I haven't seen any of you for months due to having school run commitments, but might come along next week if you're meeting (with my big kids in tow too). From September both of my older children will be at school full time so it will be easier for me to meet up with Kate. Hard to believe my winter baby is 6 months old today!

A sheepish mail to let you know if you're TV watching tonight, I have the grand total of one line that I filmed whilst secretly pregnant with Jonah, in a BBC1 drama, Bert and Dickie, at 8.30 pm tonight, about the 1948 Olympic rowing team success, with Matt Smith aka Doctor Who in the lead role. It's a good drama and you will need a very keen eye to spot me - about halfway through, in a scene set in the Olympic organisers office. I'm first in shot, and glamourously named Helper One. I imagine you have more chance of spotting my name in the end credits! For me it's a big toss up between watching that and Superstar on ITV, which I'm shamefully addicted to!


See some of you tomorrow for the Olympic torch event.

Hi Lindsay - Sounds great! Will try and spot you tonight if Jeanne lets us...it's a bit difficult to put her in bed at the moment, I think because she's teething but we never really know what's going on with these little ones... When and where are you meeting tomorrow for the olympic torch event... I won't have Jeanne tomorrow as she's at the nursery but was thinking of going anyway so I'd rather do it with you guys.

Ooh how exciting! I'll make sure I catch it on iplayer in the morning!


Shameless plug alert - if anyone is looking for child care from September I can recommend a great nanny with her own child (at Heber nursery in the mornings) who is available for 3-4 days and has experience of working nanny shares. PM me if you want any further info.


See you tomorrow at petitou Loren, look forward to seeing you - anyone else up for it?

Hello,


Anyone up for meeting tomorrow? I haven't been able to make the last few weeks so have been missing out! We have allergy testing in the morning so I'm thinking any good distractions in the afternoon might help my grumpy baby get through the day...

Allo - we'll be along for a speed gossip before picking up Albster. Will be nearer three as J still asleep and very randomly I'm in the middle of making soup for Alb's tea. Never made any of any description before - cakes I understand, but soup?! Only explanation is chronic sleep deprivation induced weirdness! X

Hello,


As there is a new lot of Winter Babies due now, a few of us were thinking about moving on to a facebook group so that we can share details and photos etc as well as leaving the board with just one Winter Babies Club to minimise confusion.


So far we have done it through word of mouth when we meet up, but there are a number of people who came to the meet ups when pregnant but haven't been to any since and who may be following the thread. One of the best things about having the forum baby clubs is that they are open to all, and I wanted to let people who haven't been able to meet up know that there is still the opportunity to meet up even if the thread has gone quiet.


It can be found through this link https://www.facebook.com/groups/425802494124436/ or by searching for Winter Babies Club on facebook.

    • Direct link to joint statement : https://thehaguegroup.org/meetings-bogota-en/?link_id=2&can_id=2d0a0048aad3d4915e3e761ac87ffe47&source=email-pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogota-breakthrough&email_referrer=email_2819587&email_subject=pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogot_-breakthrough&&   No. 26 | The Bogotá Breakthrough “The era of impunity is over.” That was the message from Bogotá, Colombia, where governments from across the Global South and beyond took the most ambitious coordinated action since Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza began 21 months ago. Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
