Strongest June market in Fraser Valley in 10 years
Posted in: Market News , Statistics , Statistics, FVREB
Source: Fraser Valley Real Estate Board
SURREY, BC – Last month's sales volumes on the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board's Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) were the highest for June since 2005 and rank as the fourth busiest month ever for MLS® sales in the Fraser Valley.
There were 2,413 sales processed on the MLS® in June, an increase of 45 per cent compared to the 1,668 sales processed in June of last year and also an increase of 23 per cent compared to May.
Jorda Maisey is the Board's President. "This is the strongest residential market we've experienced since 2005 and prior to that in the early 90's. What's generating all this activity?"Our informal market research shows that the majority of homebuyers in the Fraser Valley are families with children moving within their same community or moving within the Fraser Valley region. Our clients are telling us that they're feeling confident with the current economic climate in BC and the long-term value of investing in real estate."
In addition to a surge in sales, the number of new listings also picked up in June increasing by 11 per cent going from 2,989 last year to 3,316 last month; taking the number of active listings to 8,105.
Maisey adds, "With demand for detached homes and townhomes at peak levels, our advice to prospective buyers is interview a number of REALTORS® for help navigating what can be a stressful market. With the average home selling in just over a month and many homes receiving multiple offers, you need an expert to find you a home, protect you and position you for success."
In June, the MLS® Home Price Index (MLS® HPI) benchmark price of a detached home was $609,900, an increase of 7.3 per cent compared to June 2014 when it was $568,600. The benchmark price of townhouses in June was $302,600, an increase of 1.6 per cent compared to $297,800 in June 2014. The benchmark price of apartments decreased year-over-year by 2.6 per cent, going from $197,000 in June 2014, to $191,900 last month.
Now available for the first time, are residential benchmark prices for the municipality of Surrey, as it is geographically defined encompassing the FVREB MLS® areas of North Surrey, Surrey-Central, Cloverdale, South Surrey, but excluding White Rock, which is its own municipality.

UNION and political leaders left a meeting with Post Offices bosses yesterday still angry and frustrated over the planned closure of Coventry's Hertford Street branch.
Neil Robinson, secretary of the area branch of the Communication Workers' Union, said, following the talks at the city's Council House, that the Post Office had "refused to budge".
"They made it clear that the decision had been taken and there was no going back," he said.
"They turned down our request for a public meeting and refused to extend the consultation period which has now officially ended.
"The only concession they made was to agree to accept any further submissions from the union and the city's political leaders over the next few weeks.
"But I have to say after that meeting, our chances of getting the Post Office to change its mind are very, very slim.
"We are very disappointed; but we will fight on, we will not give up."
Post Office Limited plans to close the Hertford Street crown office in the spring, with services transferring to the West Orchards branch of WH Smith.
Mr Robinson added that they had also asked at the meeting for an assurance that the post office branch at the Co-op in Corporation Street would be allowed to remain, but that the Post Office had refused to give any such assurance.
Also at the meeting were the city council's Kevin Foster (Con. Cheylesmore), cabinet member, city development, Labour group leader John Mutton (Binley and Willenhall) and Socialist group leader Dave Nellist (St Michael's).
Cllr Foster said he was very disappointed at the attitude of the Post Office.
"We were promised full consultation," he said, "but the tone of the meeting was that the decision had already been made and was irrevocable.
"The meeting was merely to be about aspects of future service provision.
"It is an insult to the people of Coventry. The Post Office is supposed to be a public service, but it doesn't want to hear the views of the public."
Cllr Nellist said: "I was disappointed that it seemed that the Post Office came not so much on a consultation exercise but a marketing exercise to tell us what their decision was.
"They repeated that they were a business and had to take a business decision.
"One thing I did impress upon them was that I didn't think they realised the changes that are about to take place in the city centre.
"There will be a lot of people coming into places like Swanswell, Friar Gate (the area around Coventry rail station) and the Belgrade Plaza and for them the central post office will be their local post office."
Cllr Mutton said: "The meeting was a total waste of time. We were promised a consultation on whether or not the crown office would close, but the Post Office made it clear that they were only prepared to talk about what services would be available at WH Smith.
"They kept repeating that post offices nationally were losing £70 million a year, but they would not say give the figures for the Coventry crown office. They said it was confidential business information and they could not disclose it."
Yesterday's meeting, which lasted for and hour and a half, was not open to press.

The Domini Social Equity Fund (DSEFX) announced Monday that it had achieved a 33 percent return for calendar 1998. Chicago-based fund rater Morningstar awarded an overall rating of five stars to the no-load, socially responsible fund, which placed in the top 10 percent of 4,412 domestic equity funds for the year. Domini Social Equity also outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index SPX, -1.91% , which returned 29 percent during the same period. "The fund's track record clearly demonstrates that socially responsible investing enables investors to follow their conscience without sacrificing performance," said Domini President Amy Domini. "For instance, our fund has shown that you do not need tobacco stocks in your portfolio. In fact, you are probably better off without them."
Domini Social Equity tracks the Domini 400 Social Index, which is composed of 400 corporations passing the firm's broad-based social screens. The fund seeks to invest in companies with positive records in community involvement, the environment, employee relations and hiring practices and avoids companies with substantial revenues from alcohol, tobacco, gambling, nuclear power and weapons contracting. As of Friday, the fund is up 1.4 percent on a year-to-date basis.
Social funds asked to join boycott
Privacy groups that launched a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission against Intel (INTC) INTC, -0.89% Friday are now asking socially responsible funds to join their cause by divesting themselves of shares in the chip maker. The controversy stems from a new ID feature in Intel's Pentium III chip. Junk Busters, Privacy International and the Electronic Privacy Information Center sent an open letter to managers of the Calvert Social Equity Fund (CSIEX), Citizens Emerging Growth Fund (WAEGX), Domini Social Equity Fund (DSEFX), Dreyfus Third Century Fund (DRTHX), Parnassus Fund (PARNX) and Smith Barney Concert Social Awareness Fund (SSIAX). In the letter, managers of the funds were asked to immediately divest themselves of Intel holdings. Amy Domini, president of the Domini Social Equity Fund, said in a prepared statement that an evaluation process concerning Intel is now under way. While Domini takes the privacy issue seriously, she said, "our fiduciary obligations to our shareholders will not allow us to shorten this process." See full story.
Vanguard reduces 'purchase' fees
The Vanguard Group has eliminated the purchase fee on its Mid-Cap Index Fund (VIMSX) and reduced the 1 percent fee to 0.5 percent for both the Vanguard Small-Cap Growth Index (VISGX) and the Vanguard Small-Cap Value Index (VISVX) funds. "The new purchase fees on the three funds are more reflective of our projected portfolio transaction costs," said George U. Sauter, managing director, Vanguard Core Management Group. "We are now able to offset new share purchases with modest shareholder redemptions, resulting in a reduction of net purchasing activity for the funds and thus lower transaction costs."
Unlike loads or sales commissions, purchase fees are paid directly to the funds to cover the costs of purchasing stocks, including brokerage commissions and market impact costs. These costs are not reflected in fund expense ratios. The purpose of the fees, according to Vanguard, is to allocate a fund's costs of investing new cash directly to the investors making new share purchases. All three funds were formed last May. As of Friday, the Mid-Cap Index Fund was off 8.9 percent year-to-date. Year-to-date, Vanguard Small-Cap Growth and Vanguard Small-Cap Value are down 10.9 percent and 9.2 percent, respectively.

The legend goes that in 1868, Charles Hayden was making his way up North when he was waylaid by dangerously high waters on the Salt River. While waiting for the waters to subside, he stood on top of Tempe Butte and looked out on the fertile land surrounding him, envisioning an ideal spot to establish Hayden Flour Mills.
More than 100 years later we are re-creating Mr. Hayden's vision. By growing the same heritage grains on the same land, we are bringing back a time when flour was non-hybridized, minimally processed and flavorful.
Jeff is the founder and "idea guy" of our little company. He grew up on his family's farm in North Dakota. Quite the transition to our dry heat in Arizona! Jeff is very creative and is always dreaming of new innovations. If you visit us at one of our farmer's markets, you are likely to meet Jeff - please say hi! In his spare time, Jeff likes to make and cook fresh pasta with his fancy pasta extruder.
Emma is Jeff's daughter and the brains of the operation. Think of them as yin and yang: Jeff's dreaming and creativity is balanced by Emma's get-it-done attitude. Emma does everything - balances the books, talks to chefs, makes deliveries, and even mills alongside Ben when he needs a hand. Emma is so dedicated to the flour mill that her bridal bouquet was fashioned entirely from White Sonora wheat stalks! She and her husband are in the process of restoring a 100 year old house in downtown Phoenix. It's fitting that she is taking something old and forgotten, and making it beautiful again.

World news story
The British Embassy in Montevideo celebrated The Queen's Birthday
Over 500 guests assisted including government authorities, legislators, diplomats, media and members of Uruguay's British community.
On Thursday April 28th, the British Embassy celebrated her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 90th birthday at the Ambassador's Ben Lyster-Binns Residence. Over 500 guests assisted including government authorities, legislators, diplomats, media and members of Uruguay's British community.
In addition to Queen Elizabeth II 90th birthday celebration, this year we commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death which is why the event included the official release of a special stamp by the Uruguayan post office to remember this special date. Videos from British Council's campaign "Shakespeare Lives", meant to celebrate The Bard's legacy all around the world, were exhibited, along with films and photos celebrating the Queen's life.
The Ambassador Lyster-Binns spoke to the attendees about these main celebration topics and highlighted the many activities organised by the British Embassy during the past year strengthening the links between Uruguay and the UK. The Science and Innovation Fund connected researchers in benefit of both parties; Chevening Scholarships, which allowed 30 Uruguayans to study Masters at the United Kingdom; and the successful British pavilion of Expo Prado that made it possible to create commercial contacts and show the public what the United Kingdom has to offer. The Ambassador also thanked the sponsors that contributed to make the celebration possible: Anglo, AIVA, BG, British Council, Burberry, Deicas, Diageo, HSBC, PWC and Tullow.
Music had a major role during the celebration; guests were received with a piano player offering an ample repertoire of modern British songs followed by DJ Paula Dexler who added her style to the music. During the evening the choir Rapsodia participated, known for singing with the Rolling Stones last February in the Centenario Stadium. For the occasion they interpreted both national hymns and a potpourri of British music. Guests were treated with typical UK food including some which are a blend of the many cultures represented by the UK such as curry, a popular dish in India, which has become a national treat in Britain.
The Queen's official birthday is the UK's National Day and is celebrated in all British embassies in April or June. Like every year, the official birthday festivity will take place next June with the traditional Royal Guards parade and other events since this is a special anniversary.

Okay, looks like another "vein" ...
Here is another link to go visit. This time it is a "birthday look" -- looking to see where she has been, where she is now and how she got here:
Okay, you read that, right? Sure you did? Now, go here:
And now:
The last link there is the main page of her blog. Here you can find some awesome project files using PaperTrey's stamps to go with punches. The project files are way cool, IMHO ...
For instance, go here:
And scroll down through the post until you get to the little tins that hold a dozen Hershey's Nugget candies. These would make awesome Christmas gifts, wouldn't they?
I'll be working on some designs this weekend, using stamps from TheAngelCompany(tm), for the labels. Check back here with me next week for the results, okay?

Reasons Why Your Children Don't Like Homework and What to Do About It
Homework might be a constant struggle for some students. If that is the case in your home, you need to start by learning the reason for the struggle. Here are some pointers to help you understand why homework time is a constant battle for your children.
Solving the Constant Homework Struggle
Unless the teacher specifically says homework is 'to have fun,' most students dread the thought of it. It's understandable, after spending most of the day working at school, who wants to go home and continue to work? Still,
homework matters
; it's a way to reinforce learning, and it needs to get done. Homework is not only a struggle for students, but for their parents as well. However, it doesn't need to be. By avoiding common mistakes parents make when they participate in homework battles, and using simple leadership strategies, homework time can be more productive, efficient, and rewarding for all. Here you'll find some of the most common homework struggles and what you can do to reduce them.
Regroup and Refuel
Children need some time to unwind when they get home after school. Let them relax before they start their homework assignments. Talk and play together; sometimes all children need is their parent's attention. Listen to what they have to say about their day; it might help you learn if they're struggling with something at school. Give them a tasty and healthy snack to
boost their concentration
and energy, or let them take a short nap. They should be gathering their energy to begin their assignments.
Homework Routine
homework routine
will help your children mentally prepare for what they need to do. Establish a specific time, so it becomes a habit. Routines are all about being constant. Have a homework area with a table, chair, good lighting, and school supplies readily at hand. Be sure that there are no distractions so they can focus on the task at hand.
Typical Homework Problems
They don't understand the assignment:
If your children are having a difficult time with a subject in school, it's unlikely that they will find it easier once home. They might feel anxious without the teacher around to guide them. Sometimes, try as you might, parents are not able to help their children out. You should work together to find the correct answer. These are the moments when your children can
benefit from a good tutoring program
that provides the necessary homework help.
An excellent tutoring option is

They're bad at organizing their activities and managing their time
: Yes, you as a parent are meant to help your children organize their day, but they should also learn to be responsible on their own. Good study habits and responsibility are fundamental to children's academic development. Keeping
organized notes
, handing in their assignments on time, and asking questions if they have any doubts, are all tasks that they're solely responsible for. Being organized and being able to manage their time will make their school life less stressful. They will also be able to have more time for themselves once they finish their assignments.
They don't have the necessary material
: A pretty common reason why children don't complete their homework is that they forgot the material at school. They should double check before leaving the classroom that they copied down their homework and that the necessary books are in their bookbag. Even if it's not time to start their homework, ask them if they need any particular material. You don't want to be running around at night looking for supplies to complete a project.
They forgot what the homework is:
Children get distracted, and they can easily forget to write down their homework or even forget where they wrote it down. Students should have an agenda or a small notebook to write down their homework and other instructions the teacher gives them. If it happens that your children missed class, they should have a reliable friend they can call and ask. Ask them to get the phone number of a couple of their classmates who they can call in case they need some help.

3 Fantastic Locations For Taking Autumnal Photos Of Your Children - Moms Photography Tips - Taking Pictures of Your Kids - Best Spots - Autumn
3 Fantastic Locations For Taking Autumnal Photos Of Your Children
Autumn is a wonderful time of year and can really help to spruce up your photos. With beautiful colours and contrasts, different textures to play with and subtle lighting, it's the perfect season for getting those snaps just right.
And it can be an even better time of year to take photographs of your kids, giving them a fun opportunity to play around during the shoot and making them look even cuter than usual when bundled up in all those winter clothes.
But, where exactly are the best places to make the most of the season when shooting with kids? Here, we've found our top 3 locations for taking photos of your children in Autumn.
Wooded areas
This is the most obvious location for taking autumnal photographs but also the best. It allows you to take classic photos of children playing amongst beautiful autumn leaves and can have them in lots of different natural poses.
Photographing your kids is much easier when they're having fun and allows you to capture the real happiness and cheekiness in their smiles better than in a forced setting. Having them throw some leaves around or jump into them will not only make them happy, but will also produce great photographs.
To provide a bit more variety in your photos, you could opt for a country park which will balance the trees with other features like lakes and old buildings.
This post by the Guardian has some suggestions of places to visit to get those perfect backdrops.
Pumpkin patch
Autumn wouldn't be autumn without this seasonal produce and pumpkins are a great way to improve your photographs.
The vibrant orange colours of pumpkins look great on camera and your kids will enjoy a trip out to pick their own pumpkin. With little ones surrounded by these huge squashes, it can make for a great photo opportunity. Try finding a hale bale kicking around and have them perch on that for a real rustic take on it.
This page has a list of all UK pumpkin patches to find one nearby.
If there's no pumpkin farm near you, other autumnal fruit can work just as well, so a trip to an apple orchard for some fruit picking can be a perfect photo opportunity. Alternatively, create your own DIY pumpkin patch here.
Many people limit their autumnal photo shoots to areas of the great outdoors. However, whilst autumn is a great time for mother nature, the city also offers plenty of photo opportunities for kids.
We spoke to Filming With Kids who said: "Many people overlook taking photos in the city and reserve it purely for the countryside. Yet, the contrast that exists in cities and towns make for great pictures. Gold, yellow and red leaves stand out perfectly against a backdrop of modern buildings and the different locations available across a city gives you plenty of options to get the right one."
Positioning your children in a leafy park with a backdrop of a city or town can give autumnal photos a great twist.
This Time Out post shows the great potential of photographing in a city.

I actually said out loud today to someone, "Negro please."
Words that I rarely if ever use. However the situated called for it.
Picture this if you will.
You see a pretty girl, holding a book up to her face apparently intently reading whatever is contained in said book.
You are a boy. You think girl is kinda hot. Do you needle her about reading a "white" sounding book? Do you do this and not expect to get told to fuck off?
I was polite enough not to tell him to fuck right off however I was not polite enough not to roll my eyes and say, "negro please" and continue reading.
Anyhow I posted this in Fatshionista and maybe one of you fantastic readers can help a girl out.
I need a plain black semi-fitted(as in not princess seamed or cut like a mens button up) button up shirt that maybe stretches a little. You would not think that is an impossible thing to ask for but I have been thwarted at every turn.
I have been so far to Macys, Ross, Torrid (Torrid and I are breaking up sadly), Hot Topic (my boobs laughed), LB, JCPenny, Onestopplus.com, and I am starting to think I will never find it.
I don't want sparklies, ruffles, lace, bell sleeves, ribbons or any other shiny fluttery crap on it.
I am wide shouldered, big boobed, short waisted. I probably need anywhere from a Torrid-ish size 12 to an average 16? 40 D type bust. Long or three quarter sleeves is disco. Hip length or a little longer is fine I can tuck it in. I don't want to pop off buttons or have to wear four layers of stuff under it so I don't have a tit falling out everywhere. I can probably spend up to about 45$ but I would prefer to spend less. However I am willing to squeeze the wallet so I can have a staple in my closet of doom.
Apparently my shopping fu for clothes that don't come from the thrift store is just broken and I am really frustrated.
Also, point me towards plain (no fancy stitching, no shiny, no sequins no butterflies, etc) black boot cut jeans/other warmish pants and I might come through your computer and hump your leg in sheer joy. 30 in inseam size 14 (or can accomdate 34" waist) i will really seriously love you forever. I can't really afford over 50$ for one pair sadly.
(x-posted to my regular blog) OH (sorry almost forgot) if you can point me at a pattern for the mythical plain black button up I could probably make one myself. But I am not an experienced pattern buyer yet so I wouldn't know what to look for. Now really thanks.
As much as I do actually like ribbons and other fluttery shit I don't want them on every item of clothing I own. I left the thread open and check out some of the fabulous suggestions.
I think...wait for it...I might actually be going to the fucking Gap sometime soon. Insanity reigns.
While we're talking clothes I believe I might be about to drop some (for me) serious cash on this Lip Service top. I think the Division LS line is very sexy and by the sizing on that bad boy I believe it might just contain the D Cups of Doom.
My problem finding a shirt like this leads me to wonder where do Fat Butches shop? Granted I'd want a slightly girly cut but, I've known many a hot butch with some tig ole bitties and hrm. Note to self email some people.
And PANTS have been found. At Old Navy of all places. I'm not entirely happy about giving them my money but i need a pair of new black jeans so bad. These are the ones I'm thinking about. I'm not entirely sure if I need a 14 or a 16. It depends on where the rise is. No way a mid rise jean will go to my natural waist. And if the rise is too low they will fit in the hips/booty and not in the "waist". Crap.
I might try the Classic rise instead although I hate jeans over my belly button.
Why am I on such a mission? Mainly because over the years I have unfortunately neglected building myself a base of good staple items. And my tastes have swung back to comfort, hotness and the absurd. So a lot of things I did have that are either worn out or just don't fit aren't fitting the bill.
Additionally the places I used to shop when I was younger I can't afford anymore (ah the joy of youth and few bills) or I can't find things I like that fit.
SO, with the assistance of Fatshionista I believe next paycheck I will be making a few purchases from the Old Navy and giving them a whirl. Not uber goth to shop there *insert eye roll here* but I don't give a shit I wanna look hot.
I also want a non tight lacing waist nipper to wear with a few skirts that I have. Those also need the black button up shirt and that would be teh hot sex.
Also really I am thinking Spring here. i am willing the warm weather to get here because my Winter Fu sucks and I don' feel like being cute when it's so fucking cold out. Then I get bummed out because I'm too miserable layering stuff and sweating under it all (because I walk everywhere I don't ride the bus to) and I feel gross and not cute.
Again, I fucking hate winter.
I also hate winter because my skin is still freaking out and I don't know what to do. It has rejected the whole baking soda cleanse every night. No really last night while I was gently removing my eye make up my skin said, "FUCK YOU AND YOUR GENTLE WASHCLOTH" and this morning I wake up to a lake of oil in spots and some peeling along my hairline.
This isn't the first time my skin has done this and won't be the last. My skin is very sensitive to weather and it does not want. So I sooth as I can and wait for weather that won't make it lash out in anger.
In other news I've been so cranky this week because my ability to sleep is again fucked like I don't even know what.
And it's making me crazier. And that is not good.
What else?
Oh let's talk make up shall we?
My Milk of Magnesia experiment was good and bad. Good it is a very nice silky primer for make ups. Bad that it wasn't entirely strong enough to defeat my skin. However, if my skin were not going bitchnuts it would probably work a lot better and bonus it didn't break me out. And it's cheap.
Verdict is, if you have moderately oily to normal skin this would probably work super well for you.
Also um baking soda daily made my skin angry or did I say that already? At any rate it did and there will be no more of that son.
So that's about it. More later unless I am up for awhile then insanity.

"Who needs friends when you have nurses?" – Alexandria Gunnels
Update by Grace: Hey guys I'm Alex's best friend Grace and I'll be writing the update this month; Alex is sick and tired of writing about her stupid cancer LOL.
Alex just finished up her spinal radiation, and now our days are not as busy. Me and Alex love to color pictures during the day. Alex is quite the artist! She even has her own decorated binder that she keeps all her pictures in! (Thanks Aunt Andrea)! Alex also loves to hang out with her home nurses. A nurse comes once a day to check in on her. All of the nurses have been so nice and have really helped us! This summer has flown by fast, and I'm glad I get to spend every day with Alex.
The time has flown by since Alex was diagnosed in January with her tumor, recently Alex and her family received the news that cancer cells from the tumor spread over her brain, Alex is too strong to let this bring her down, she still has a positive attitude and will never give up in fighting her battle. We started a new medicine called "DCA" that seems to be very promising in treating brain tumors. We hope that this medicine will make her tumor stable and shrink it.
MARK THE DATE! On July 27th we are having another fundraiser for our team Kick Cancer's A.S.S in our walk for Miles For Hope. I KNOW we will see you there LOL! Join us at Applebees this Wednesday from 4-9 pm in St. Pete and be sure to print your flyer! Also, do not forget to sign up for our walk and support brain tumor research! We still need another hundred people for our team to reach our goal!
Thank you all for supporting Alex by sending her gifts, joining her fundraisers, and signing up for the walk. Alex and her family appreciate it.

Throwback to my favorite cornfield song.
Books, Art, & Writing
Went to a corn maze today with one of my best friends. T'was aMAZEingly fun to navigate and get lost.
Throwback to my favorite cornfield song.
Today I filmed a quick To-Be-Read video for Bout of Books 17. I am currently reading The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma. It's interesting and passing the time as my video renders. You can watch the TBR down below if you want. Since I am updating here as well as Twitter & Youtube I'll post their blurb below. For most current updates Twitter will be the best, but if time allows I will vlog.
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 22nd and runs through Sunday, August 28th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 17 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team
Animation bootcamp is going well, still behind and only have till Friday, but progress is progress. I'm aiming for at least one more project done before the critique closes. I think that's reasonable considering I have an eye appointment on Wednesday. I never get any reading or video stuff done while my eyes are dilated. I am still delaying the Ogallala video because of edit time. Lack of tripod really makes everything difficult. Also I need to plan videos out a bit more. Editing the TBR video went very quick because I had a plan and idea for the structure…but the camping video not so much. Learning on the go.
Goals this week is get the bootcamp as close to finished as possible, and start animating my selfi animation. That has been sitting on the back burner for way too long, and I could benefit from actually finishing one of my personal animations. I just came up with another idea for an animation, so I'll be adding that to my list of eventual short animated films to make. I really love coming up with these ideas, but starting to get too many!
This concludes my Monday Life updates. TBR is below for viewing. Talk to you guys soon!
Finished my wrap up video for Booktube-a-thon. Includes the spine poetry & TBR lettering I never posted.
Since that's done I'm now currently distracted by the new All American Rejects Song DGAF.
Today's challenge for Booktube-a-Thon was to tell a book story/plot with book covers. I decided to summarize the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I couldn't include everything due to limited bookcover pictures, otherwise I would have had the appearance of Marvin the Depressed Robot. This was the last day for the Booktube-a-Thon reading challenges, tomorrow I will work on a wrapup of all the books I read and the last of the missed challenge videos. Till then enjoy tonight's book cover story while I cram in my last minute reads!
My book spine poetry video is coming soon. I've been trying to balance reading and getting challenges in for the day of rather than backtracking. I really do want to finish that one though, so I should be up soon. Instead I did today's challenge which is Literary Book Travels. Basically pick literary locations you would want to travel to. I had so many different places I wanted to go, but for the sake of sanity just ended up picking Dan Brown's mystery books. He has so many different places that are rich in history as his main locations, and they're all places I want to go to. If I had more time would have illustrated some places and maybe animated them. There's also the potential to create some travels based around fictional worlds like Narnia & Hogwarts. I'll have to leave that for another week though. Till then I need to read more, only one more day left of this readathon!
-Yawn- Started falling asleep while working on this. Long day of lots of different projects and then I went and got a fun haircut. So didn't really get to work on my challenge video until tonight. I'm posting just the styleframes since I haven't had a chance to do anything with audio or music. Challenge is to make a poem using book titles (the spines). I thought I'd handletter the titles so it took a bit longer to put together than wanted. I need to place the images of each novel in still and adjust so that you can read the poem and understand what's going on. It's a task I plan on leaving until tomorrow morning since I'm really tired. Night guys!
So this is the culmination of just having fun creating something different. I learned a bit more on how to use Audition, although I really don't have an ear for this kind of stuff so I can't really say I know how to use it well…but the point is that I learned something new. I also was reminded of how much I love photomanipulations. Been awhile since I've done that. All in all good creative day. Have a few more things to work on before bed tonight, but for now celebrating the wins of my day!
Question for you! What did you do today that you're proud of?
I'm proud of finishing this Challenge Video and still having extra time in the day!
Meet my extremely sketchy doodle from the Raven Boys I did mostly via my ipad, but since I couldn't really record my screen on there I ended up only being able to catch the tail end of my edits on my desktop. Hope you enjoy I liked this and might do more.
Working on my title sequences for my BookTube-A-Thon TBR. I was aiming to enter the giveaway for a box of books, but I realized that I didn't have enough time to finish. So here's the process of the lettering so far. I'm in the middle of the vectoring and have to still animate it a bit. Not to mention edit all the video I filmed today. Planning on doing some more takes tomorrow. I don't know if I said this before, but I'm using this as a test run for my Selfi Animation, also, it's been fun diving into more lettering.
I have a lot to do tomorrow so hoping that I can finish this up and get it done by the end of tomorrow so I don't have to worry about it. I'm trying to get ahead this week so that I can allot more time to reading next week.
Yay finished with the road trip vlog. I still have some other things I want to make related to the trip, but the vlog is done!
I had fun. Learned a few things from this past week when it comes to vlogging here's 5 of them.
Lesson one: Do not vlog with gum in my mouth. Really distracting and gross.
Lesson two: Pay attention to where your fingers are.
Lesson three: I need to be more energetic while talking to the camera. That's probably because I'm camera shy. Working on that.
Lesson four: Always make sure you have enough space to record.
Lesson five: I need to invest in a tripod. And a better camera. Vlogging on my iphone is a little hard because of the limited space I have.
I have plans to do VEDA. In the meantime I have other things to work on to prep for the upcoming month, like backing up my computer and cleaning up my files. I have a lot of files I do not need on here. Till tomorrow, here's the last vlog.
I also have a playlist if you want to watch the entire vlog series, or if you want to catch up.

Melancholy Accidents: America's Long, Sad History with Guns : The New Yorker.
So many Americans insist that they need guns for self protection. One thing they fail to take into account is the number of people who die simply because there is a gun in the household. More people are killed by their own guns than are saved by their own guns.

Hi all,
Just looking for a little advice. I work in the public eye and don't like attention at the best of times but self employed, have to put myself out there etc. I got a text yesterday from a guy, who was interested in my services and he said I'm not sure my shorts would be acceptable? I obviously did not reply and deleted the message. Last night another text from him wondering was I embarrassed and his words "I gladly describe the shorts I'll be wearing". I then blocked his number but I'm totally freaked!!!!!! What to do, report to the guards or wait and see. I have his number blocked but still freaking is he still trying to text..
Post Deleted Because: The OP deleted this post
What were the explicit texts? Cos if you went to the guards with these messages they would laugh you out of the station
Hardly explicit!
And are you serious about being totally freaked over someone who texts you from a phone with identifying g number telling you they will gladly describe their shorts? If this is all you have to worry about in the public eye you are doing well!
sounds like some bored teenage boy.
Thanks girls, hope so!!!
50216 is the number to use and I've blocked through that, I've no way of knowing if he texted since tho

I finished my psychology degree shortly after McBean was born (he was a few weeks old when I did my final exam). Another setback came about when the laws of registration for mediators changed to make compulsory a 12 month graduate diploma. So instead of looking for work when McBean was about six months old as we had planned (so Lazyboo could take a turn being mostly SAHP, and we could increase our income just in time for the new federal laws), I started this new course when he was about 3 months old. I finished that in the last couple of months secure in the knowledge that this right for me, and starting looked for a job – this was an urgent thing given the dire state of our finances. In about 3 months, only 3 roles were advertised. I got no reply from one, an interview and positive feedback from the second, and I got the third.
So today, 5 years and 8 months to the day after I resigned, my career is finally getting started again. And this time it will be different. I will never again work as hard as I once did to the detriment of my now bigger family and to my health.
Our lifestyle in the time since McBean's birth has been wonderful but increasingly hard to sustain. We made the choice after his birth that I would stay at home full time at least until he was six to eight months old, and that Lazyboo would restructure her job until I could start work. So after a month at home after his birth, she changed her working hours to fit a (mostly) full time load into three days. So since December last year, she has worked three days a week from 8 till 8. [We were fortunate enough that her employer allowed this and still considered and paid her as full time]. This has been lovely in that she has been home with McBean 4/7 days his whole life (and allowed me to study and do internships on the extra 2 weekdays). I attribute McBean's equal bonding with both of us to that choice. To him, we are interchangeable, either will do. But the price of this has been long long days for her at work, and 3 days a week where she has barely seen the kids, if at all. Most of the time she has left when they are not up yet, and come home after their bedtimes. It has also been hard on me to be fully responsible for everything on those days. It has been exhausting, especially the time from 5pm to bedtime.
My new role is 4 days a week, and includes one late day so I'll have an extra morning at home. And now I have Lazyboo. I can happily go to work knowing that my children are home (every day except one) with their Baba. FenFox will never again have to spend more time in care than with a parent, and McBean will never know that life. This is incredibly important to me, and I am so very grateful to have a partner who values this as well. I feel so very fortunate to be able to recommence the pursuit of my career while keeping the needs of my family in balance. There is no doubt that life will be very different for us all from tomorrow, but I am feeling very positive and optimistic about it. At the very least, we can now eat both breakfast and dinner together every day (except dinner on Tuesday), and nobody has to be fully responsible for everything on any one day.
Another huge positive to these new changes is the space that it will give Lazyboo. I am hoping that taking over the breadwinner role from her will ease the pressure and allow her to relax and enjoy being with the children, and give her the opportunity to consider what she wants to do next. Just like she has done for me for the past 5 years and 8 months. I can never thank her enough for that.
There is no doubt that it will be very strange to relinquish my role as SAHP, and to largely give over those responsibilities. It will be hard to have to say goodbye every morning, and to miss out on the slow lazy days of being with McBean. It is sad that I will only have the joyful experience of seeing FenFox scooting through the gate and breezing through the door chatting about her day once a week. Playdates and mother's groups, both straight and queer, will no longer be the focus of my days. I will miss spending long hours just being with my children, being with other mothers. But this is the right step for me. The right step for the whole family. It's time to allow Lazyboo to experience more of those simple joys, and time for me to fulfill other needs.
It's going to be interesting.

I received this book for free from Blogging For Books in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett
Series: The Divine Cities #1
Published by Broadway Books on 2014 September 9
Genres: Fantasy
Pages: 452
Format: E-book {ARC}
Source: Blogging For Books
Buy on Amazon
Years ago, the city of Bulikov wielded the powers of the Gods to conquer the world. But after its divine protectors were mysteriously killed, the conqueror has become the conquered; the city's proud history has been erased and censored, progress has left it behind, and it is just another colonial outpost of the world's new geopolitical power. Into this musty, backward city steps Shara Thivani. Officially, the quiet woman is just another lowly diplomat sent by Bulikov's oppressors. Unofficially, Shara is one of her country's most accomplished spymasters — dispatched to investigate the brutal murder of a seemingly harmless historian. As Shara pursues the mystery through the ever-shifting physical and political geography of the city, she begins to suspect that the beings who once protected Bulikov may not be as dead as they seem — and that her own abilities might be touched by the divine as well.
I have to be honest here. When I signed up for an account on Blogging for Books, my intent was to look for an ARC of a book that I really wanted. I made a request on EW but sadly, got rejected. Driven by a sick obsession, I sought Blogging for Books in the hopes that I might find what I'm looking for there. Obviously, my search failed and I end up with City Of Stairs. Yeah, I know, I could have just walk away without adding another ARC to my staggering TBR pile but I need to try the site and see how it works, build some reviewing cred… yada…yada… There weren't a lot of choices because some of the titles being offered were horror, zombie stuff and other titles that really didn't catch my attention. City of Stairs was the best choice because it belongs to my favorite genre, Fantasy (Although I would learn later that the author does not have a specific genre for City of Stairs. Here's the post if you're interested in reading it: The Genre Fountain). Prior to requesting the book, I've already read a wonderful review of it a month before. That review has made me consider picking up the book but I didn't anticipate that it would be this soon. Well, what I can say right now is that: Thank heavens for making me pick the e-ARC asap! City of Stairs has just compensated for all the other ARCs (10 of them and still counting) that greatly disappointed me this year. City of Stairs is utter perfection!
I don't even know where to start or how to write this review without spoiling everyone or bore you with my wax poetic. All I know is that City of Stairs is a mix of everything. It can be considered as whodunit, mythopoeia, epic fantasy, thriller…you get the idea. At the wrong hands, City of Stairs would have tremendously flopped considering that there's an impression that the author was trying to cram a lot of things into the story. But OMG, City of Stairs was gold! It's a one stop shop for readers who are into detective stuff, mythology, fantasy, steampunk, and all that jazz.
The City Of Stairs started with a curious air as I was immediately thrown into a scene on what is clearly an ongoing case on a courtroom. Then things got more interesting when the trial was suddenly disturbed by a shocking news. Efrem Pangyui, the famous Saypuri historian, was murdered. The horrendous event immediately set things in motion. Our main character, Shara Thivani, who is a close friend of Efrem immediately travelled to the capital city of the Continent, Bulikov. Pretending to be a lowly Cultural Ambassador, Shara is actually one of the greatest spies of Saypuri, a nation that was once a slave to the Continent. Once Shara and her bodyguard started to unearth the mystery surrounding Efrem's death, trouble—as big as the gods themselves—instantly ensued.
While reading the City of Stairs, I really expected that I will get bored at some point. I mean, this book is about gods, history of Saypur and the Continent, etc., which for the average reader (like me) are already perfect ingredients for a certified boring book riddled with annoying infodumps. Gladly, Bennett was able to use the said ingredients with great mastery that the book is either or more than perfection.
We've got characters that are worth rooting for. Pardon if I will get some of their names misspelled as they are really weird. The main character, Shara, is such a brilliant detective. How do I even describe her deduction skills? Maybe not as awesome as Sherlock Holmes' but Robert Langdon's perhaps. I love the way she processes her thoughts. And although she possesses the usual characteristics (no curves, small, bookworm, brilliant, straight A student) of the special snowflakes that littered our YA books today, she's different in the sense that she doesn't wallow on inferiority complex bullshit and if she has a task at hand, instead of moaning (i.e. I can't do this! I am not powerful enough!) she will see it through with total composure. Absolutely no backing down or even attempts of doing so despite the fact that some of the consequences of her actions were killing her inside.
Then of course, would I forget Sigrud? Okay, I don't want to describe how awesome he is and make this review longer than it is but he really made me cry and laugh at the same time. Dear Lord, this is emotional puppetry at its best. The other characters, including the Gods, were memorable as well. There's Mulaghesh, Pitry, Votrov…blah blah blah.
The world building was mindblowing without the author resorting to infodump. Everything about the world, the gods, the culture, the religion, the history unraveled in sufficient increments to give the reader enough time to appreciate the whats, wheres, whens, hows, and whys of the story.
The plot is also praiseworthy. All throughout the book, my mind was not only busy deducting who killed Efrem but I was also busy thinking about the mysterious Kaj, how he killed the Gods, etc. There was never a moment that I got bored with City of Stairs and I would have finished it one sitting if I wasn't so busy with work and school.
I don't know if this is still worth mentioning but the romance or a hint of it was heartwrenching. I really hoped to the gods that Shara and her romantic interest (despite his true self) would have at least some sort of an HEA.
Okay, I need to end this now. Summing it up, City of Stairs, despite being a standalone and only told in 300+ pages, managed to tell a story with tremendous character development, tightly woven plot, and magnificent world building. It is a masterpiece worthy of standing ovation. BOW!

Business model
Primerica, Inc. is an insurance and financial services company that uses multi-level marketing[3][4][5][6][8] to sell financial products and services. Headquartered in unincorporated Gwinnett County, Georgia,[9][10] Primerica spun off from its former parent company Citi through an initial public offering on April 1, 2010.
It is a financial services marketing organization in North America with approximately 120,000 independent representatives,[11][12] including 22,000 Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Series 6 licensed[1] through Primerica's securities broker-dealer affiliate PFS Investments, Inc. in the United States, and through PFSL Investments Canada Ltd. in Canada. The company focuses on the sale of term life insurance,[1] as well as providing other financial products and services including mutual funds, annuities, segregated funds, managed accounts, long-term care insurance, pre-paid legal services, auto insurance, home insurance, credit monitoring and debt management plans. The company has more than 4.3 million life insurance clients and over 2 million client investment accounts.[11]

A.L. Williams & Associates (A.L. Williams), the progenitor of Primerica, was founded in 1977 by Arthur L. Williams Jr. The company employed a mass-marketing concept of "buy term and invest the difference", to illustrate illustrated how its mostly middle-income client base could purchase sufficient protection with term life insurance and systematically save and invest in separate investment vehicles, such as mutual fund Individual Retirement Accounts.[1] A.L. Williams was initially established as a privately held general agency, at first selling term life insurance policies underwritten by Financial Assurance, Inc. (FAI).
In 1980, A.L. Williams entered into a contract with Boston-based Massachusetts Indemnity and Life Insurance Company (MILICO), a larger underwriter of life insurance and a subsidiary of Santa Monica-based PennCorp Financial Services. In 1981, the company established First American National Corporation (later renamed The A.L. Williams Corporation) as a holding company for First American Life Insurance (later renamed A.L. Williams Life Insurance Company) and First American National Securities (later renamed PFS Investments, Inc). In 1982, The A.L. Williams Corporation (ALWC) underwrote a public stock offering, listed in the Over the Counter (OTC) market under the symbol ALWC. In 1983, the company became listed on the NASDAQ exchange under the same symbol.
Origin of Primerica name
PennCorp finalized a merger agreement with American Can Company in 1983, and became its subsidiary along MILICO. In 1986 Triangle Industries bought American Can's packaging division and the rights to the company's name, and in 1987 American Can announced that it would change its 86-year-old name to Primerica Corporation,[13] hence giving birth to the new and currently recognized name "Primerica."
Acquisition by Commercial Credit
After encountering legal and cultural roadblocks to expanding outside the United States, ALWC began selling the insurance products of Pennsylvania Life Insurance Company, a Primerica subsidiary, in Canada in 1986. Primerica announced in May 1987 that it intended to purchase Wall Street brokerage firm Smith Barney for $750 million and move into the financial services sector.[14] On November 30, 1988, ALWC acquired MILICO from Primerica Corporation through a stock merger acquisition for 44.58 million shares of ALWC stock, making Primerica Corporation the majority shareholder of ALWC. In December 1988, Sanford Weill's Commercial Credit acquired Primerica Corporation for $1.54 billion, retaining the Primerica name. At this time, the major businesses under Primerica Corporation were A.L. Williams, Smith Barney and Commercial Credit. On February 6, 1989, Primerica Corporation began trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Travelers and Citigroup era
In November 1989, Primerica purchased the remaining 30% of ALWC that it did not previously own and the privately held General Agent, A.L. Williams, Inc. In 1991, Primerica Corporation changed the name of A.L. Williams to Primerica Financial Services. The following year MILICO, Primerica's life insurance underwriter, changed its name to Primerica Life Insurance Company, and its broker-dealer FANS changed to PFS Investments, Inc.[15] In December 1993, Primerica acquired the remaining 73% of Travelers Insurance Corporation and adopted the name Travelers Inc., which was changed to Travelers Group the following year.[15] Travelers Group included Primerica Financial Services, Smith Barney, Travelers Life and Annuity, Travelers Property/Casualty, Commercial Credit and other financial businesses. Joe Plumeri was Chairman and CEO of Primerica Financial Services from 1995 to 1999.[16][17][18] In 1998, Primerica had net income of $398 million on net sales of $1.65 billion, compared to a 1994 $209 million net income on net sales of $1.28 billion.[19]
In December 1997, Primerica announced it was going to begin offering pre-paid legal through Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., at the time both subsidiaries of Travelers Group, Inc.[20] In 1998, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) censured and fined PFS Investments Inc., the securities arm for Primerica, for failure to properly supervise a group of registered representatives in Dearborn, Michigan. The SEC found that PFS Investments Inc. had failed to have in place effective policies and procedures to follow up adequately on three complaints received about the Dearborn registered representatives, "selling away" activities. Prior to the SEC's ruling, PFS Investments Inc. hired an independent consultant to review its supervisory and compliance policies and procedures to prevent and detect violations of the federal securities laws. By the date of the ruling, PFS Investments reported it had complied with the final recommendations made by the independent consultant.[21]
In 1998, Travelers Group and banking giant Citicorp merged creating Citigroup (NYSE: C). Primerica and its affiliates continued to operate as subsidiaries of Citigroup, although the Travelers insurance business was spun off in 2002. Along with Primerica, other major brand names under Citigroup included Citibank, CitiFinancial, Citicorp Trust Bank, Smith Barney, and Banamex. John Addison and Rick Williams were hired as co-CEOs in 2000, and Glen Williams was promoted to President in 2005.[22]
Separation from Citi
Citigroup attempted to sell Primerica in 2008,[23] having received several bids from life insurance companies and private equity firms interested in buying.[24][25] At the time the market value of the company was estimated to be $7 billion, roughly 15 times its annual earnings[26] and Citi was trying to match various bidders in groups that could bid for the unit together. Initially, a sale to JC Flowers & Co. LLC and Protective Life Corp was underway until the deal was canceled last minute for publicly undisclosed reasons.[27]
In May 2009 the Primerica executive team led by co-CEOs John Addison and Rick Williams approached private equity firm J.C. Flowers & Co. yet again, as well as Blackstone Group LP and TPG Inc [23] in a new attempt to have the company bought, a plan which Citigroup did not endorse.[28]
Initial public offering
On November 5, 2009 Citi announced that it intended to spin off Primerica through an initial public offering.[29] The first trading occurred on April 1, 2010. Initially, the expected share price was in the $12 – $14 range, having ended up being priced $15 a share on March 31, 2010,[30] resulting in Citi raising 27 percent or $30 million more than $290 million projected through the IPO by selling 3.36 million more shares than the anticipated 18 million.[31] The first day of trading saw the stock surge 31 percent to end up closing at $19.65 a share.[32]
In a separate offering, private equity firm Warburg Pincus has bought 17.2 million shares, resulting in a 23 percent stake in Primerica, and up to 33 percent if Warburg decides to exercise warrants to purchase an additional 4.3 million shares from Citi. Following the IPO, Citi's stake was between 32 percent and 46 percent and expected to divest its interest in Primerica "as soon as possible"[33] to fulfill its original goal of raising cash by shedding assets to improve financial performance. On December 19, 2011, Citigroup sold its remaining equity stake in Primerica (approximately 8 million shares of Primerica's common stock), completing the separation from Citi.[34]
Sales force recruitment and earnings
In Primerica's eleven-tiered multilevel-marketing system, the company's sales representatives receive a commission for selling financial products, while a portion of the sale is also paid to the representative's recruiter, the recruiter's recruiter, and so on, up to eleven levels.[3] Sales agents are tasked with selling the company's products to a "warm market" including their family and friends.[3] As of 2010, Primerica required its sales representatives to pay a $25 monthly fee, and it is estimated that these fees netted the company revenue of $2.5 million per month from its own employees.[5] In 2010, Primerica was reported to have over 100,000 representatives selling the company's financial products, with individual earnings averaging $5,156 per year.[3] More than 190,000 new sales recruits paid a fee to sign up for Primerica in 2014, but the company only boosted its total licensed sales force by 3,700 that year, and each member of the sales team earned an average of $6,030.[5]
In October 2015, James Wilcox, a school district superintendent in Longview, Texas and other Primerica representatives were censured by the Longview school district for holding Primerica recruitment pitch meetings at a local high school. The meetings generated numerous complaints and violated the school district's employee policy manual, which prohibits employees from using their position with the district "to attempt to sell products or services".[35] In 2017, Primerica representatives reportedly tried to recruit students on the campus of Brooklyn College, in violation of the college's rules.[36]
2012 Florida lawsuit and settlement
In 2012, Primerica was the target of multiple lawsuits alleging that the company's representatives sought to profit by earning commissions after convincing Florida firefighters, teachers and other public workers to divest from safe government-secured retirement investments to inappropriate high-risk retirement products offered by Primerica. In January 2014, the company set aside $15.4 million to settle allegations involving 238 lawsuits.[5][37]

EasyGroup faces legal wrangle with Viacom
Stelios Haji-Ioannou's easyGroup is in a legal dispute with Viacom after the media owner refused to run ads on London Underground (LU) for easyInternetCafé.
Viacom, which holds the contract to run advertising for LU, refused to run the ads because they compare easyInternetCafé's service with that of Internet service provider AOL, in contravention of an Advertising Standards Authority ruling in December (MW December 13, 2001).
Now the company is refusing to give back all the &£25,000 paid for the two-week booking because, it argues, easyInternetCafé failed to provide it with a poster that meets ASA standards.
EasyGroup is talking to its solicitors about the legality of the move, which it says is "theft". Its media buyer Starcom Motive has taken an undisclosed part of the booking for another client, but Viacom says the remaining empty space must be paid for by easyGroup.
EasyGroup director of corporate affairs James Rothnie says he wants all the money returned. He says: "We want our money back. Viacom received our money but refused to provide the goods."
Viacom marketing communications manager Hannah Skellorn says: "We took the booking and wanted to run a campaign, but we're not going to give all the money back. We're not going to lose out just because we can't run its ad."
Starcom Motive declined to comment for legal reasons.

'Paper theatre' is a form of Japanese street storytelling. The stories are told with the help of pictures. We'll tell you a story to get things started. Then let your imagination get to work as you draw your own illustrations for it, and tell the story back the way you see it. You get to listen to a story, draw and perform (with the help of your pictures). Perfect!
(Sessions can be adapted for any age group.)
Bring It On!
For teenagers we offer a session of open mic slots, but mixed up with the chance to skill-up and tweak your telling . If you've got the guts, we want to hear you. We'll compere the session like we compere Story Jam every month, so expect laughs and a warm welcome onto our stage. Bring a story to work on.
(If you are no longer a teenager, you might keep an eye out for Fresh Blood & Guts nights, which we run with other London storytelling organisations. It's a platform for new tellers to show the world what you've got.)
Beehive Storytelling Sessions
Pluck a story out of the air. Games to get your imagination and impro mojo flowing will lead into a group storytelling. Find your hive-mind as the story starts connecting and we tell one another a tale that we didn't even know before we started telling it. Who knows what it will be about? All we know is you'll leave buzzing with energy. Suitable for adults, families, anyone.
(This is the one session in which we don't work with traditional stories.)
Toe Dipping Workshop – Saturday 20th January 10.30am – 12.30pm. £25
Contact us at email@example.com to book, and for more information.
Oh, and…!
It's always worth telling us you're interested even if you can't make the dates we list – you might be the tipping point that makes us schedule the next one!
