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

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      Let's not forget this is the lowest level of local politics. If McCash really thought his defection could trash the Labour Party nationally, and it was loaded with invective and exhibitionism, then that's pretty much the definition of a "hissy fit"! Scooping the Green nomination for DaWN constituency is also going to be a lot harder for a Marxist arriviste than you suggest. There may be a wave of new, younger Polanski-ites that have joined the Green Party of E&W recently, but it's the long-standing, often retired members of the Party that tend to participate in candidate interview panels and bother voting in selections...

      Franklins is being sold

      They've had 26 years or so of trading, and if anyone deserves decent retirement... In my view they're going out at the top. It's clearly being sold, assuming it all goes through as a very more more than just a going concern.

      I had heard this was on the cards a while ago, sad, the end of an era, but well done Rod and Tim for stewarding a beacon of excellence for so many years.

      Both your hopes will be fine, I think. Our waitress will stay on. The downstairs is getting refurbished, and the bar area enlarged, presumably by removing that awkward little 'lobby' by the loos.
