Dates have to be in a 'lozenge' box for authenticity, left untouched and unopened until everything else has been eaten... http://brianclegg.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/anyone-fancy-christmas-date.html


Warnick's Advocaat and Dubonnet are must haves in the drinks dept, best served from a pine clad bar in the corner of the living room...

Figs - dried and compressed into the shape and consistency of a small brick.

Tube of smarties with a get-the-ball-bearing-into-the-clown's-mouth game on the lid.

The leatherette cover bought to hold festive Radio Times.

The smell of simmering sprouts on Xmas eve...

Sherry & babycham for the grown-ups & definitely advocaat. Ready made snowballs are just not the same.

And a Sindy doll, an annual, a board game & a selection box from Santa every single year!

Great day today, just the 5 of us for dinner, although we did pop to the Ivy House for a festive beer before starting the cooking. Family in Ireland were on skype.


Cooking was a team effort with me and the missus, i do the turkey and roasties and she does the rest.


I have already had two snoozes since dinner.


Dulwich Fox, hope you managed to have a good day.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
