...not looking rosy...


Since Friday, I've received 4 calls from friends who have phoned to tell me that, although they should have left at the weekend, they've no chance of departing till (at the very least) tomorrow night.


Still, better to be safe than sorry.

I'm feeling quite relieved at the moment that I didn't have enough holiday days to go up to Scotland early for Christmas. I have my fingers firmly crossed that the airports re-open for my Thursday flight... although am considering trying to pick up a turkey crown to stick in the freezer just in case...
I just checked the weather for the week as I too am dependent on it clearing to make it away for xmas. It looks as though there will be a slight thaw by Thursday, but whether that's enough to get everyone away in time I don't know.

Yep, I'm in a similar position: due to fly out to Singapore on Christmas Eve. But I'm not going to worry about it. I'd much rather be delayed than fly prematurely and...


Besides, I've got 100s of things to do before we leave LOL!

Huguenot, you need to lower your voice...I fear such kindness will be detrimental to your scary reputation.


That's exceedingly generous of you. We'd have loved to have attended. However, given that our plane isn't scheduled to land till 14.55 on Christmas Day itself, we might be more than a little zombified and therefore unfit for company having only just stepped off the plane. But I am touched: thank you.


It's funny, I've just been investigating the importation of pork pies into Singapore...you might just get lucky - provided you continue to be nice, of course.

Are the ALL odd?


(Sorry.)


(I'll get my coat.)

I am currently on a trip round Argentina with a group of 6 - we were supposed to be a group of 17 but the remainder couldn?t get out of UK in time to join the tour. They must all be gutted. Any way I am having a lovely time! Please can the snow be gone by Jan 4th!


PS Ladymuck some people on my tour are friend with your neighbours!

Have you managed to fit in any football matches!? Guess you weren't here when Arsenal lost to Man. U:)).


Glad you are having a wonderful time. Here's hoping you get back without too much drama. Unfortunately, there is little chance of the snow being gone by the 4th of January. T says, more likely the 4th of July!


We're itching to know which of our lovely neighbours you speak...(PM with details please). Enjoy the rest of your holiday and come back safely. xx


PS: if you bump into Lionel Messi, give him a big kiss and try and persuade to come to Man U (or failing that, Arsenal - if he must;-)).


PPS: T sends big kiss x.

    • Hi Can anyone recommend a gardener to help lay turf and dig in a new flower bed in East Dulwich? thanks
    • It may be worth consulting your vet. If she's diabetic & on medication, she will have missed 1-2 doses. It's a relief to hear that she's home, & I hope she makes a speedy recovery.
    • The swimming lessons at JAGS Sportsclub are very popular, and the gym there might meet your needs. Southwark took over running its leisure centres from everyone active a while back and so far seems to be making a real mess of things. There’s lots of private gyms and other council ones in Lewisham and Lambeth so depending on exactly where you’re going to be you can look at those. JAGS and Dulwich College both have sports clubs with nice facilities, but you can’t use them during the school day. Check their sites for details. 
    • https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jun/26/cardiff-blackweir-festival-bute-park-dispute?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other Another example of a badly sited festival, and a council bending over for the cash. What amazes me is the similarity in every way to Gala - large areas annexed but the council trying to convince everyone it's only a tiny part of the park. Claiming that the flora & fauna is being protected when the reality is a tick-box environmental survey that's not worth the paper it's written on. All very depressing.
