• It’s snowing. Perfect excuse for Terminal 5 to dig itself a little deeper.
• Time to spare? Got an historical leaning? Osterley House needs you.
• We’ve got sea-horses. In the Thames Estuary. Which apparently proves that our river's cleaner than it has been for a long time.
• Londonist’s mind is all boggled. Try this for size - Britney as Blanche Dubois on the West End stage. There you go – now you’re boggled too.
• In the weekend crime round up (cross your fingers and touch wood) there are no stabbings for once, but a teenager has been shot in Walworth, and there’s been a murder in Hoxton.

And here’s what we think we will have learned by this time next week:

• That Boris and Brian have sown a few wild oats too. Allegedly….
  
• That Terminal 5 is to be shut for a week while the staff are re-booted and the computers retrained;
  
• That the London-Beijing issue is going to get worse before it gets better.

Have a good week. And don’t forget to wear a vest.
