The Editor's Small Piece Hello there, I hope you've had a good Christmas break. It seems strange to be writing that, as it is 14th December as I type and for once I'm ahead of the game. This is in part due to festive necessities and in part for some exciting operational reasons (well, exciting to me anyway) that I'll mention below. But unusually it is 6.30am, I've had a good nights sleep and I'm up working at an hour that is, as one of lifes night owls, totally alien to me. Doing things late at night, with the pressure of a deadline, has always been my MO but getting up early and seeing the sky beginning to lighten is, I must say, rather nice. Whether you can truly change your body clock to work to another time pattern however is an issue I'll leave for the scientists - but I suspect that my circadian clock will reprimand me mid-morning for my strange behaviour. For now though I'll enjoy this early start.

The news from our Operations Director (aka me) is that from this month the magazine circulation is increasing from 9,000 to 12,000 copies, and will from now on be delivered to an additional area I've called "north Clifton". That may be cartographically inaccurate but if I say "pretty much everywhere up from Clifton Down, to the west of (and including) Whiteladies Road, as far north of the Downs" you'll hopefully get my drift. This will explain the name change you might have spotted on the front cover (which is as catchy as I can think of at this early hour). And to cope with this extra distribution the Royal Mail are coming on board to help out with deliveries from now on. The short-term downside of using the Royal Mail is that they operate, of necessity, to a much longer "print end to delivery start" lead time than I'm used to, and hence the need to be on time and organised this month. So it has been a bit of a rush getting this issue ready so soon after delivery of your December issue (the one with the robin on), and conseqently content is a little thin this month. However I hope you'll still find the magazine useful and I promise a bumper crop of stuff, with new features, in a chunky February issue. This will go to print on 14th January, so please pop that date in your new digital organisers or paper diaries if you'd like to feature. Here's hoping you have a great start to 2018. Cheers, for now, Andy the Editor. T: 07845 986650 - E: andy@bcmagazines.co.uk 4

Senio r Snippe ts
Tips to prepare your home for Winter
Welcome to the latest edition of Senior Snippets: the monthly advisory column with the older members of our community in mind, brought to you by John Moore, Director of Home Instead Senior Care in North Bristol. In this instalment, I will be sharing some tips that will keep you warm and protect your home from the inevitable cold days of winter. Have your boiler serviced annually: A poorly maintained boiler wastes energy and creates added costs. It also runs the risk of leaking carbon monoxide. So, it’s a good idea to service your boiler every year. Bleed the radiators: A great way to warm up your home is to bleed your radiators. This releases any trapped air, allowing hot water to fill every part of your radiator and warm your home more efficiently. Keep gutters clear: As leaves start falling, gutters and drainpipes will start to get filled with loose foliage. Once the blockage becomes too much, water will start to back up in the guttering and leak into the roof and down the walls of the house. Make sure your gutters are completely free from grime and dirt to minimise water blockage. No entry for draughts: Check the edges of your doors and windows for draughts, and you can either seal these gaps with self-adhesive draught strips, or invest in the many animal shaped draught excluders available. Keep your pipes warm: Burst pipes are common during winter due to rapid freezing and thawing. The best way to stop this from happening is to keep your pipes warm with lagging. This will reduce the heat lost and insulate the pipes to stop them from freezing. Sweep your chimneys: If your chimneys are in use, make sure that they get swept every year to remove the build-up of dirt and grime. We know it can be tough to keep everything in your home running smoothly during the colder months, but hopefully some of these tips will help. If you would like to speak to someone at Home Instead, please do get in touch. Similarly, if you have any ideas for a future topic, please call 0117 989 8210 or email John.Moore@HomeInstead.co.uk - we’d love to hear from you!

Family Law and Divorce What’s Yours Is NOT Mine?
The couple were married for 23 years and had two children. In 2006, the marriage broke down, by which time their assets totalled ÂŁ9.4 million.
Due to the complexity of the process, it is often inevitable that divorcing couples have to seek advice from solicitors and sometimes end up in court when dividing resources. ‘What’s yours is mine’ neatly outlines the legal starting point, that there should be equality between spouses and settlements should be ‘fair’.
What does the law say? The court has to consider a number of factors when dividing the assets. These include the sharing principle, fairness, the parties’ needs, the ages of the parties and the length of the marriage. Contributions to the marriage are also considered, LQFOXGLQJ ¿QDQFHV EXW DOVR IDFWRUV such as raising children.
This makes sense for assets accumulated during marriage, but what about those owned before the marriage? In the absence of a prior agreement, previously owned assets will be thrown in the matrimonial pot to be divided on divorce.
The court’s initial decision Mrs Hart argued that she made a full contribution to the marriage and therefore she deserved half of what her husband, Mr Hart, owned.
However, a recent case indicates that things may be changing, a move away from the ‘sharing principle’ that family lawyers have become accustomed to. Hart v Hart At the start of the marriage, Mr Hart was 48 years old and a wealthy business owner. In the words of his wife, he was ‘a man of substance.’ Mrs Hart, an airhostess, was 27 when they married with no assets of her own except for a Porsche.
The judge, however, departed from the principle of equality and decided that Mrs Hart should not in fact receive half, concluding that ‘an equal division of the assets would be unfair.’ Of the ÂŁ9.4 million accumulated, the judge decided that Mrs Hart would receive ÂŁ3.4 million. Mrs Hart appealed the decision on the basis that: • She had been responsible for raising the children and so had made a full contribution to the marriage. • Due to the length of the marriage (23 years) the pre-marital wealth should form part of the matrimonia pot. The Court of Appeal dismissed her appeal, agreeing with the initial decision that less than half was fair.

be achieved, avoiding both the expense and uncertainty of having to go to court.
What will this mean if you are divorcing? Predicting what each spouse will UHFHLYH RQ GLYRUFH LV YHU\ GLႈFXOW as each case is decided on an individual basis.
VWV’s divorce and family lawyers are all members of Resolution, a body which promotes a nonconfrontational approach to family problems.
Hart v Hart does not mean that the court is going to stop using the sharing principle, but it does show what is ‘fair’ does not necessarily mean half.
Please do get in touch with Samantha Hickman on 0117 314 5435 or at shickman@ vwv.co.uk if you would like further information about our family law services.
Family judges can use a very broad approach in deciding what goes into the matrimonial pot during a divorce. As a result, it is extremely important to obtain legal advice to make sure you are in the best possible place to achieve what you deserve and equally that you don’t end up paying your former spouse too much. If you are in the hands of an experienced practitioner, sensible settlements can usually

At the Cinema Happy End
Written and directed by Michael Haneke Certificate 15 In “Happy End” Michael Haneke returns the familiar territory of families with dark secrets (The White Ribbon) and cruel psychopathic behaviour (Funny Games).The film starts with a pet hamster dying in a cage accompanied by a muffled voice of the presumed killer. The wealthy but dysfunctional Laurent family are going through a series of crises at their home in Calais and for the most part these are of their own making.
In the second scene the family are having dinner in the formal and restrained French style but tensions are not far from the surface. Anne Laurent icily tells her son Pierre to stop drinking all the wine while her frail and demented father George quizzes thirteen year old Eve about why she has just moved in with them. It turns out that Eve’s mother is in coma following an overdose of sedative pills, she later dies. Also at the dinner table are Anne’s brother Thomas who was married to Eve’s mother but has been estranged from his daughter. His charming second wife Anais tries some dinner table small talk but is completely ignored. Anne is the head of the family business, a construction company. It is not doing well and there is an accident at the site leaving an employee seriously injured. Pierre takes it upon himself to go and see the family but he is beaten up by the man’s brother. Justice and retribution in the banlieue is a far cry from Pierre’s naïve middle class view of the world. Anne tries to console her son but the scene ends with her own admission that Pierre is useless.
reading sadomasochistic messages and listening in on phone calls between Thomas and his lover, a musician. This pushes Eve towards an attempt to commit suicide with sedative pills. When Thomas arrives at her hospital bed she tells him that he does not love her, or her mother or Anais. She is probably right but then they do share the same genes. George still wants to commit suicide but lacking the means to do so asks he makes the unlikely assumption that his barber can procure a shotgun. Thomas stupidly asks George to have a talk with Eve thinking that it will help her to understand why she attempted suicide. This does not quite work out, they are both murderers. Eve poisoned her mother and also confesses to harming a school classmate with sedative pills, her preferred modus operandi. George in turn confesses that he smothered his wife when she was terminally ill. Somehow the family manage to rise above it all. Anne organises a party at an expensive restaurant to celebrate her engagement to the lawyer who is dealing with takeover of the family business. She makes a gracious speech and apparently all is well. That is apart from Thomas’s lover mysteriously being at the party to play the cello and even she has a menacing appearance. There is yet more to come. Pierre makes a surprise entrance with a group of black men who are refugees. He starts to introduce them to the “haute societie” of Calais and is only persuaded to stop when Anne dislocates his finger. What a swell party that was. By the end the film the individual members if of the family have all got what they want, including George - with a little help from Eve. A season of Michael Haneke films at the Watershed would be most welcome.
Depressed by his condition George takes a car from the basement and crashes into a tree in a failed suicide attempt. Eve has been secretly

Gardening Tips from Hilary Barber A Very Happy New Year to you all.
cloche.
I would like to quote David Buck from a report called Gardens and Health. “It is clear that gardens can touch every part of our lives…providing multiple pathways to health gain, recovery and solace through achievement, activity and social contact”
8. Prune blackcurrant, whitecurrant, redcurrant and gooseberry bushes. 9. Don't forget the birds, especially if the ground is still frozen - leave water and food outside for them. Do look at top tips for December for more wildlife tips
Make it your 2018 aim to enjoy the social and health benefits of gardening
10 If it's frozen outside, start planning your vegetable rotations, and your borders for the coming year - more about this in the next issue.
1. If you haven't planted your last tulip bulbs, do so this month, as long as they are firm - writing these top tips in mid December, I think I shall be doing that
11. Bare root and root ball trees and shrubs, and bareroot hedges can be planted up until March. And don’t forget bareroot shrub and climbing roses.
2. If you haven't done so already, cut off all old leaves of Helleborus orientalis to show off the beautiful flowers (this is not just cosmetic but it stops the new flowers and leaves getting Hellebore leaf spot).
12. Sharpen and oil your tools, and get your lawn mower serviced - it will make all the difference to the new growth of your lawn.
3. This month you can prune apple, pear and quince (pipped fruit) trees, figs, acers, silver birch and vines (vines must be done in the first half of the month, because sap starts rising quickly and they can 'bleed'). 4. If you have not recycled your Christmas tree you could shred it for mulch and or keep the needles as a mulch for ericaceous (lime intolerant) plants such as Camellias and Rhododendrons. 5. This month you can repair and reshape lawn edges, but wait until March to sow seed, or to lay turf. 6. Dig over any areas (and incorporate well rotted compost or manure) where you are going to re-plant and let the frost do its work by breaking up the soil 7. You can start forcing rhubarb using a 23

Coaching with Anne Miller add to the list. It’s not all bad so you must be doing some stuff well Keep going; build an even bigger list, think about all the different aspects of your life. If it feels strange or indulgent, you’re not doing it enough
Start the New Year on a High New Year And I bet you thought this article was going to be about New Year resolutions or setting goals- sorry to disappoint, but it’s not
You don’t need to share any of this of course, that really wouldn’t go down well in our society But allowing yourself to reflect in this way reminds you of your resourcefulness and what’s important to you. And when you feel resourceful and you know what’s important to you, you will be motivated to take actions that make things even better- and then it will happen with more ease. This isn’t about accepting sloppiness or laziness and it’s about more than appreciating what you have, it’s about appreciating yourself and all that you have to offer. When you focus on your strengths and achievements you will create a ‘can do’ attitude - and who wouldn’t want one of those?
Coaching isn’t all about setting goals and focusing on what you should be doing or doing better. It’s certainly not about making you feel guilty or pushing you into doing something differently. There really is no point in setting goals or creating New Year resolutions that are not realistic or are not well thought out. In fact this works against us as we inevitably give up or ‘fail’ and then feel badly about ourselves So if you’ve been thinking “I really ought to…” stop Give yourself a break, if you’re still at the ‘ought’ stage it won’t work anyway

Talking Pets with the Animal Health Centre As the New Year begins, once again we will have made resolutions for ourselves, which we may or may not be able to keep. Perhaps now is a good time to resolve for our pets too? Here are a few ideas to help... Weight loss. We often do not spot the trend of our pets gaining weight as they age, they do not have the experience of clothes being too tight after Christmas as we do. However it is easier for dogs and cats to gain weight in the winter while they are less active. So make it a resolution to book in for a free nurse clinic for a weight check and advice on how to cut the calories before it is too late Vaccination. Annual boosters are necessary for dogs, cats and rabbits. Now is the time to check the vaccination certificate to enter the due date on your new calendar. If allowed to lapse too long before a booster then a restart course is necessary and that can be expensive. Flea treatment. Although in theory the fleas season is at its quietest at this time of year, in reality with cosy centrally heated homes we now see fleas year round. So don’t drop your guard and stock up on flea products and mark up your calendar with due dates. Most effective flea products are dosed monthly, the new prescription flea collars
last 8 months so applying one of those now will keep you in control for most of the year Worming. Dogs and cats need regular worm doses both for their own health and for ours too, particularly in households with small children. We recommend worming every 3 months with a complete wormer. Come in or phone us to ask about text or email reminders for your routine worming Insurance. One of those things that we often think about but may never get around to doing until it is too late. Once your pet has any condition, even if minor and temporary, it cannot be insured for that complaint and an exclusion is applied to your policy. Now is the time to insure your pet while he or she is healthy to get the maximum out of your cover. Again please call in for more information and recommendations about insurance. Microchipping. If your pet is still not microchipped then we would very strongly advise it, we see so many lost and strayed pets each year brought in to be reunited with their owners once we scanned their chip. If your pet already has a chip then why not check that the registered details are accurate as so often owners move house or change phone number and forget to update the database. Please give us a call at the practice for advice on any of the above 0117 9247832 We wish all of our patients and clients a healthy 2018, from all of us at Animal Health Centre.

Music - now and then Album of the Month Wrong Creatures by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (Abstract Dragon Records) To listen to the eighth album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is to remember why you first fell for them back in 2001. Though original drummer Nick Jago has long been replaced with Leah Shapiro, there’s a scuzzy feeling to Wrong Creatures that reconnects with the punky space-rock of their self-titled debut. That’s not to say this is a replica, but the songs are imbued with a similar spirit. Once the atmospheric DFF has faded away you’re faced with two propulsive floor-shakers in Spook and King of Bones. The latter’s sludgy groove is particularly entrancing, especially when cut through by the piercing guitar line. Ever since the days of Spread Your Love and Whatever Happened to My Rock N Roll (Punk Song) BRMC have had a knack for this type of bristling outburst. The long-lasting influence of early Verve and Spiritualized has meant that the band have always been able to reduce the heat and let things simmer when a tempo shift is needed. The ever so slightly U2'ish Echo provides such a moment, allowing for some introspection and sonic questioning.
Next Step Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space by Spiritualized (Dedicated) The debt owed by BRMC to Spiritualized is well-known and often acknowledged, making this month’s next step something of a no-brainer. The third album by Jason Pierce J .Spaceman and his band remains their most accessible and the true masterpiece of their disjointed career. The deep wall of noise that encased this 1997 album wasn’t quite enough to hide the hurt and uncertainty at its core. Pierce’s romance with keyboardist Kate Radley had recently ended and he was deep into a heroin addiction during its creation. Those themes shone through in lyrics such as the title track’s “All I want in life’s a little bit of love” or “I’m told that this will heal, given time” from the devastating Broken Heart and added extra weight to songs already loaded with feeling. Even without the personal undercurrent running through it, there was enough invention to keep listeners engrossed. From the vitriolic Come Together right through to the 17-minute closing epic Cop Shoot Cop, Spiritualized delivered an album that took the shoegaze template and launched it into the atmosphere, inspiring a generation of fellow sonic adventurers in the process.
Gig of the Month Steel Panther @ O2 Academy Saturday 27th January What better way to rid yourself of those January Blues than an evening in the company of X-rated (mock) rock megastars There is the odd surprise too, just enough to Steel Panther. The Los prove that that the trio still have some new ideas Angeles band are heading up their leather sleeves. Little Thing Gone Wild to the O2 as part of their finds them in country-garage mode and Circus Lower The Bar tour, these Bazooko takes the listener on a dizzying carousel crude hair-metallers aren’t for the fainthearted, ride worthy of the song’s title. From start to finish but for those who are in on the joke a night in the this is the ideal reminder of BRMC’s dishevelled company of Michael Starr, Satchel, Lexxi Foxx and charm. Stix Zadina is just the thing to blow the cobwebs away. Duncan Haskell 35 Frontman guitarist Peter Hayes has said in recent interviews that much of the album came together during lengthy jam sessions and there’s a clear sense of those origins on the swelling Calling Them Away with its meditative meanderings.
Computer Corner with Mrs PC New Year’s resolutions Hope that you have all had a great Christmas and New Year. It’s so refreshing to take a break from work, technology and screens to see friends and family. Technology seems to have encroached a lot in my life, and I have begun wondering if it’s always a good thing. Our family are great fans of board games and jigsaw puzzles. It is a relaxing way to spend time together. There is also nothing better than a winter walk, all wrapped up against the cold. I have always preferred to read a book rather than watch TV. My best memories don’t involve a screen or computer. It’s not to say that I don’t enjoy my job The best bit about what I do is meeting and helping people. Face to face interaction is so important in our lives. In a world where everyone seems busier, and people multitask all the time for example texting while walking; I wonder if it’s good for you to be so glued to a screen, whatever size it is. When I see couples having dinner in a restaurant and both of them are engaged with their mobile phones, and scarcely talking, or people almost being run over because they are so unaware of their surroundings. It makes me think about technology and it’s impact on our lives. Perhaps it is not always a good thing. A few times recently I have left my phone at home, albeit accidentally, when going out. I didn’t miss having it, and there was nothing momentous that needed my attention when I returned. I felt that I could focus more on the moment without a phone to distract me. If you were looking for a New Year’s resolution, and hadn’t thought about what you could do differently this year, you could try having time away from a screen. Leave your phone behind at times, or turn it to silent. Maybe even turn off the Wi-Fi at home for a period of time or have a day off technology every week. It’s worth a thought.
them up by deleting anything you don’t need. We take so many photos on our phones, and they take up a lot of space, so that would be the first thing I would suggest that you attend to. Make sure that they are backed up, wherever you keep your photos, but don’t keep so many on your phone. Move them to a cloud based storage area, onto a computer or external drive. You can also clean up any apps that you aren’t using.
Deleting old emails is another way of clearing space on your devices. On laptops you can also clear out any documents you no longer need, delete your downloads, remove any programmes you aren’t using and empty your bin. Many of my clients are stressed out by their technology because they don’t feel in control of it. I hope that I can make a difference by demystifying what they see, explaining it, so that they can relax and feel more confident with what they are doing. There are many shortcuts that can be put in place to make the experience less troublesome. Passwords cause more problems than anything else. My last suggestion for a new year’s resolution is to ensure that all passwords are written down in a safe place. The most important ones are the password to unlock your device, the one for your email, and if you are an Apple user, your Apple ID. Wishing you all a happy new year and stress free computing.

Another good resolution would be to do some housekeeping on your devices. It is a really common problem to run out of storage on phone, tablet and computer because they contain too much stuff. It is pretty boring, but you can clean

It’s all about walking If you enjoy walking for leisure and exercise, and you would like to walk with other people led by an experienced leader, then you might consider walking with Bristol Ramblers. One of the largest walking groups in the country, Bristol Ramblers is part of ‘The Ramblers’, a national walking organisation. Bristol Ramblers provides an impressive programme of around 300 walks a year, all with a leader. Many of these are on Sundays, but there are also Saturday and midweek walks, and evening walks in the Summer. Walks vary from a few miles over flat terrain to 15 miles of hard hillwalking in the Brecon Beacons, and although most are in the countryside there are also some town walks. In short, something for everyone. Although to become a regular walker with the group you would need to join The Ramblers, you are welcome to come on three walks at no cost and no commitment. So, if you are interested, why not take a look at our programme on http: www.bristolramblers. org.uk .
Sunday walks are often outside Bristol and
sometimes as far afield as South Wales, Exmoor, or Salisbury Plain, but you do not have to be a car owner to enjoy these walks as there is a central meeting point in Bristol, where car-sharing is organised. Sometimes public transport is used, but this is often not feasible, and a couple of times a year coach trips are arranged. Bristol Ramblers also organises holidays ranging from long weekends to whole weeks away, usually in Britain, but occasionally abroad.
Bristol Ramblers is not only about organising and leading walks. We put a lot of effort into improving footpaths and developing walking routes inside Bristol and further afield into areas where Bristolians may wish to go walking. In addition, Bristol Ramblers is involved in campaigning for improved parks and open spaces in Bristol, an uphill struggle in these times of austerity. If you feel that you would like to become involved in anything mentioned in this article, please take a look at the Bristol Ramblers website (www.bristolramblers. org.uk ) or contact Carew at secretary@ bristolramblers.org.uk. 41
