Finishes on Friday for me. Only 4 days to go. Pleased that I have not given in as yet and should see it through. Friday could be a big night! If you see me, avoid me. :))

After a month of abstinence I was wondering how to sacrifice what felt like a newly acquired virginity. I didn't want any lout of a 'Brewed-under-licence-in-the-UK' lager or pushy plonk muscling in - they will have their way with me in due course.


Drew a blank yesterday then tonight, as I was walking up the lane, I got seduced by a glass of hot winter cider in the Palmerston. Fine cider, spices, orange and a hint of vanilla.


They are doing it 'take-away' too and I expect NorthX rd Mkt to be all the better for it tomorrow... mmmm, good to be back.

I think he is doing his best but some things (the 'look' at Diouf, the signing of Carew) have me bemused. I think he WANTS to move on from the long ball game so he can be considered for the England job (after Harry) and sees WH as his best bet but old habits etc. The old accusations obviously irk him (which is why he bangs on about them and how it's not true any more in interviews).


I do think Cole has improved and Nolan is pulling the team into shape - still think we will need a top goal scorer when we go up.

But it is true.

I'd love to do it this month as feeling the burn (my age) a bit, but am squeezing in seeing x (event/person/place) for the last time most weekends over the next 6 weeks *wipes away a tear* so can't see it happening.

Luckily I'm moving somewhere that people don't really associate alcohol with social occassions and environments..... :/

Horses keep getting in the way. Last year Frankels last stand on 20th of the month and this year Silver Treasure 16th, so yes the abstinence is getting shorter, but I usually last long enough to be sober for the company doctor annual medical. I tell him I'm teetotal.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
