  1. Great news. They’ve hidden in the press release that Lazuli Sky is available to stream from this weekend. Something to look forward to.
  2. It’s so lovely you with your students for their first fitting. We had to trust the fitters and the dance teachers recommendation for a particular brand regardless of foot type. Once dd was confident she went with what she felt was best for her.
  3. Elmhurst rent out their facilities to help keep themselves in the black. I’m sure RBS/White Lodge are gaining financially from this arrangement.
  4. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/oct/20/teenagers-death-after-being-given-antipsychotic-was-potentially-avoidable Oliver’s poor treatment and death is still making headlines. His parent’s and family show such strength continuing to fight.
  5. But if you’re a self conscious 12 year old, say for example you’re one of the first in your class to reach puberty, and a number of the observing parents are watching you intently and whispering behind their hands rather than watching their own offspring how do you think the child feels?
  6. And the children are very aware they are being judged by the watching parents.

    Room 101

    Over the last few years there have been increasing amounts of huge organised cycle races that start at local public school and head towards coast, they claim to be raising money for charity. In May we normally have a sunrise cycle that attracts hundreds and at the same time a two day triathlon that also goes past in opposite direction. When I still did night shifts I had to make sure I wasn’t working otherwise no sleep was possible.

    And then look at you like you shouldn’t be there? 🙄

    Room 101

    I’m back to put groups of Lycra clad cyclists in Room 101. I hadn’t realised we’d had a blissful few months without packs of shouting, Lycra clad, entitled cyclists until they are back this morning. For the past 5 hours we’ve had groups going past the house every few minutes, shouting to each other as the approach the junction ‘LEFT, LEFT, LEFT’. Not sure why they can’t see the various arrows that have been put out or the actual road signs that inform all road users of the T junction. And don’t get me started on those that think the drive is their special stopping point for a drink and a chat even though there is a perfectly useable village green across the road.
  10. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-covid-alert-level-posters Don’t know if this helps
  11. I can’t imagine anyone is committing to arranging a face to face winter course this year. Maybe some will plan a remote course via zoom
  12. My Dd made the decision to quit ballet a couple of years ago and follow a different path. She deferred her university place this academic year but we’ve had lots of conversations about those still in vocational training or auditioning for company contracts and how although her year isn’t as planned she does feel she is in a better place than her dance friends
  13. If you don’t feel able to speak to your son’s school about his anxiety please consider investigating private counselling for him. He needs some help with his anxiety. It is unlikely to disappear without support.
  14. I believe Ruth Brill trained at Tring lower school and then ENBS. Joseph Sissens trained at Tring and then RBS. Just two I’m aware of.
  15. I’d never heard of Erdem before today. It says net profit donated but doesn’t say how much that is per mask?
  16. I can’t help with info regarding that particular institution but were you aware that Elmhurst had posted about taking late applicants onto their sixth form course? There is info on their website under the news section
  17. That’s a very stressful situation your Dd is in. Did her school recommend the halls? Would the student support step up and speak to the halls? I did look on the LSCD website and couldn’t find anything regarding a covid policy.
  18. The halls my Dd was offered allowed moving in any time from the beginning of September (without any extra costs) although her start date would have been this Monday. Their thinking was any international students could do the 14 days quarantine if required before the course started and U.K. students wouldn’t all arrive on same day causing crowds of people in corridors and stairways. If students did take up this offer I should imagine they have been mixing socially before term starts.
  19. Term dates seem to vary. Our local university started a week ago. I wonder if one person in your university household is symptomatic are they are then testing the others? A friend who was symptomatic was able to book a test for herself and 3 others of her 6 person household. Turned out her test was negative but one of her asymptotic children was positive.
  20. It does look and sound absolutely grim. My Dd decided to defer her place much earlier in the summer as it was becoming obvious covid wasn’t going anywhere and increasingly the info about her course was that the majority would be taught online and no library access for undergrads and no in person societies. When she let some of her fellow students know that she wouldn’t be joining them this year she was shocked to discover the majority hadn’t researched what was and wasn’t going to be available at the university.
  21. This crossed my mind as had child at university in mainland Europe when the Brexit vote happened. His fees were very low and he could apply for the same benefits as home students. The students from outside the EU paid a lot more for the course.
  22. No just google for them in your area and self refer
  23. Podiatrist might be more helpful than a GP A corn cushion might give relief whilst dancing
  24. I’d contact the RBS as there may be a fault with the website that they’re unaware of and also explain your problem
