Snow men in Dulwich Park

[Walter Wylde]

Any thoughts on the best snowman in Dulwich Park today ? I saw a fab one near the tennis courts with a carrot nose just like when I was a kid !

I saw that one. A foreign guy was taking a picture of four adults around it. Maybe the Russians who sent us the snow in the first place decided to come over and leave us a memento !!

I saw some great snowmen in Dulwich Park, but my favourite memory from today was watching a family in the playground. They had some of those plastic mini shovels (I only know them as Ki-gliss's). They were using them on the slide and because they were using these little "sledges", they were whizzing off the slide and through the snow. Much laughter and screaming ensued - very sweet.

Igloo on Goose Green was v impressive.

An ED dad screaming at his children 'IRIS! JONATHAN! DO NOT GO NEAR THE IGLOO!" was a highlight of my day.

And the entrance was carefully boarded up too.

I trust not too many forumites lost in snow drifts. Tomorrow a greater danger, boredom, may begin to show. Perhaps there'll be even more walkers into work. I came across this btw, from Paul Terry, in a uk.transport.london thread today:

"My grandfather, who was station master at Monument, once walked 15 miles to work in one of the

impenetrable smogs of the 1950s - he got up at midnight and left home before 1am, and was only a

little late in opening up the station soon after 6am - I always remember him complaining that he had

to walk slowly because visibility was down to three feet in places."

Honk, I am beginning to think you are like a car alarm. Initially you think - Oh, that's something I might need to pay attention to. But then as the same note goes on and on, you realise it's just noise and you wish it would stop.

Moos, I think my crush has come back.:-$

I'm surprised you can hear it over the hum of self-contentedness.

Ooh, there it goes again - beep - beep - beep - beep - beep - beep - beep - beep - beep - beep - beep - beep.

I suggest a spot of tag-team wresting:

In the Blue Corner - Moos and Dulwichmum

In the Red Corner - Louisa and Honk

2 Falls, 2 Submissions or a Knock Out
