Meet-ups: WEST LONDON MEET-UP THREAD - July 2007 - from Acton to Sunbury everybody welcome

[mellow2]

Brand new thread for July.

oooh, tell me more!

Foxie,

I checked the weather on weather.com and it looks like it's going to rain all week. Are you still planning on a picnic on Thursday? They're normally quite accurate.

TW8 weather

It's a 70s party for dh's work mate so full of hunky removal men (oh just what you need eh )

did someone say "lots of single men"?

oooh now that is exactly just what I need!

Sushi the weather wasn't really good enough for gherkin-kun to beach it. But he really really didn't like grass until a few weeks ago. Now its OK unless its wet in which case it is spawn of the devil again

I'm checking my source re Kew music Foxie will let you know asap.

Thanks Kew

Mellow - the BBc says "light showers" with blobs of sunshine so the answer to your question is "yes, I am planning to"...

Today was supposed to be rain all day and its been dry so far...

Can't make Cho San, I'm afraid -- normal babysitting avenues are unavailable on Tuesday.

OK, dd and I will be joining you then.

What would you like me to bring to the picnic? Any particular food or drink?

Mellow - how about if we all bring some lunch for ourselves plus one thing to share?

I'll bring Cava and Cake

and can you save some for me and I'll pick it up on the way home foxie?

Did you hear that girls: DON'T scoff the entire cake!!!!

Will try Kew - although we may still be in Kew at 4.30pm .....I may be too drunk to walk home

Hmm, should I bring Pimms and sandwiches?

Well, I thought that was the whole point.

No, that would be really irresponsible as I've got to take dd back on the bus.

You may end up on the wrong bus!

My sister was coming home from work one day and was really tired but remembered to get off the bus at Sainsbury's/ trouble is it was the wrong Sainsbury's! She stood there for a moment before she realised!

my new contact has confirmed no world music diaspora in Kew this year (in Hyde park instead). I am no longer The Woman Who Knows Everything I am The Woman Who Knows Nothing

on the upside I know have a new contact in Kew Gardens Information department

Is anyone still planning on doing the MN summer picnic in Hyde Park this Sunday?

I'd like to if the weather is good, but DS naps from around 1-3pm so would have to be say 11am to 1pm or post 3pm.

The weather doesn't look very proising unfortunately. I think I may give it amiss (will probably still be packing up the kitchen cupboards for the builders to start the next day).

promising

DH and I are having a chat about moving (within Kew). I found this house with 3/4 bed and a garage and sent a link to DH. He came back saying 'it's a town house!'. I never lived in a town house and don't really understand why he doesn't like it. What's wrong with town houses?

this only (possible) problem with them is they tend to be tall and thin with smaller rooms and often kitchen and living room on differnt floors. I would just look at whether you can afford it and whetehr you like it. Wouldn;t be a problem for me.

(have you won the lottery sushi?)
