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.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Sue · Posted

      As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!

      That is almost too ridiculous to answer but I'll take the bait. You are comparing a national charity with one branch of a small charity. Cats Protection has around 34 dedicated rehoming centres. CHAT has two, Lewisham & Canning Town and a sanctuary in Sussex. So if Cats Protection have homed 34,000 cats, thats an average of 1000 per branch. From memory this years total so far for Lewisham CHAT was over 980. I saw a few homed this weekend so we may well reach 1000 for this year. The same as Cats Protection. No need for head scratching.
