The ice this morning seems to be slippery - almost "greasy" in a way. I saw (from afar) an elderly lady with a stick fall just on the corner outside Dulwich Library, and others skid. (She was all right and was tended to by passing teachers with a school group.)

Can ice take on different forms? The ice yesterday seemed thicker but "drier" and didn't cause me to skid (in the same shoes).

Ice is more slippery around 0 degrees (something to do with physics which I don't fully understand). Not so cold this morning.


Smooth flagstone paving in particular was quite dangerous this morning. I see the roads are gritted but not the pavements!


Edited to add - ice hockey article on fast and slow ice which explains more about the "slipperiness" https://www.exploratorium.edu/hockey/ice2.html

      It wasn't a rumour, the salon had closed when I posted here. Regarding the Post Office, as I said go and ask them.

      Dirty pool, Dulwich Leisure Centre

      By NewWave · Posted

      My annoyance Is with the fact that the gym is being closed for 5 weeks for refurbishment but we dont have an option to freeze our membership if the only facility we use is the gym. Apparently Peckham gym is closed at the same time for refurbishment which I think is pretty stupid. Therefore the nearest gym for all the members from ED leisure centre and Peckham leisurecentre is the one in Camberwell . I lament the everyone active days..at least I could attend gyms near to work and outside Southwark

      Those who live in the modern world can scan cheques on those little computers they keep in their pocket that also act as a phone.  If you can find a bank many will have devices to take money out and also scan cheques.  That said I haven't cashed one for years or written one even longer.  As far as I know the only use of cheques now is buying the Countryfile Calendar.
