A trip out to Notting Hill Gate today for the dentist. I used to work in Notting Hill, and she's a good dentist, so it's worth the journey. Also, there's a good charity shop/book shop next door.
Most of the shops that were there when I worked in Notting Hill Gate are gone now; I used to have a wander about but I got to find it quite depressing so now I just come straight back, 52 or 148.

Sadly Aub that is true everywhere Here, every other shop is a coffee shop, barbers, or charity shop. Who would have thought there was enough money in coffee or haircutting to sustain higu street shops Here we have a lovely sunny morning so we shopped in advance of tomorrow which is forecast to be horrible

HI all: We were very lucky, it didn't look up to much when we set out but it came lovely on the coast. WE had brekky then shopped around for two hours then had lunch. More shopping then headed home, just got back and had to have the air con on all the way home. It was showing 20c but felt hot and clammy. I put all the towels on the line at 5am this morning and they are bone dry so it was worth doing. We have the new boiler coming tomorrow and the guy to measure for the doors and windows too. So it will be a quick nip to fill up with fuel a quick Latte and home to wait.

Today I'm going into the wastes of South London to try and find Bowie's Bandstand in Beckenham.
There's supposed to be a kind of festival there today (or tomorrow) but I don't have a ticket so I'll just go and come back, hopefully by another route (I might even get a tram).
It looks a bit chilly out though.

Been outside most of the afternoon, waxed the car, nice and shiny now. Very warm in the sunshine.

Aye, I notice the shops are selling Xmas cards too now. Lovely day again, but I'm busy indoors preparing for the plumber to install our new boiler.

Good afternoon. We must have had a lot of rain during the night as the ground is very sodden. It was raining at 7am and then sunshine after 11am. I haven't seen any Christmas cards in the shops yet but I have to confess to looking at linocut artists Christmas cards online . I am looking at wallpapers for part of my kitchen.
