Enjoyed my one night stay
This motel is close to downtown Ottawa. It has been updated in a number of ways and is very comfortable. For the price, it is worth considering as an alternative to downtown Ottawa.

Lots of character in this hotel, from beams to exposed brick. Our room is large but cosy with comfortable furnishings and a small electric fireplace for atmosphere. Snacks and coffee are available in the inviting lounge off the foyer. We would definitely stay here again.

Goblins are twisted, evil counterparts of elves. It is said in myth and legend that the goblin race was created thousands of years ago by their diabolical master, the Dark Lord Amœdicus, who used the blackest of magic and either the corpses of dead elves or the soil in which they'd been buried to create an unholy, twisted, wretched mockery of natural life. Goblins tend to be smaller than humans, misshapen and ugly, with skin of dull gray or gray-green (sometimes sporting random patches of scales). Their eyes are either red and reptilian or yellow-green and catlike.
Goblins can see out to 90' in perfect darkness, but sunlight makes them nauseous and weak in the knees, imparting a −1 penalty to attack rolls for goblins forced to fight in daylight. They are known to ally with dire wolves, riding them as mounts. Goblins are not fond of men or any of the human-kindred races, but they positively despise elves.
In their own tongue, goblins call themselves rukh ("goblin") or rutcha-hai ("the goblin people"). Some goblins (marked by red eyes and scaly skin) are known as snaga-hai, and these seem to be low-class soldiers or slaves. They're said to be particularly aggressive and stupid, even by other goblins. (The word snaga also means "maggot" in the goblin-tongue.)
The goblin language is called Rukhish, with the commonest dialect being Arkhänian Rukhish. In this tongue, the goblins have plenty of nasty-sounding names for the other races, whom they hate: tarku (human), golug (elf), kuzdu (dwarf), urku (ogre), vok (gnome), and balaakh (a half-goblin, half-human hybrid).

Whether you are considering an associates degree, or a bachelor of business administration degree, your investment may pay off with a higher-paying job, or an in-house promotion.

There are a variety of approaches to project management. Critical chain management (CCPM) puts more emphasis on the resources required to execute tasks, while event chain methodology focuses on managing events that will affect scheduling. Regardless of the method you choose, the Small Business Administration advises listing out specific project objectives, create a working timeline of both materials and personnel, and monitor all required costs as the project proceeds. Project control means keeping on-track, on-time, and under budget.
A project manager, therefore, is responsible for determining project requirements, and managing all elements of the task. Project management software is available that will help to organize both yourself and your team. Depending on the sophistication of the software, it may include estimating and cost control, decision-making trees, and a workflow analysis. Over the course of any project, the requirements may change mid-stream, without prior notice. Changes can be the result of necessary design modifications, altered site conditions, material availability or lack thereof. Finally, a formal, compliance-based audit may be conducted by upper management after completion. Beyond major requirements within the business strategy department, you may consider SUNY Broome Community College incomplete policy as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

When people start talking about power of Mother Nature, all that they highlight is hurricane, storms, twisters, raging tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, and other natural disasters. This is where most of the people go wrong because Mother Nature's power does not mean just devastation and destruction. She also offers restorative and healing power that can help individuals to get back on the path of happiness and good health.
Therapies exist since several decades
Since several decades, psychologists and therapists are offering wilderness therapy that can help people to regain control of their life, overcome challenges, get rid of drug addiction, are recognize the real self hidden within. Several case-studies and research work presented by psychologists have proved the effectiveness of wilderness therapy programs. Research paper written by University of Idaho's Dr. Keith C. Russell was the first one to bring the effectiveness of such therapies in the limelight. The concerned paper was titled as "Why Wilderness Therapy Works." It was released in 2000 and also highlighted how such therapies were gaining popularity and racing ahead of other mental health related programs.
The United States saw the emergence of first such therapy program during 1950s when Europe's famous-Outward Bound-program was introduced in the country. Outdoor education and aspects of wilderness therapy were introduced under this program. Some people still criticize hard work and efforts that participants need to perform as part of the program. However, let's not forget that psychological benefits and noticeable emotional changes are clearly visible among participants after they complete their program. These therapies have changed lives of several individuals suffering from behavioral disorders and addiction to banned substances (substance abuse). From children to adults, wilderness therapy programs are suitable for almost everyone.
Helps individuals to recognize the inner self
Green spaces can not only reduce depression, but can also enhance creativity, enhance senses, and improve the power of imagination. Depending on the psychological condition of the participant, health expert would recommend suitable therapy. Most of the therapies also include camping, trekking, hiking, and other activities that can cause physical tiredness. If you are looking for organization that offers effective wilderness therapy programs designed to help individuals to get back to their normal life, you should check details for Anasazi Wilderness Program. Anasazi offers help to young adults as well as children. The Arizomna based organization's therapy providers are licensed and have several years of experience in managing such programs.

Customers say goodbye to landmark Phoenix restaurant
Bill Johnson's Big Apple, has been a Phoenix landmark since 1956.
"It used to be where the pavement ends, and the old west begins, so it was just their fashion, and their style, to serve some good BBQ, some good food, and great breakfast," said Randi Beswick, the general manager.
"By the time we lock the doors today, we will all be in tears," said Beswick.
Beswick calls the restaurant her second home. She's worked here for more than two decades. Last week she found out it would be closing.
"Basically it had some struggles and challenges financially, and in order to keep up with our standards we just can't do it anymore, we can't compete," she said.
She has many memories from working at the restaurant and learned of even more today.
"Somebody got proposed to, every anniversary is here, they raised their kids through these restaurants, they worked here when they went to school. We're hearing a lot of history and a lot of stories," said Beswick.
Linda Gannon is part of that history.
"I've been coming here since I was a little girl," said Linda Gannon.
She had to eat here one last time and order her favorite desert for old times sake.
"Quite often in the evening we would have the deep dish apple pie, and they would serve it with ice cream or cheddar cheese, and we always got the cheddar cheese," she said.
Beswick said the location would soon become a parking lot for Gateway Community College next door.
"Gateway bought it; they want to make it a parking lot," said Beswick.
"I almost cried, I thought driving down here and seeing a parking lot, it's just a shame, it really is," she said.
So on Sunday, the customers all soaked it in.
"A wait of an hour and ten minutes before customers can be seated and enjoy those homemade recipes, and memorabilia for the last time," said Beswick.
"This has been here for so long, and the food is so good, it's just a shame really," said a customer.
Beswick said she and her 27 employees made the best out of their last moments here at Bill Johnson's Big Apple.
The restaurant will be auctioning off some of the memorabilia that was inside, as well as the large "Bill Johnson's Big Apple," sign in the coming weeks.

APEGBC's Sea to Sky Branch has donated $3,000 to the APEGBC Foundation to fund its scholarships.
The APEGBC Foundation promotes education in engineering and geoscience by granting university entrance scholarships, college transfer scholarships, undergraduate engineering and geoscience scholarships, and student membership awards.
Mohammad Afsar, P.Eng., Branch Chair, said "Offering scholarships is one way to promote engineering and geoscience education to bright young minds who, in turn, make contributions as professional engineers and geoscientists for the betterment of society".
Thanks to the generosity of members, organizations and groups like the Sea to Sky Branch, the Foundation has awarded over $350,000 in undergraduate grants and scholarships since its inception in 1994. During 2005/2006 member donations totalled just over $41,000, allowing the Foundation to grant 34 awards to aspiring engineers and geoscientists.

Back to School
For many parents it's back to school this week, a time of mixed emotions. I'm sure that I am not alone in feeling a sense of relief (thank God I'm no longer responsible for them 24/7 or for organising who will be responsible for them 24/7), sadness (how the heck did they get this big? A minute ago I was wiping their bottom) and anxiety (how will they get on with their new teacher?).
The "Back to School" prep has all been done. This year, thanks to a last minute job application form that was due, the majority was delegated to Banker. For the first time, he braved John Lewis alone with the kids to battle over the last Size 3 Geox, AND he ironed on all the name labels on the new uniforms. This latter he did correctly this time as last year when he was assigned this task he spent an hour ironing on sticker name labels (used for books and pencil cases etc) rather than the iron-on name labels (used for clothing). They obviously didn't stick and I had an absolute barney as I had to repeat the task. This year all was done to standard, which goes to show that these parenting tasks need not be the preserve of mums (if we are happy to tolerate a hiccup or two)! All I did was get Lil Bro his back-to-school haircut and then they were set.
As soon as my kids saw their friends they were off without a backward glance.
I toddled off to the shops. It was with sadness that on my return from the shops, a good hour after the school bell had tolled that I saw a mum and her son outside the school gates. I heard a snapshot of their conversation "Just go in and talk to the others. It'll be fine." It occurred to me that for some families, "back-to-school" is not just a logistic nightmare of name labels, new shoes and haircuts, but a return to a battle-ground and heartache.
As an autism specialist, it is not uncommon for my clients to loathe school and in extremis to refuse to go to school. Anxiety is the most common co-morbidity in children with autism, and it is also the most common mental health problem in primary school aged children. So here are a few pointers on school refusal:
Try to find the cause for anxiety
- Encourage your child to feel safe to talk to you about their problems. This requires a non-judgemental attitude and a guarantee of confidence and that they will not get into trouble. They will also need to know that they will be taken seriously, and that you will have the resources and strength to help them. Many children I see in clinic do not disclose bullying to parents as "it will worry them", "they won't believe me", "they will only confront the situation and make it worse" or "they won't be able to do anything".
- Often it is not sufficient to ask your child why they will not/ do not want to go to school. Persistent badgering on this question may cause more harm than good if it is not forthcoming given encouragement. Sometimes your child may not fully understand their own emotions or the cause of their emotions and therefore cannot tell you even if they wanted to. In this instance, it is up to you to speak to teachers and friends and come up with your best guesses. Discuss these hunches with your child in a non-judgemental way: "If I were in your shoes, I'd be a little scared of your new teacher…" and see whether any of them chime with your child. This is a favourite child psychiatrist strategy of mine as usually one of your guesses will be correct and when you see a child's face respond to you verbalising their darkest emotions, you can tell that you've got to the heart of it and work can begin.
If you find a cause then dealing with the cause will be your next step. Some common causes for school refusal in primary aged children are:
- bullying/ social ostracisation by peers
- bullying/ fear of a teacher/ fear of being told off
- anxiety about a particular subject: fear of failure in an academic subject, fear of being ridiculed in P.E.
- anxiety about leaving the parent (separation anxiety) for fear something may happen to the parent.
Sometimes, there is no one-single cause and anxiety may be generalised or the sum of minor anxieties that can overwhelm. Working through each one, however minor, can be important.
Dealing with the cause should always involve:
- Working together with the school. The natural parental instinct is to do your utmost to protect your child which can mean confronting the school staff or the parents of other children. Try to stay calm and keep an even head – whatever happens, getting other parents and teachers on side will lead to better outcomes for your child than making adversaries.
- Supporting your child. As well as in relation to the identified cause, increasing your child's self-esteem, resilience and social skills will always help.
Avoid pitfalls:
- Sometimes, parents will allow children to stay off school due to school refusal. It is important to remember that this can inadvertently encourage problems as you are in effect teaching your child that crying and fussing will lead to a day off school. Sometimes it is impossible to get a child into school, but if this is the case, then schoolwork should be done at home rather than a pleasurable day at home watching TV and playing computer games. An incredibly boring or taxing day of chores at home may lead some children to the conclusion that school is preferable!
- If at all possible, get children back into school as quickly as possible because the longer that they are off school, the harder it will be to get them back.
Make Time For Your Dreams
In September 2013, after a prolonged period of doubting, mental deliberation and build-up, I ventured on-line and bought myself a domain name: Shrinkgrowskids.com. It was meant to keep me busy while the children were in school because finding employment in school hours only is impossible. I psyched myself up. I was about to start writing when the following happened:
- my daughter broke her leg (she was 6 years old and too little to use crutches. We have a typical Victorian townhouse on 3 floors. She needed hoisting everywhere. I put my back out)
- my dad got diagnosed with cancer (thankfully now in remission)
- my son had terrible allergies to a list of over 20 food items
There were a lot of hospital appointments. The blog got put on the back-burner. Life's never easy and there is always an excuse NOT to do something.
I'm glad that I persisted.
In January 2014, I finally got the chance to sit down and blog and this led on some 3 years later to the publication of my book last month. So I wanted to share the following with you:
Remember your dreams and make time to make them happen!
Here's a little taster from the intro of my book:
Oh, for pity's sake!' I silently cursed.
I had timed the nursery run to a tee and for once we were actually on schedule – until my three-year-old daughter, Molly, realized that her new shoes did not have her name label in them. Disaster! I tried to persuade her that this would be fine for one day and promised to stick the labels in that night; I explained that I couldn't do it there and then because we would be late for her nursery (and, more importantly, I would be late for a meeting I was due to chair). But Molly out and out refused to see reason.
So I tried cajoling, then bribing, then threatening her. All to no avail. Ultimately I gave in, impatiently got the name labels and grumpily stuck them in her shoes. But by then it was too late. Molly was digging her heels in and her anger wasn't just about the shoes anymore, but had become an incoherent fury with the world in general. And she was still refusing to put on her shoes. There followed more shouting, this time from me, along the lines of, 'Now I'm going to be late!' Reciprocal shouting and foot stamping from Molly ensued, until I realized that physically picking her up, bundling her under my arm and forcibly depositing her in the car was the only way I was going to get anywhere that day.
This was no mean feat. Picture me shuffling sheepishly down the road to the car, praying not to encounter any of my neighbours, Molly tucked under my arm like a log, kicking and screaming, with no shoes on. Simultaneously, my eighteen-month- old son D (Chinese for little brother, which is what we've always called him), was clinging on to me like an oversized pendant, his arms wrapped tightly around my neck. Assorted nursery-required paraphernalia was haphazardly piled into two bags, which weighed down so heavily on my elbows that they were cutting off the circulation to my fingers, from which dangled the contentious shoes. I must have resembled a demented rag and bone woman with my assorted wares hanging all over me. Meanwhile, Molly's ongoing high-pitched wails of, 'You're hurting me!' advertised our approach to everyone in the neighbourhood.
It was on that day of model motherhood that I decided I should write a book about parenting. If this seems perverse, I haven't even confessed the funniest part of the story yet. About an hour after that little episode, I finally took my seat at the meeting. There I sat, solemnly discussing the effects that 'compromised parenting' has on the mental health of children. Believe me, the irony was not lost on me.
You see, I am a child psychiatrist. Handling Molly's meltdown should have been second nature to me, but it wasn't. After this humiliating escapade, I started to write down the more ridiculous of my parenting moments, because on one level they intrigued me: 'Surely a child psychiatrist should know better?' I kept asking myself.
Before having children I probably considered myself some-thing of a 'parenting expert'. I doled out parenting advice to parents like hot dinners and wore my, 'I know about parenting; I'm a child psychiatrist y'know' badge with pride. It was only when I actually became a parent that I woke up to the humbling reality that there is no such thing as a 'parenting expert'. Parenting is, in essence, often a process of mainly well-intentioned trial and error. The well-intentioned part is important because in recent times parents have been taking their role in their children's development much more seriously. We've come a long way from the days when children were seen and not heard; when it was fairly common for them to be farmed out to wet nurses, governesses or boarding school at one end of the social spectrum, or sent up a chimney at the other. We now know that leaving the administration of parenting to others means potentially leaving the outcomes
Indeed, sometimes it seems we have gone to the other extreme; there has been such a seismic shift in our attitudes towards parenting. Rather than abdicating responsibility for our children, or being ambivalent, we now have an almost obsessive preoccupation with them. I like to think that this is because my profession has done such a great job at promoting the importance of loving and understanding our children, though cynics might argue that it has more to do with the fact that most of us can no longer afford nannies, governesses or boarding schools. Whatever the reasons, there is no doubt that there is now a genuine interest in giving our children the best possible start in life.
Talking to My Children About Terrorist Attacks
I, like the rest of the country have been left dumbfounded by the cruelty of a terror attack targeting children and their parents. Of course, this is no more tragic than the bombs being dropped on hospitals and schools in Syria or elderly window cleaners being mown down on Westminster bridge, but it is a natural and human tendency to feel more empathy when the people involved are "just like you and your family". The eight-year old girl that died, could have been Big Sis, the mum's chatting outside waiting to pick up their children could have been me and my friends. Maybe it's this that makes me feel it more this time around.
I asked Big Sis and Lil Bro if their teachers had mentioned the recent news at school. They had not. I wondered for a while if I should talk to the children about it. They were blissfully unaware that anything out of the ordinary had happened and I could have left it that way. Why let the world intrude on a "safe and idyllic" childhood living in a fortunate part of London?
Yet I decided not to stay quiet and here's why:
- Children do not live in a bubble and sooner or later the outside world beyond a loving home and sheltered school will impinge on them. As much as we parents want to shelter our children from hurt; hurt is an inevitable part of life. Children who are shielded from hurt never learn to manage their negative emotions so that when inevitably, they get hurt, they are less well equipped to cope. Better to gently expose children to reality and teach children to manage their emotions.
- Children will become adults sooner than we think and need to have socio-political views of their own. There is talk of extending voting age to include 16 year olds: de facto: children. Whilst the children are young and I have an influence on my children's opinions, I would like to pass on my ideals of openness, fairness and love so that they are entrenched before the likes of unknown peers and uncensored media get a hold of them. I felt that this terrorist attack was a marker event, so significant that they needed to know about and understand it, to shape their opinions for later life.
But what could I say? No medical degree or child psychiatry training teaches you this. In this, like so many other aspects of parenting, I am like any other parent: a novice. Here's how I tried my best:
I told them that something terrible had happened in Manchester and we found the BBC Newsround clip together on iPlayer. We watched it together. A good quality children's news program can convey facts in a way that children will understand and also be counted upon not to shock or overly upset the average child, so this is a good place to start.
I asked the children what they thought about it and I answered their questions.
Big Sis: What is a terrorist?
Me: It's a person that does things to frighten other people so that the frightened people will do what they tell them to do.
Big Sis: Is it like a bully?
Me: Yes, I suppose so. They frighten people to get their own way or to make other people angry to start a war.
Big Sis: Why would anyone want to start a war?
Me: Well there are already lots of wars going on around the world. We are just lucky that we live in a country that's safe right now.
Big Sis: Why can't people just stop fighting?
Me: It's easier said than done! Why can't you and your brother stop fighting?
Big Sis [Hmm – recognising this is a tricky]: Well, we should just kill all the terrorists.
Me: It's more complicated than that. Killing people just upsets more people and often leads to more death. I don't have all the right answers, but it usually doesn't involve more death.
Big Sis: What should we do then?
Me: I think we must just help the people that got hurt, remember the people that died and carry on with our lives. We can't let bullies scare us into giving in or feeling anger and hate, because this is what they would want. Maybe it can help us all feel grateful to be alive and for what we have.
Lil Bro: Will a terrorist come and bomb us?
Me: I hope not, but we live in London so I can't say for sure. What I can say is that I have lived for over 40 years and haven't been hurt by a terrorist yet, so the chances are really low. It's natural to feel a little bit upset and worried, everyone does – even me, but if we let it stop us doing what we enjoy doing then the terrorists have won. So we need to be strong and ignore them.
This was getting rather depressing and I was running out of things to say, so I was really surprised but pleased that out of the mouths of babes can come heart-warming positivity:
Lil Bro: At least they died happy.
Me: Huh?
Lil Bro: They went to see an Arianna Grande concert and had a good time. The last thing that the people that died felt: was happy.
- Don't be afraid to tell the truth to children
- Use language children will understand
- Avoid unnecessary graphic and frightening details
- Acknowledge that fear is normal
- Encourage talking about fear rather than suppressing it
- Model a good sense of the risks: don't get overly worried yourself
- Offer realistic reassurance
- Model a "carry on" attitude
- Continue to spread love not hate
And, if you can, find a glimmer of hope.
If you are lucky like me, your children may find the positive for you.
It's here! Inside Out Parenting
Sorry for the radio silence, but life has been pretty hectic the last few months to say the least. I have been interviewed by The Times, Country Walking and writing articles for The Telegraph and Daily Mail on-line sites. Crazy. Today a long-held dream has become reality and my little book, which came about from this blog, has hit the bookshops. When I paid my £60 to register this blog domain, little did I imagine that all this would be possible.
This morning after dropping off the children at school, I made a solitary trip to the local bookstore and headed to the parenting section where I have hung out quite a lot in the last few years. My only previous publication was a Chapter in a textbook so specialised that you had to order it on-line, so it was a very strange idea that I could go into a bookshop and see my book on the shelf. I didn't really believe that I would find it, but there it was….
Thank you so much to all the lovely people that have followed or read my blog. I do hope that now the hard work is done on the book that I will be back on the blog site again! I have missed Big Sis, Lil Bro and Banker, not least because they are transformed into Molly, D and Andrew in the book. Since writing the book, so much has happened and the children are no longer little anymore! I'm really looking forward to sharing the next adventures in parenting with you : Lil Bro is sitting his KS1 SATS and I am forming an excel spreadsheet of secondary schools for Big Sis – where did the time go?
If you have liked my site, please look out for my book: it may be tucked away somewhere next to books on potty training! – (I confess to having spent half an hour rearranging the shelves at my local Waterstones to get that photo above – at least I was decent enough not to sneak it widthways over Giovanna Fletcher).
Thank you again for supporting my blog. I could have not done this without you!
Public Library to Publishing
Around this time 2 years ago I ventured into the public library. The library has always seemed to me a calm and comforting place where natural introverts like me can hide without need for social interaction. I have fond memories of public libraries from my childhood.
- My parents did not have much money for books when I was young and so it became a Saturday ritual to take us to the local library. My sisters and I delighted in the weekly routine of 4 books in and 4 books out. The sitting with a pile of books on the library floor to make the book selection was as much fun as the devouring at bed time. Decisions were critical of course as it could never be guaranteed that a book cast away could ever be found again in the bowels of the public library system. I conjured up images of the child that never returned the book that I had set aside for next week. I remember tittering as my precocious sister stole into the forbidden adult library to feed on the minds of Austen, Bronte and yes, Mills & Boon.
- As I grew older, the library routine became an independent journey. There was a Mobile Library that parked on the next road from my house. Come rain or shine, the humble little van would open it's doors to a wonderful and shifting collection of books rammed onto wooden shelves that seemed to be hewn from the very carcass of the van. It's purpose? To open my mind. Here I discovered childhood favourites from Roald Dahl and Enid Blyton to Paula Danziger, Judy Blume (who can forget Ralph?), Robert Cormier and S.E. Hinton. From books I spent a childhood learning and yearning to be British and the teenage years aspiring to be American. 2016 has made both youthful aspirations rather less enticing, but I think the core of what I mean still stands: books shape opinions, identities and lives.
- As an adult, sadly the enjoyable public library routines of old fell away to being buried in book stacks of University Libraries. The "downstairs" of the Institute of Psychiatry (IOP) library was in my day a pleasure. Hidden away, accessed by spiral staircase is a room with more books than space where one had to churn a handle to move whole bookcases in order to squeeze between the shelves to retrieve the required tome. It's fortunate that it was almost always devoid of people, because the one occasion where the bookcase started to move while I was trapped in between stacks brought back Star Wars style nightmares of being crushed by advancing walls. It always impressed me that amongst those books were the first clumsy descriptions of Down's Syndrome, Schizophrenia and Autism. The pleasantly eerie bolt-hole had an atmosphere that's hard to recreate. Sadly, it's all gone now, and the IOP library – like most things – has "gone digital" and now resembles an Apple Store.
A return to the public library was heralded by having children of my own. Although not quite up to the organisation of weekly visits, the public library is a space that my children know and enjoy. Helped by lack of overdue fees on children's books and Drop-Back boxes for books, sporadic and opportunistic visits to the library are possible. My children, like me before them enjoy the rummage and many of their favourite picture books were bent and battered copies of random and obscure books (for instance one about a girl called Tina and an alligator that trips on soap while doing the Tango and falls down the toilet) bought for 20p from the Library rejects sell-off bins. While the children explored and tried to hack into the library computers, I would wander to the parenting section.
During this particular library visit 2 years ago though, I wasn't exploring the parenting shelves, I was asking the man behind the desk for the little red book – "The Writers and Artist's Yearbook 2014". The Writers and Artist's Yearbook is an agency listing for budding writers and artists.
I had decided to take the plunge. I scoured the book for agencies interested in non-fiction and parenting. I took down the emails. I went home and I sent out my story.
I had been here 2 years earlier for the same reason. I had written the beginnings of a manuscript about my childhood and it's influence on my parenting. I had pored through the agency listings and sent off my manuscript to 5 agencies. I was rejected by all of them, although one had nice things to say. It wasn't easy to think about going through this process of rejection again, but since the first round of submission, I had started the blog and was warmed by the people that had responded to my writing. Friends and acquaintances would stop me and say "I liked your last blog" or "my wife reads your blog" which was a real encouragement. Also, as I had nothing better to do at the time (as high flying work-places dislike women with young children), there was nothing to lose. Sometimes it takes having no easy option available to force us to take a risk.
And so it came that a lovely young mother connected with my story and agreed to become my agent, followed a year later by another lovely mother offering to be my publisher.
And that's how I got to meet proper writers: Russell Brand, Joe Wicks, Jack Monroe, Leah Garwood-Gowers, Daisy Kristiansen, Laura James and Eleanor Morgan and pitch with them to media and retailers our books that will be released by Bluebird Books (Pan Macmillan) in 2017.
For those that harbour manuscripts (I know at least one-friend) – please send them out – it really does happen! And if you can, pop in to your local library. Without us they have been closing up and down the country and with their closure the door and mind-opening opportunities for many children.
VaNITy Case
Now that the children are a little older, I am finding that I finally have time to look in the mirror. This is a very depressing past-time as over the last 9 years, I appear to have aged 90 years. Bags under the eyes, lines traversing the face, spare tyre around the tummy and plenty of black hair turned grey! Some of these aspects I find acceptable (crows feet while not exactly welcome, are a sign of a life spent smiling) or readily remedied (thanks L'Oreal) – and I may finally get to claw back some benefit from that under-utilised gym membership. What I found very frightening was to see the piles of dyed black hair clogging up the plug hole of my bath every time I washed my hair. Hair-loss – extremely frightening. There was definitely a bit at my hairline which looked thinner than previously and I started to find the jokes that I had made about my husband's retreating hairline less amusing. (When he had denied any hair loss, I had told him that he should tattoo his hairline and then we would have physical evidence of whether or not he was receding – funny I thought at the time, not so funny now that I am suffering the same fate!).
So when I next trotted off to the hair salon to get a hair cut; I wow-ed at the massive poster in the window which promised "Thicker, fuller hair could be yours" with a whole new product range targeted at thinning hair. Even for evidence-based scientists, rationality goes out the window when faced with fear and the potential of hope, however unlikely. The hairdresser was kind enough to doubt my need for the product but was only too happy to sell me the entire range given my disposition. He warned me "It works on your scalp so if you feel it tingling on your scalp, you'll know it's working."
Over the next two weeks, I diligently used the entire product range, and indeed, soon after I felt a tingling on my scalp. "Ooh, I can really feel it working!" I thought to myself and liberally applied more product. The tingling got stronger. I inspected my hair daily. "Hmm" I thought to myself, my hair is looking fuller. More product slapping. Hang about, this product is starting to itch more than tingle now. That must be a sign of all the new hairs that are sprouting out of my scalp, because I know that when new hairs grow they can sometimes itch. More product. What fabulous hair I now have, well worth the itch because as everyone knows: "you must suffer for beauty".
A week later, I was clearing out the detritus of school letters and notes that had formed at the bottom of Big Sis's school bag. Oops, I have not yet paid the school dinner money. Thank goodness, I am in time to give permission to a school trip.
Then, I saw it and the penny dropped.
"There has been an outbreak of nits in your child's class".
It was quite something other than new-age, hair-growing potion that had been working on my scalp and my vain mis-belief had led me to tolerate it blindly!
For the next 3 weeks instead of gentle, herbal, hair-regeneration and scalp renewal product, I was in the chemist hoarding chemical agents, the more toxic the better. None of the homeopathic agents for me, I was for all-out chemical warfare and instead of wishing for hair growth, I was happily pulling out my own hair with a fine toothed nit comb shouting "Out damn nits!"
Vanity really doesn't pay.
Half term without the other half
This half term I am braving the entire week with the kids without the other half.
Despite working 8am-8pm most days, Banker declared he also has to work the half term. I have recently come to the conclusion that the term "working class" to mean a low-waged worker (previously miner or factory worker, but more latterly I'm presuming a tele-marketer or warehouse picker) is now a total misnomer because, let's face it, only a very few landed gentry or Russians these days don't work, and the majority of wealthy (rather than Über-rich) people are putting the hours in. Why don't we update the nomenclature and call a spade a spade? The "Well-renumerated" class and the "Poorly-Renumerated" class; or the overpaid and the exploited classes?
Previously I have taken the kids for 2 days to Brighton by myself and last Summer I took the kids around New York by day by myself but this is the first full 5 days/ 4 nights. I know this is completely wimpy because single parents, widows and widowers do this sort of thing all the time, but hey, I AM A WIMP.
Softening the blow, I decided to check into a luxury family Hotel: The Ickworth Hotel, near Bury St Edmunds. This was a second choice: luxury hotels these days being cheaper (£290 per night including breakfast and adult's dinner) than Centre Parcs (£390 a night self-catering) which I found surprising. The economy I think is gained by ditching the husband, as in a hotel a family of three takes up only a double room with extra camp bed wheeled in, while Centre Parcs caters strictly to your average family of 4 so you in effect pay for an empty bed if going it alone.
Ickworth was a known entity as my family have stayed here before, albeit the last time Big Sis was in nappies, Lil Bro was on the breast and I was on the Tena Ladies. Then it was all – "Wow, this hotel room has a nappy bin and access to a microwave to heat up Ella's kitchen pouches" and "Thank God, the staff appear unconcerned that my kid is head butting the antique furniture with a bucket on her head". So how does this hotel that markets itself to families, particularly of young children fare for a 7 year old, 9 year old and 40-something year old?
We had a small family room: a double bed and an extra camp bed rolled in. Not spacious, but perfectly adequate as we were certainly going to spend most of the day outside anyway. Décor is all old furniture upcycled with modern fabrics: so appropriately country house but grand enough to give city kids a bit of a Wow factor. Not quite the on-trend Babington House, but that's also reflected in the price tag so I am not complaining. No mini fridge which was a bummer because I had to stash the pork pies I'd bought for lunches (not included in the room tariff) in the sock drawer instead.
The Reception staff are friendly to children and when I couldn't get the DVD player to work, they sent a nice man around: "You need to plug the DVD player into the TV" – oops.
Food can be taken in the Conservatory for families or in the Candlelit fine dining setting for those that choose to use the Baby Listening Service or on-site babysitters. There is also a High Tea available for toddlers, but we tried this last time we came and I can only describe it as hell. Imagine 10 sleep deprived families each trying desperately to feed babies and toddlers at the same time, with anxiety heightened by the fact that this is "THE relaxing, couple bonding holiday" and the baby-sitter and romantic candlelit dinner has been booked so the baby has to be well fed and asleep in 30 minutes flat come hell or high water. Yeah, that kind of vibe. Thankfully this time, I could go for the Conservatory option. The food is average to good, but the menu stayed unchanged all week so I ate pretty much everything on the menu. Portions are rather huge so the kids were able to share my rather generous nightly 3 course allowance.
Prepare to be Bodened and mini-Bodened. Yes, this is Boden central. If blond kids, check collared shirts and bright cords are not your scene then forget about it. I have the resilience of a stubborn pig so feel not the social pressure, but in the week of people watching I saw only one Black British family venture nervously forth into the Conservatory in their trendy leisure wear and they never returned. Towards the end of the week, a couple of Asian families that had drunk from the Boden cool-aid trough appeared; as did my doppelganger:
Big Sis: Ooh look mum, there's a lady like you. She's Chinese but married to a white guy.
Blegh. I am now a cliché.
The ethos is strictly "conventional family" and I noted that I was the only lone parent there in a week. I imagined the other parents looking sadly over at our table for 3 wondering about the death or divorce that had befallen me. "And since our Papa died, we can't afford Boden clothing any longer…"
One of the attractions of the hotel was the availability of on-site facilities for kids. A literal stable full of bikes and bike helmets meant we didn't need the pfaff of bringing all our kit up with us, and a navigable, traffic-free country park within which city kids wobbly on their wheels, could safely practice in was ideal for us. An on-site swimming pool heated to the temperature of "warm-bath" is also within flip-flopping distance. Not quite the full on tidal pool and water slides of Centre Parcs, but in the morning and at lunchtimes, it's possible to get the whole pool to ourselves which at half term is a luxury. Tennis courts, trampolines, croquet and football are all available, as well as a bank of family board games to play in the perfectly crafted "homely lounges" available. Unfortunately, they are all packed in the late afternoons, but hey, it is half term. The kids and I hole up in our room to play scrabble. I make them promise not to cry if I win. Yes, I am that mean mother that won't let her children win at Scrabble. Cards, chess, Monopoly, sure – but there is no messing about in Scrabble.
The basement hosts kids craft activities and a games room where my tech-deprived two slink off to from time to time to play Wii Bowling and Air Hockey. They befriend a kid who spends the day in his Boden pyjamas; such is the "home away from home" feel of the place. In the evenings there is a cinema, but there were no adults there so I felt a bit of a spare part wandering about my room while my kids watched the movie. Yes, when you finally get rid of the darn kids, you end up moping for them. If Banker were with me, we could've hit the bar, but as it was it was kind of lonesome. The rest of the week we opt for borrowing family-friendly DVDs (Harry Potter, Cool Runnings) from the hotel to cuddle up and watch in our room.
Day Outings:
On day 1, we ventured out for some "educational activity". As a Chinese parent, going on holiday without at least one "educational outing" can induce stomach cramps and nausea, so it is best to get it out of the way first thing so that you can breathe a little easier the rest of the holiday. I choose West Stow Saxon Village. It's basically a couple of mock-Saxon out buildings strewn with what I presume are volunteers dressed in mock Saxon garb pretending to be Saxons. There are some ladies moulding mud to make a Saxon oven, another lady crocheting some Saxon cloth and another whittling wood. There are a couple of teenage boys pretending to be Smithies banging away on bits of B&Q iron attempting to make an iron dragonfly. Lil Bro is fascinated by this and keeps returning to check on the progress of the dragonfly. After 3 hours they have basically twisted one piece of iron and hammered out 2 feet. At the last return they've shut up shop and are eating Tesco's finest buttered raisin toast in Saxon garb. There's also a child friendly museum where kids (and adults) can also dress in Saxon garb, don a Saxon helmet and look at remains of artefacts that were actually dug up at West Stow. Quite cool except that it brings on lectures from Big Sis regarding the Neolithic and Mesolithic periods and all about querning which they have apparently been learning about at school. Quite the Hermoine Granger our Bis Sis, fantastic yet also slightly wearing. When I had thought about an "educational outing" I had meant educational for them, not for me! I bundle them off to some archery activity just in time as Big Sis looking up at the clouds says "Ooh, look at the Stratus clouds Mummy – we've been learning about cloud formations at school…"
On Day 4, I pack both kids off to Barrow Farm Stables (a 20 minute drive away) for a "Pony Experience" day. Sadly Lil Bro is the only boy (why can't boys do ponies?) but they both seem to enjoy themselves, and this time, no moping about for me as I have booked myself in for treatments at the hotel's spa. Yipee.
On our final day, we will visit Ickworth House, the National Trust Property next door to the hotel. Hotel guests get free entry and there are family friendly Halloween activities on, so that's a good bonus. We'll finish off on afternoon tea then head back to London.
The Children's verdict
The kids have had a blast. They are requesting to come back again next half term. "The people here and the other children are all so nice"; and it turns out that the kid in Boden pyjamas had asked my kids the question that all adults wondered but never dared ask:
"Is your dad dead?"
Big Sis: No, he's working in London.
Back to life…but not as I know it
Whoop whoop!
Yes! The kids are finally back at school and the extracurricular circus is almost organised. For those sensible enough to avoid enrolling children into a hundred and one activities, I salute you – because really, the logistics are too much! Having been rather gung-ho on the extra-curricular clubs when Big Sis and Lil Bro were little, I am now paying the price. The plan had been to shove them into as many classes as possible during the 3 days that I work and grandma looks after them. This was a vain attempt to stop said grandma allowing them to veg on her couch watching Power Rangers Dino Charge and feeding them chocolate and hand peeled grapes like mini Romans for 3 hours each day. Instead, they were taken to some life-skill enhancing activity: ballet/ street-dance/ swimming/ tennis/ football/ chess before 2 hours of grandma allowing them to veg on her couch watching Power Rangers Dino Charge and feeding them chocolate and hand peeled grapes like mini Romans. Don't ask me how come my beloved mother who locked me in my room until I could recite my times-tables at the age of 5 years, and who I had been counting on to knock some discipline into my kids has transformed into dobby the house elf.
Anyhoo, the unforseen pig of it all is that as the kids get older, the darn things get better at their life-enhancing skills and progress to different classes which are now OUTSIDE my 3 working days and the kids are back watching Power Rangers Dino Charge and being fed chocolate and hand peeled grapes like mini Romans on my work days, while I am left slogging them to ballet/ street-dance/ swimming/ tennis/ football/ chess on days when I am in charge. Don't even ask about the crazy timetabling because Big Sis's swimming now clashes with Lil Bro's street dance, and I have to fathom if logistically I can get from the piano teacher to the swimming pool in 10 minutes…(I'm thinking potentially possible if Big Sis plays piano in her swimming costume). Man it sucks.
The good news is that not only has daily life returned after the chaos of the holidays because the kids are back in their school routine again, but my blogging life has returned – (Yay!). I'm hoping that some of you may have missed me (yes – I am talking to you dear sister) and will pick back up where we left off for the fortnightly Friday blogs.
In explanation of my long absence, I am pleased to say that much fun was had the last 6 months indulging the fantastic and unreal opportunity to pen a parenting book. Bluebird, the life-style imprint behind the lovely Joe Wicks and his midget trees have backed and bought my story. Thank You! I am so looking forward to this crazy new journey which is a world away from cutting NHS waiting times.
They say that there is a book in all of us and many people harbour a dream of writing a book. Many of us have half written manuscripts in our dusty drawers or notebooks and hard drives of half-formed ideas. For decades I was one of them. My aged computer still contains very early drafts of a parenting book that I had the audacity to pen before even having children. Needless to say, these naïve and sentimental ponderings were a pile of crap and if the me of today had encountered the me of then, I'd have spared no hesitation in giving myself a tight slap and saying: "Have you ever met a child you twat?" Although I don't think that you need to be a parent to give advice on parenting, an ounce of realism helps.
And so it turns out that although having children was the nail in the coffin of my treadmill professional career, being chucked off the treadmill gave me time and opportunity to explore other areas of myself and take a chance on an old and buried dream. It was the beginning of this new journey. What has been a heartening realisation is that while my having children was seen by my traditional profession as a weakness, for my writing it has been my greatest strength. I can only encourage others that if ever you fail because of a "weakness", just change the story and it may turn out that your "weakness" is your greatest strength.
And if you have a dusty notebook or neglected files on your hard drive, maybe it's time to have another look…
Star of the Day One-Up-Manship
Your kid has been a fab goody-two-shoes at school – so what better reward than the "Star of the Day" prize of a germ-infested, grime-encrusted, soft toy to bring home? This cuddly is passed around from child to child on a daily basis, and if what my children do with it (kiss, cuddle, canoodle, throw about the place and sleep with) is indicative of what every child does with it, then I am pretty sure that if Pip the Panda were an adult human, he'd be harbouring every venereal disease going. Not only are we supposed to harbour this bacterial contagion, but we are supposed to show it a good time and document the good times had to be shared with the rest of the class, and more importantly, the rest of the class's parents in a book that gets handed around.
This has led to what I term "Star of the Day One-Up-Manship". Pip has been to Disneyland Paris a few times, weekends away in the Cotswolds, holiday homes in Suffolk and has even met the "Housekeepers" of my children's classmates. I love it as you can peer into the lives of others without being caught out as "nosy", although of course other parents are acutely aware that their entries will be inspected and the entries have a social media gloss: the children are always smiling, they've always done something interesting and it's all happy days. No one is writing: I went home. I watched TV. I ate junk food. I delayed getting into the bath until my mother screamed at me like a psycho.
In a mini-rebellious streak, I thought about taking Pip to the pub, plying him with alcohol and cigarettes and documenting his "Ted" like night out on the town, returning him to Reception smelling of lager and fag-ash. Sadly, I wimped out. So instead, I photo-shopped him into old travel snaps with Lil Bro in tow.
"After school, we climbed to Machu Picchu, deep water dived, explored the temples of Angkor Watt and visited my mother in China"
Lil Bro enjoyed the dressing up and we could spend the rest of the weekend watching TV and eating junk food instead of taking pictures of us eating super foods and doing healthy exercise in our very well-decorated home. The best thing was that the Reception kids who have no idea of Geography actually believed that this was an accurate depiction of life chez Lil Bro. Too cute.
Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes…
It's Christmas morning and the tree is adorned with coloured lights and decorations. The breakfast table is set with Panettone and tea, and oysters sit at the sink in preparation for lunch. We are back in the French countryside with my in-laws, settling into what is likely to be the last Christmas in rural France, as my in-laws are soon to be down-sizing and giving up the idyllic life in their rustic farmhouse of over 20 years.
But something is rather off.
This year, Father Christmas has not arrived and there is only one present each for the children beneath the tree from the grandparents. Lil Bro is wearing Granny's old t-shirt unadorned with trousers or the like, above which he is wearing great granny's cardigan such that the sleeves overwhelm his arms in the manner of a vampire bat. The look is evermore preposterous as he is intent on running around flapping his sleeves so that they whip his back in the manner of self-flagellation. His bare skinny legs protrude beneath, drawing attention due to their perpetual motion. Big Sis sits curled-up cat-like in a nightie of unknown provenance that comes down to her ankles, on the lap of her father who is sporting a pair of flowery shorts from his adolescence.
This year, I have felt moved by the plight of Syrian refugees, sick children, evils of capitalist excess and humans as the cause of climate change that we have embarked on a sinless Christmas where we reject commercialism and think about the true meaning of Christmas. As such, there will be no presents, no decadent wrapping paper and Santa Claus will not call. We have chosen to think of those less fortunate than ourselves and donate all the children's presents to charity.
Don't be daft! I'm a shrink not a saint!
Rather, let me fill you in on the ridiculous antics of the night before. Having spent days meticulously ordering gifts from Amazon, and further more days sitting at home to try and receive said ordered gifts from Amazon, and further days puzzle-piecing boxes and boxes of gifts into big black suitcases, and coaxing Big Sis to help reassure Lil Bro that Santa is very clever and will find us in France (Big Sis has figured out about Santa – but that's another story); we were finally set and ready to go.
Bundled off we went with 3 large laden cases full of paraphernalia, eyes bright in anticipation for a calm and restful Christmas and a short sojourn of skiing thereafter. Because of the mass of our present haul and the multitude of "essential skiing gear", I whittled down my own belongings to a small wheelie case, pathetic amongst the other large ones. Little had we anticipated the disaster encountered at London Bridge when 2 trains to Gatwick were cancelled. Never fear, Uber is here. A cab was called and disaster was averted by a knight in shining Mercedes that pulled up some 8 minutes later.
The children and I crammed into the back seat and promptly fell asleep after the excitement of the morning's rush to head off, but some 40 minutes later I was rudely awakened by Banker's woeful tone "I think we are going to miss our flight". Then it was tender hooks for the remainder of the journey. The Uber-man remained optimistic to the last, but my pessimistic nature understood that we were doomed. Never-the-less, we took the chance that given we had checked in on-line that there was a slither of a chance.
The dash to the luggage drop off point was in vain, even after having nearly knocked several people sideways with the big, heavy case.
The baggage drop-off point was closed.
The gate to boarding would close in minutes.
The next flight out from Gatwick would be boxing-day.
Banker and I looked at each other. In a split second we both understood that Christmas was about family and not presents. We dumped the big bags at left luggage, not even stopping to give details of who we were or where we lived. The attendant seemed to understand, put a barcode in our hands with a telephone number hastily scribbled on the back, shouting to us as we fled "Run! Don't worry about your bags! Just call!"
Banker, with marathon and triathalon training was sent as the forward party, without a look back he leapt over obstacles and weaved his way to Gate 20. I followed as fast as I could encumbered by my backpack and case, the only case deemed small enough for hand luggage, shouting encouragement to two children who trailed behind. They made a good start, having sensed the dire nature of the situation. Lil Bro, who had killed the Reception sprint at his last sport's day made good ground. Big Sis who had participated enthusiastically in the Borough Cross Country continued apace. But believe me when I say that Gate 20 was a LONG way from the security gates. At Gate 4, when the computer screens heralded that boarding at Gate 20 was CLOSED, I wondered if my legs could make it. Behind me, I heard crying as Lil Bro succumbed to the enormity of the task. I went back and grasped his hand. Banker was nowhere to be seen.
I pulled Lil Bro by the hand propelling him forward. "Lil Bro", I said, "We are tired, but now we can press our "Booster Pack" buttons and set off our reserve fuel. The Gate is closed, we have to run or there is no chance". We plundered on, shouting and waving to poor Big Sis each time we turned a corner so she did not get lost as she was ten metres behind.
Eventually, we got to Gate 20 where Banker had made them hold the gate open. Sweating like a pig and with two crying children in tow, bereft of worldly possessions, we boarded the flight. On the plane, Big Sis and I started to muse to Lil Bro about the possibility that Santa may not be so smart after all, and had he left Santa a note to tell him we would be in France? Because if he hadn't then Santa may deliver the presents to London and there would be no presents until we were back in London, but not to worry as they would be waiting safely there….
For all that people say about the cynicism and materialism of children and their obsession with more and more toys and presents at Christmas, and the frenzy-like states that parents get into to prepare for a Magical Nigella-esque Christmas "for the children", I can attest that the half-naked children swathed in foraged clothes made not one complaint and had a perfectly splendid Christmas in the company of their grandparents. For all our doubts, even 21st century children can understand that Christmas is about family, not presents.
As for me, I was thankful that I had packed the 5 disc-collectors' edition of Anne of Green Gables (a nostalgic Christmas present to myself) into my own tiny case. At least I alone am fully clothed and will be having a merry Christmas introducing Big Sis to Gilbert Blythe…
Tomorrow we hit Decathalon's ski section with gusto!
I hope you had a Merry Christmas without our mistakes!

Mumbai: Significant savings in raw material cost and a foreign exchange gain helped Cipla Ltd, the country's second largest drug maker by revenue, post a 42.7% growth in net profit at Rs179.45 crore during its fourth quarter compared with the year-ago period.
Unlike its main Indian rivals, Cipla did not face much margin pressure from the rupee's gain against the dollar. Most of its exports were to countries where the currency is euro, which too saw similar appreciation against the US currency.
The company's sales at Rs1,102.29 crore grew by 18.6% compared with the year-ago quarter's Rs929.06 crore.
Cipla, which follows an April to March accounting year, has also for the first time, crossed the $1 billion (Rs4,000 crore) mark in annual turnover at the end of the fourth quarter, with total sales of Rs4,097 crore.
The company's joint managing director, Amar Lulla, said: "The material cost (in proportion to income from operations) was lower as compared to the corresponding quarter of previous year mainly due to changes in product mix. The operational efficiency we achieved during the year has also led to an attractive growth in profits in the last quarter."
Cipla's raw material cost and operational expenditure during the last quarter of the fiscal year grew by only 14.6% and 10%, respectively, compared with its 18% growth in sales. "We have achieved 16% growth, which was well in line with the estimates in the annual sales," Lulla said. Cipla's revenue from domestic business and exports grew by more than 13% and 23%, respectively, for the quarter compared with a year ago.
"The higher cost efficiency achieved in raw material consumption and also the launches of certain important products in last quarter had really contributed to the increased profit," said an analyst with a foreign equity broking firm who did not want to be named.
"The euro-dominated export markets have also helped Cipla to maintain a higher growth in foreign business earnings despite a rupee appreciation against the dollar," he said.
Cipla, which faced a legal challenge from multinational F Hoffman La Roche Ltd for launching a generic version of lung cancer drug erlotinib, said the product contributed about Rs40 lakh to the company's revenue in the quarter.
Lulla said it will launch a few more products in the growing cancer and HIV/AIDS market in India this year.
According to him, Cipla's employee cost increased by about Rs30 crore mainly on account of annual increments and workforce additions. But, tax for the quarter was lower due to tax incentives available at the tax free zone Baddi and a few other location where it operates export oriented units. Other income rose to Rs41 crore, including a foreign exchange gain of Rs25 crore.
Shares of Cipla fell 0.82% to Rs224.30 on the Bombay Stock Exchange on Friday.
