Oh the weather outside is frightful,

But the fire is so delightful,

And since we've no place to go,


All together now...


Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions!


It doesn't show signs of stopping,

And I've bought some corn for popping,

The lights are turned way down low,


Everyone...


Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions!


When we finally kiss goodnight,

How I'll hate going out in the storm!

But if you'll really hold me tight,

All the way home I'll be warm.


The fire is slowly dying,

And, my dear, we're still good-bying,

But as long as you love me so,


Come now...BIIIIG finish...


Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adverse Weather Conditions! Let It Adveweeeeerse Weeeeeeaaaaather Conddddiiiiitiiiiooooons!

Good King Wenceslas looked out

On the feast of Stephen

When the adverse weather conditions lay round about

Deep and crisp and even

Brightly shone the moon that night

Though the (adverse) weather conditons were cruel

When a poor man came in sight

Gath'ring winter fuel


"Hither, page, and stand by me

If thou know'st it, telling

Yonder peasant, who is he?

Where and what his dwelling?"

"Sire, he lives a good league hence

Underneath the mountain

Right against the forest fence

By Saint Agnes' fountain."


"Bring me flesh and bring me wine

Bring me pine logs hither

Thou and I will see him dine

When we bear him thither."

Page and monarch forth they went

Forth they went together

Through the cold winds wild lament

And the adverse weather (conditions).


"Sire, the night is darker now

And the wind blows stronger

Fails my heart, I know not how,

I can go no longer."

"Mark my footsteps, my good page

Tread thou in them boldly

Thou shalt find the winter's rage

Freeze thy blood less coldly."


In his master's steps he trod

Where the adverse (weather) conditions lay dinted

Heat was in the very sod

Which the Saint had printed

Therefore, Christian men, be sure

Wealth or rank possessing

Ye who now will bless the poor

Shall yourselves find blessed.


PS I'm singing along ...

In the bleak latter part of the year

Unseasonal Siberian winds made moan,

Earth stood hard as iron,

Water like a stone;

Adverse weather conditions had fallen, adverse weather conditions on adverse weather conditions,

Adverse weather conditions on adverse weather conditions,

In the bleak latter part of the year,

Long ago.

Frosty the Adverse Weather Conditions man

Was a jolly happy soul

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal


Frosty the Adverse Weather Conditions man

Is a fairytale they say

He was made of Adverse Weather Conditions

But the children know

How he came to life one day


Frosty the Adverse Weather Conditions man

Was alive as he could be

And the children say

He could laugh and play

Just the same as you and me


Frosty the Adverse Weather Conditions man

Had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye

Saying don't you cry

I'll be back again some day


Thumpety thump thump

Thumpety thump thump

Look at Frosty go


Thumpety thump thump

Thumpety thump thump

Over the hills of Adverse Weather Conditions

I saw three trains come chugging in

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

I saw three trains come chugging in

On Christmas Day in the morning.


And what was in those trains all three,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?

And what was in those trains all three,

On Christmas Day in the morning?


A tramp, some cans and the Metro were there,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

A tramp, some cans and the Metro were there,

On Christmas Day in the morning.


Pray, wither chugged those trains all three?

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

Pray, wither chugged those trains all three?

On Christmas Day in the morning?


O they chugged their way into London Bridge,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

O they chugged their way into London Bridge,

On Christmas Day in the morning.


And all the bells in ED shall ring,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

And all the bells in ED shall ring,

On Christmas Day in the morning.


And why should the bells in ED all ring?

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

And why should the bells in ED all ring?

On Christmas Day in the morning.


Coz they're aint gonna be any sodding trains,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

Coz they're aint gonna be any sodding trains,

On Christmas or any damn bleeding day!


So may as well just get used to it,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

So may as well just get used to it,

And simply rejoice: Happy Christmas Day.

    • Just a quick post to say that my restaurant reviews column is now one year old. There are 45 reviews here* - mostly of local places (some sadly now defunct, others thriving). There are a couple of recipes from a period when I couldn't afford to eat out, a couple of moans about my health when I couldn't eat out on doctor's orders and a couple of reviews beyond our manor. But the main thing is that it is a free, useful guide to local dining and, I hope, an entertaining read. You can, of course, pay to subscribe or follow for free to get the reviews directly into your inbox as I don't want to spam EDF with every review (doctor says I'm not allowed spam anyway). The pictures below come from my two most popular reviews - Persepolis (new SE22 spin-off opening soon) and Norbert's, a great addition to East Dulwich. Please have a read and please consider subscribing. Did I mention you can subscribe for free?   https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/  *It would have been 46 but one review didn't run because the meal was so disappointing. I try not to be negative. To paraphrase Boyzone (or is it Westlife?) I said it best by saying nothing at all. 
    • I'd like to recommend Andy - came out very last minute to help us with a rental property that was having plumbing issues. We couldn't source the problem but Andy was able to find it / fix it easily & took the stress out of the problem. We have booked him again to put in a new bath for us now too as we were so happy with this work.    Lovely fella - thoroughly recommend using! Andy's number is 07983 688 451
    • If you're looking for a reasonably priced gym, there are a couple of PureGyms not too far away in Camberwell and Peckham. They're less than £20 a month with no joining fee. If you're looking to get fitter and / or lose weight, and you don't have any mobility issues, then download the coach to 5k app and start running. It's by far the easiest, quickest and cheapest way to improve your cardiovascular fitness and it's great for clearing your head!
