Both me and my husband have work on this half term which means we are not doing anything special with my daughter apart from endless playdates with her friends (which she loves of course).


We do have thursday morning free - any ideas where to take her as a treat? We need to be back home by 2pm so whatever it is has to be reasonably close. She is nearly 6.

Swimming she would love... soft play I think she has outgrown unless she goes with her friends.


Was thinking more like a museum or similar. I like the idea of the sticker room at the Tate but not sure it would keep her attention for very long.

Lots of stuff on at the Southbank this week - including freebie 'Become a Superhero' at 11am on Thursday:


"Become a superhero in this workshop with artist Laura X Carle and storyteller Rachel Rose Reid, who will help you decide what your superhero powers are.


Choose and decorate your superhero cape and eye mask. Then pick a name and be photographed in your final superhero pose."


Follow with a nice lunch in one of the many eateries.

I took my 6 year old daughter on a day out to the V and A recently. They have this fab back pack system which you borrow and they have activities to do in different areas. We then went and ogled the jewels (this was satisfying for both of us) and had then bought a postcard making set in the shop for sending postcards about said day out to Grandparents. Perfect day on a number of levels for her, she still talks about it, and I loved it too!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
