all right and was tended to by passing teachers with a school group.)

Can ice take on different forms? The ice yesterday seemed thicker but "drier" and didn't cause me to skid (in the same shoes).

Ice is more slippery around 0 degrees (something to do with physics which I don't fully understand). Not so cold this morning.


Smooth flagstone paving in particular was quite dangerous this morning. I see the roads are gritted but not the pavements!


Edited to add - ice hockey article on fast and slow ice which explains more about the "slipperiness" https://www.exploratorium.edu/hockey/ice2.html

    • I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Yousef and his team for my recent house move in East Dulwich. Downsizing and relocating  my stuff from a house to a flat was made a calm and pleasant experience. The move included large and heavy items of furniture, taking items apart and reassembling in the new place, as well as loads of boxes. Nothing was too much trouble. I can thoroughly recommend this service, you will not be disappointed!

    • Just seen that a lease has been agreed for the Tile Giant site next to Toolstation at the Grove Tavern end of Lordship Lane. Does anyone have the inside scoop on who has taken the lease? 
    • The GM's in Dulwich has been gone for around 3 years, so the most recent post must be about the Crystal Palace branch, I presume the same staff moved over? I've been going to Tash at Kuki for a while, never had a problem.
