I?m sure Sainsbury?s, Morrison?s, Tesco etc will all be doing discounts on crates.


Just be sure to feel a bit guilty about it because the use of alcohol as a loss leader by big chains is contributing to the demise of the local pub.


So to even it out go to the pub on Boxing Day and drink lots.

To be fair, a small band of us have been keeping the CPT open for years now, so I feel I can hold my head up... Besides, if the stupid pubs would stop being so selfish, and open on Christmas day, I'd be in there emptying my wallet!


Which reminds me...


A few years back the then manager of the CPT said to me "I can't believe this man, the one night I get to shut up, everyone's with their families, and I'm sat here on my own. Would rather open up!"... Guess that's the problem when most of the bar staff of London are thousands of miles away from family at crimbo time!

Mmmm, a pain au chocolat for breakfast (eaten on the hop whilst dragging a huge suitcase - trust me, I needed the energy)

A mince pie popped in whole for elevenses (it was tiny - honest)

Mmmm, a rather nice latte presently on the go as I clock watch....

BB, do you eat cream eggs all in one? Respect if you do!


I was always led to believe that the real wow-factor is if she can suck one through a hose-pipe ;-)



Has been a gluttony-free day thus far in the number5 house: Mrs.number5 on nights so asleep, I opted for a final day of racking up credit before the big day - porridge, run, light-lunch. Dull, and very jealous of you all, but means I can feel free to eat a ridiculous amount tomorrow!

    • Looking for crate/toys/play pen etc. Ideally will buy in a bundle. Can collect!
    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
