Go Lions
Well, Mr H kept saying ‘we should do more different things, get away from south west London’ – hence we have just boarded a train heading for home at Hackney Wick rather than Hampton Wick. Just been to see the London Lions play basketball against Cheshire Phoenix at the Copper Box in the Olympic…

Prof Update
Saw Prof yesterday and came out of it feeling better than I expected. He's warned me before Xmas that we needed to decide re an additional course of treatment for me, which of course is about as welcome as a hot poker in the eyeballs.. But, its not as bad as it could be. Or…

Christmas Chipolatas
Excellent night as ever at Pam and Jude’s annual chipolatas party. Here are the ‘survivors’, still giving it large in their garden at midnight last night. At least the coats hid the particularly impressive Xmas wear. Mark Syd wins the prize for his oversized Elf. X

AV Parties
So – on Thursday night I went to the Added Value Xmas Party. Billed as the 'last ever' because the Added Value name will go forever from January 2018 when the company becomes Kantar Consulting alongside The Futures Company, Kantar Retail and Millward Brown Vermeer. Well, one of those at least could really do with…

Impromptu Mini Soirée
Jules and Nicky had just arrived for a 5 night stay chez nous this evening, when the bell rang and in came Pam and Jude bearing Janine’s Latest Hannibal Brown wine order. (Our gaff’s closer than hers). Swiftly followed by four…
