Given the inability to go out, or have people over; as well as the fact that there are not even any fireworks this year....who's actually planning on staying up until midnight?


Going to bed early also means the annus horribilis that has been 2020 ends slightly sooner....So TheCat will be eschewing alcohol and curled up well before pumpkin hour....let's hope a barrage of backgarden fireworks in the area (left over from November?) don't disturb my slumber.....

I?m going to be making the chocolate Yule log I didn?t get round to doing on Christmas Eve.

I will probably dance around the kitchen while doing so.


As much as ever, Nee Year is a celebration so think about your blessings in this year while kicking it up the bum on it?s way out and making sure the door is properly shut.

There are photos somewhere to prove it 😱

Impressive. Sounds like your kids aren't getting you out of bed at 6am most days....lucky f@ker:)

The silly flippers are already letting fireworks off at 6pm. Not sure what this is about. I'd like to go for some sort of walk about midnight, just to get out the house. Hopefully the naughty out of borough people who drive up Canonbie, block the road for half an hour and then drive back, wont be around. I could walk up to One Tree Hill but not sure if there will be a large, essentially illegal, gathering there, otherwise same for Dawson Heights (even if I am waking into a different borough......). It's going to be perishing though. And otherwise will watch Joools Holland, have a bubble of bottly, but not sure if we have anything to celebrate.

    • Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident. 
    • 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
    • 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.
