Pets Corner

Dog Grooming

hese dog owners spend more on their pets' grooming than themselves - are they barking mad?" the title of the article read in the MailOnline in June 2014. Until quite recently, dog grooming in this country hasn’t been very popular, but British consumers are increasingly spending more on their animals and grooming salons don’t seem so alien any more. There are different types of salons, most commonly the static salon, which doubles as a shop for pet accessories, clothing, treats and food. Then there is the groomer who grooms from their own home, usually a summer house in the garden, the mobile groomer who comes to your own house and grooms the dogs in the comfort of your own home. And last but not least, the mobile salon, which normally is a fully converted van, with all the mod cons of a salon (heater, warm hydro bath, blaster dryer, electric grooming table, etc ) – only on wheels! No mess in your own house. The salon comes to you, hooks up to the power supply and the dogs are groomed inside the van. This is especially good for older or more nervous dogs, and for owners who have a busy schedule and like the convenience. Things have changed a lot in the last few years, as our furry little friends become more than just a pet, they are considered a family member whom we love and spoil, as if they were our kids. Also new breeds are introduced all the time, such as the fashionable Poodle cross breeds (Cockapoos, Cavapoos, Labradoodles, etc) These dogs tend to have a coat that grows relatively quickly and need regular grooming. Letting the coat get tangled is not only uncomfortable for the pet, but it is also a health hazard as the tangles and matts can get so tight that the skin cannot breathe, creating skin sores and painful conditions, the matts pull on the skin, causing discomfort and irritation. Grooming is not all about giving the dogs a nice haircut and making the dogs look and smell good. The professional groomer examines the dog’s general health. Eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, gums, skin and coat condition are checked prior to grooming. Many conditions are picked up and the owners alerted before they become a medical emergency.

A warm bath using a good quality dog shampoo will rid your furry friend of harmful parasites and germs and it will greatly improve their mental state too. Anyone who has taken their dog to be groomed knows how “proud” the dogs are when they are being picked up after their session. Besides their skin, the dog's nails are also important to consider. Overgrown nails can affect the structure of the feet, causing deformation of the toes. Grooming salons offer numerous packages, such as the full groom, bath and brush, nail clipping & ear cleaning, handstripping and special puppy packages. Dogs should be groomed once every 6-8 weeks, depending on the coat type and condition. However, it is also very important that in between professional grooming sessions, you regularly comb and brush your dog. Grooming your dog on a weekly basis is a good way to bond with them. It's good to start at an early age with these frequent grooming sessions so he or she can get use to them. Many dogs actually enjoy and appreciate their owner grooming them. They look upon it as a way of expressing affection – almost as though you are “petting” them with the comb and brush. Remember, a clean dog is a happy dog!

Hectic Host

Fireside Fun

t is that time of year when we move the party indoors and start to cocoon with family and friends, as the evenings get longer and the fire becomes ever more tempting. Having spent the summer flitting from one social event to another the winter provides a comforting sanctuary where the only pressure is to relax and enjoy the company. In front of the fire the conversation flows and friends we have known for years become even greater ones. It is for those very evenings that it is always a good idea to have a few icebreakers on the back burner – it never a good idea to too heavily grill a new guest – and sometimes even the closet groups need a little conversational inspiration, especially if the alcohol is flowing too. A favourite game of mine I played in my youth and is one our friends used to call ‘Machiavelli’ – presumably as the founder of modern political science was one of the hardest subjects to guess. When checking online to see if we were playing by the standard recognised rules I found no mention of it, instead it seems to be called now the rather less glamorous Post-it Note Game. In, and on, my head it will remain ‘Machiavelli’. At the start of the game players write the name of a famous personality, alive or dead, on a Post-it Note and apply it to the forehead of the person sitting next to them. One player starts by asking a question to which the response may only be ‘yea’ or ‘no’. The usual first starter is ‘am I alive?’ Questions are asked until the answer is ‘no’ at which stage the next player starts. The scope for hilarity is huge and the opportunities for a little subtle leg pulling are enormous; but like your Whiskey Sour, it is probably best taken with a pinch of salt.

And for that time of the evening when even the thought of trying to remember the name of that existential philosopher or the dead dog from EastEnders fills you with horror, then a simple game of Wink Murder will stop the party flagging. A number of folded Post-it Notes equal to the number of guests are placed in a hat (why do we always say hat, has anyone ever been anywhere where an actual hat had been used? In fact, it would be most odd if anyone suddenly produced one halfway through a soiree). The Post-it Notes are all blank apart from one, which nominates the recipient as the detective. Players must subversively wink at their victims without detection. It’s not quite as suspenseful as an episode of The Fall but it has its merits and its plays out a lot quicker.

Whiskey Sour 50 ml of whiskey, 25 ml of freshly squeezed lemon juice, half a teaspoon of sugar, an egg white and a pinch of salt. Shake all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and pour into a tumbler filled with ice. Serve with a slice of orange. 12 | SE23 - November 2016

Food & Drink with Suzanne James

Chilli Con Carne A fantastic alternative to traditional chilli. Serves 4

Ingredients • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

1 tbsp oil 1 large onion 1 red pepper 2 garlic cloves, peeled 1 heaped tsp hot chilli powder 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp ground cumin 500g lean minced beef 1 beef stock cube/ home made stock 1 can chopped tomatoes 1 tsp sugar 2 tbsp tomato puree 400g red kidney beans 400 diced chorizo

Serve with Soured Cream, Guacamole, Tortilla Chips, Jacket Potatoes, or Brown Rice.

Method Prepare your vegetables; Dice 1 large onion, Cut 1 red pepper in half lengthways, remove stalk and wash the seeds away, then chop. Peel and finely chop 2 garlic cloves. Put your pan on the hob over a medium heat. Add the oil and leave it for 1-2 minutes until hot. Add the onions & the Chorizo and cook, stirring fairly frequently until the onions are soft, squidgy and slightly translucent. Tip in the garlic, red pepper, one heaped teaspoon hot chilli powder or one level tablespoon mild chilli powder, one teaspoon paprika and one teaspoon ground cumin. Give it a good stir, then leave it to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Brown the 500g lean minced beef. Turn the heat up a bit, add the meat to the pan and break it up with your spoon or spatula. Keep stirring and prodding for at least 5 minutes, until all the mince is in uniform, mince-sized lumps and there are no more pink bits. Make sure you keep the heat hot enough for the meat to fry and become brown, rather than just stew. Crumble one beef stock cube or use homemade stock into 300ml hot water. Pour this into the pan with the mince mixture. Open one 400g can of 14 | SE23 - November 2016

chopped tomatoes and add these as well. Tip in ∞ teaspoon dried marjoram and 1 teaspoon sugar, if using and add a good shake of salt and pepper. Add about two tablespoons of tomato purée and stir the sauce well. Simmer gently. Bring the whole thing to the boil, give it a good stir and put a lid on the pan. Turn down the heat until it is gently bubbling and leave it for 20 minutes. You should check on the pan occasionally to stir the mixture and make sure the sauce doesn’t catch on the bottom of the pan, and also that it isn’t drying out. Add some water if it is catching. After simmering gently, the mixture should look thick, moist and juicy. Drain and rinse one 410g can of red kidney beans in a sieve and stir them into the chilli pot. Bring to the boil again, and gently simmer without the lid for another 10 minutes, adding a little more water if it looks too dry. Chilli Con Carne can be served with rice, baked potato or mash potato! The perfect winter warmer on a chilly November evening!

What's On - November Friday 11 – Sunday 13 November: Dulwich Literary Festival – The Way We Live Now Our festival takes its theme from the Anthony Trollope novel The Way We Live Now. First published in book form in 1875, Trollope’s novel was inspired by the financial scandals of the early 1870s. The author had returned to England from Australia and sought to express his shock and disgust at the extent to which greed and corruption had become systemic in the spheres of politics, commerce, journalism and diplomacy. In 2016, as the world trains its gaze towards the centenary of the Russian Revolution of 1917, it seems fitting to re-examine Trollope’s exposé of British society, rich in satire and drama, and to compare and contrast it to how we live today. With some of UK’s best-known names in politics, fiction, poetry and history on the adult programme, we also have a series of children’s events to entertain and delight. dulwichliteraryfestival.co.uk

For our autumn concert, the Concordia Chamber Choir is proud to bring together, in exciting combination, two composers of the first rank. One is a household name, the other slightly lesser known; one from the 18th century, the other still alive in the 21st. What links Johann Sebastian Bach and Arvo Pärt is their miraculous musical interpretations of the scriptures. The first half of the concert will feature several of Pärt’s dynamic, contemporary religious pieces including a Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis; the second is taken up with Bach’s unique, magisterial Magnificat in which the choir will have the great pleasure of being accompanied by the South Circular Orchestra. We hope you’ll be able to join us for an evening of soaring beauty and deep spirituality which will confirm, once again, Concordia’s reputation as one of south London’s most prestigious choirs. The performance is at 7:30 pm on Saturday 19th November 2016 at All Saints’ Church, Lovelace Rd, SE21 8JY. Tickets for CCC’s 2016 Autumn Concert cost £12 at the door, or £11 in advance.

Garden Talk

Euphorbia euphoria

've grown to appreciate euphorbias more and more. Their slightly exotic-looking foliage adds strong evergreen structure to a garden, but it’s their brilliant lime green flowers in spring and early summer that really wow and look amazing with purples and blues. There are many varieties to choose from, whether for height or ground cover, sun or shade. Here’s my pick of the best.

I The biggies E. mellifera. This is perfect if you want a bold architectural plant in your garden – it reaches up to 2m. The attractive bright green evergreen leaves are complemented in spring by rusty orange, honey-scented flowers (mellifera is Latin for honey- bearing). Try it with large leaved plants for an exotic look or bold pinks, oranges or reds. It likes full sun or partial shade.

E. x pasteurii This is a good choice if you want something with the virtues of mellifera – exotic long leaves, (though slightly darker green) as well as orangey flowers in early summer, but in a more compact form.

E. characias wulfenii You see this euphorbia a lot, and it’s popular for a reason. It’s has a useful upright shape, with tall stems of grey green leaves providing year interest that look great with silvers and purples. In early spring it has fabulous billowing lime green flowers that perfectly complement purple plants such as Erysimum ‘Bowles Mauve’ or alliums. Sun loving and drought tolerant once established it’s perfect for a Mediterranean-style garden. E. characias ‘Black Pearl’ with dark black eyes in the middle of yellow flower heads is a more unusual option, or for a more silvery colour-scheme try E. characias 'Silver Swam' with a white leaf margins and mainly white flowers.

sunny border and will tolerate part shade. It looks amazing with blues, such as Iris ‘Jane Phillips’ or Salvia nemerosa ‘Caradonna’.

E. ceratocarpa This is another euphorbia to add zingy acid green to the garden throughout the summer – March to July.

E. x martini What’s striking about this euphorbia are the redeyed flowers from March until late June, which can be picked out with other dark red/pink early flowering perennials such as aquilegia.

III Shade lovers E. amygdaloides var. robbiae Fab for brightening up a shady spot, this low growing (60cm) euphorbia is one of the earliest to flower, with dark glossy green leaves and fresh lime green flower that look great with ferns or early flowering geraniums such as ‘Brookside’. It’s useful ground cover for a tricky spot, but can be a bit invasive, so keep an eye on it.

E. amygdaloides ‘Purpurea’ This variety also has dark glossy leaves and bright green flowers in early spring but with crimson stems. It’s also a low growing shade lover.

A word of warning The stems have a milky sap that can be a skin irritant, so wear gloves and long sleeves. Wash off immediately if you do get some on your hands. Euphorbias do have a tendency to spread or self seed - some more than others, but they’re easy enough to weed. All part of the plant are highly toxic so avoid if you have pets and be aware if you have small children.

II Lower growing E. palustris With its fresh green foliage and mass of bright green flowers throughout the summer months, this rounded compact euphorbia is great for a 22 | SE23 - November 2016

Financial Matters

Can you profit from investing ethically?

hat is more important to you when you invest money? Your principles or your profits? The term “Ethical Investment” in itself has been considered an oxymoron for many years. Is it possible to have your cake and eat it by making profits through ethical investing? One theory is that companies making a positive contribution to the world, people and wildlife run less of a risk of rows with regulators and governments, all if which can have a detrimental effect on a company’s share price. BP’s well documented environmental disasters are one such example of the consequences of irresponsible social action. Environmentally conscious firms should therefore have better long term prospects, thereby leading to sustainable profits.

How to invest?

The most popular route to investing ethically is through a managed fund, via an investment vehicle like a stocks and shares ISA or personal pension. These operate in the same way as conventional managed funds, in that they purchase a basket of shares in a chosen sector. However before making a decision to invest in a company’s shares, an ethical fund manager will run checks on the company to find out if it has interests in a number of positive and negative criteria. Here are some of them: Examples of positive criteria: • Companies involved in pollution control • Companies involved in conservation and recycling measures • Companies or organisations that promote ethical employment practices • Companies that promote sustainability including mitigating climate change Examples of negative criteria: • Companies involved in armaments and nuclear weapons manufacture • Companies involved in animal exploitation and testing • Alcohol and tobacco promotion • Companies that participate in or promote gambling, and or pornography 26 | SE23 - November 2016

How ethical is ethical? This can be a contentious issue. For example, on the face of it, a bio technical company working on a cure for cancer may appear ethical. However, what that very company gets involved in testing drugs on animals? Another example may be a company that makes long-life batteries for non-polluting electric cars, however pollutes the environment to a significant extent in the process of manufacture. There is always the risk that having too strict criteria could result in a poorly balanced portfolio at best. The worst case scenario would be having no companies left to invest in!

What sort of return can you expect? Many ethical funds operate on the higher end of the risk spectrum. This is because to invest in ethical companies, you need to buy their shares resulting in a high equity weighting. Ethical funds invest in other asset classes such as bonds and property but the share content may well be heavily weighted in smaller companies. As a result, you can expect some volatility and should get a financial adviser to assess the risk of the fund before you invest. Historically, ethical funds have lagged behind conventional funds in performance, partly because of choice limitations and because the vetting process can take some time to go through. Analysts have commented that by the time an ethical fund is ready to invest, the horse has already bolted! This is changing. Advances in technology and superior market intelligence means ethical funds are able to vet companies and make decisions much more quickly resulting in superior returns. More recently, some ethical funds have out-performed conventional funds. This is happened by shunning the oil and gas sector, which has been hit hard by the monumental drop in the oil price. So can you have your cake and eat it too? Sure you can. Just make sure you vet that cake well before biting. Akwasi Duodu akwasi@sterlingandlaw.com www. sterlingandlaw.com
