Hello Possums, Happy New Year to one & all.
What a dismal wet Xmas it was, even our fairy leapt to her death from the top of the Xmas tree. The Churchillian spirit was well in evidence as the Legion was plunged into darkness on Xmas Eve, prompting a candlelit evening of imbibing and jollity. Who needs electricity? Anyone receive a sat-nav for Xmas? “Take the first turning on the right, straight on, at the top turn right, take the second turning on the left, you have now reached your destination, Halford’s cash desk”. I received an amazing exotic carnivorous plant for Xmas that turned out to be vegetarian; on Boxing day morning I discovered that it had eaten itself.
Following the death of Diane Manfriden of Iowa at the age of 115 years, Jiroeman KImura is now officially the World’s oldest person. He was born in Japan in 1897 whilst Queen Victoria was still on the throne. He attributes his longevity to the three S’s: Sushi, Saki and yes you’ve guessed it Sunshine. It’s a jolly good job he doesn’t live here. Continue Reading »

Back from the Yorkshire coast, our Weatherman in the Village says:
Somehow we managed to miss a week – but it wasn’t very eventful except for the seemingly continuous rain which made Christmas and New Year a bit of a soggy affair.
The outlook for the coming week is thankfully a bit drier, and the present mild temperatures look to continue until mid-week when the temperature is forecast to drop toward more normal levels with a chance of overnight frosts returning. Tuesday and Thursday look like being the days with the highest chance of rain.

As we enter our third week of no landline and have had numerous second rate excuses from BT, we were wondering if anyone else in the Blog area have lost their service – BT tell us ‘it is an extensive problem both nationally and locally’.
We are now on our fourth promised repair date, all in the last week and all unfulfilled.
Thanking you,
Jim T

Are you a student doing GCSE or A Level Art? We have a very large unused stretched canvas which is 50″ x 40″ free to anyone who can make use of it.
Best wishes,
Debbie Webster 390568
Update: The canvas now has a new home.

Very sadly, our final little gerbil died last year. We aren’t planning on any more small pets, and wondered if anyone would like the cage they lived in. It is a very large plastic tank with a double tiered caged area which clips on top. It is in perfect condition, and free to anyone who is either thinking about getting a gerbil or hamster or already has one but would like to upgrade the accommodation. We also have a smaller cage which we used when we cleaned out the big one, if anyone would like that.
Best wishes,
Debbie Webster 390568

Hi there,
Is anyone travelling to Derby on Friday the 4th in the morning? Allie and I wondered if we could grab a lift to the train station – we need to be there around 9:30 am or so.
Thanks,

Squeak has been missing since Thursday afternoon. She is a small black cat, with pointy features and a small white patch on her chest. She is timid and will run away when approached.
Please could you check your sheds/greenhouses/outhouses, in case she has been accidentally shut in.
If you see her, please could you contact Cheryl and Bob Woolley on 390617.
Update: Squeak has been found!

Hailed as one of the best films of the millennium, this silent movie, filmed in black & white, has taken the film world by storm.
It’s the late 1920s in Hollywood and handsome George Valentin is a silent movie idol, THE ARTIST. During the premiere of his latest film, Valentin meets Peppy Miller, a star-struck extra and aspiring actress. The two are attracted to each other and Peppy is given a small dancing role in his next picture. As their romance progresses, Valentin’s producer has to cope with a love-struck star who is distracted on the set, Peppy’s career begins to take off, and Valentin fears that a new fad in the movie business – talkies – will ruin him.

Commiserations to the Parwich households who have been affected by today’s power cut, which struck around lunch time. Repairs are currently taking place, with the aim of restoring power in time for Christmas Day.
Sadly, the lack of electricity means that Chris Hoolie will be unable to perform at the Legion tonight. However, the Legion is staying open: powered by candle light, and looking very picturesque with it! Meanwhile, The Sycamore still has full power.

Hello Possums, HO! HO! HO!
Thank you Jane for the one and only response: Good effort, but the answer is Badger, as he only has two legs. I can almost hear you screaming.
Well we are almost at the finishing line, not very seasonal weather, but we may just avoid a hosepipe ban next Summer!
Did you happen to read some of the pathetic excuses in the press recently given by people offloading unwanted pets? “He isn’t as cute as he was when he was a puppy; We have a new three piece suite and their colours clash; It breaks wind too much; It smells like a dog”, would you Adam & Eve it?

Our ‘Weatherman in the Village’ says:
Well it has been wet and really quite mild – especially on Saturday night when we saw an amazing 10.8˚C recorded just before midnight. Thankfully the next few days look like being a bit drier than the last few, but there will still be some rain on Monday. At the moment, Christmas day looks like it might be dry, brighter and a bit cooler with the odd shower, but absolutely no chance of a white Christmas this year.

This little fella seems very curious to us. Wonder if he’s met Parwich’s master photographer before?

You might have noticed that there has been a raindrop or two in our area over the last 24 hours. There are some pretty big pools of water on the roads so we advise taking extra care. There is a particularly big ‘puddle’ on the way out of the village just before the Ballidon turning that may be challenging for some cars.
Click on ‘Continue reading’ for more watery images.
