Look, It's late and I'm a bit too knackered to abuse you properly, so tell me who you bleeding think you are so you can sod off! MORTE [trying to get his spooky back on] I'm... death. MAGGIE Pull the other one - it spits. MORTE No, really. I'm... death. MAGGIE Always thought you'd be Welsh. So what are you doing swotting around here? I'm not dead. The infernal pinging thing says so. MORTE But you are old [spooky] ...and dying. MAGGIE [getting mad] So they keep fucking telling me, but I've never been one for following orders. If you're really the angel of death, why are you wearing such a for-fucks-sake ugly suit? And where's your bleeding scythe? Can't be death without a jolly great scythe, can you, now? MORTE Oh, please - this is the 21st century. MAGGIE First piece of sense to come out of your festering gob, you git. Now bugger off - I'm knackered, but I'm not ready for the tip yet.

MAGGIE [into phone] No, that's not a cop - just some prat trying to sell me life insurance. Are you Spike? MORTE You're really going to just ignore me? MAGGIE Hold on. [hand over phone] Sorry, didn't mean to leave you hanging like that. You're right, I should finish with you before making my calls. So if you would kindly FUCK OFF? Good. [back to phone] God, these bleeding salesmen. They're like some damn pet pekingese - no balls but still won't stop humping once they get a grip on your leg. MORTE Well, I- I-I- never! MAGGIE Spike?

SOUND DOOR SWINGS SHUT NURSEY Ready for a nice litle family chat. MAGGIE Just ignore her. [deep breath] They say you're going home soon. JEMMA I'm all right.

MAGGIE [getting a bit annoyed] Won't walk into any more fists, more like. JEMMA [upset, "not in front of the nurse"] Mum! MAGGIE She's heard worse. Haven't you, snowball? NURSEY [affirming, acerbic] From you alone. MAGGIE [snort of laughter, then serious] So, when can I kill him? JEMMA What? MAGGIE That cocksucker husband of yours. JEMMA Mother! MAGGIE You can't say you don't want him dead. Bertha keeps pissing on and on about my hospital record - you're leagues ahead of me. Between the times he's knocked you up and the times he's knocked you down, it's amazing they don't just name a suite for you and give you your own key. JEMMA [crying] He doesn't mean to-- MAGGIE [losing it] Doesn't mean to! What, he was cleaning his swotting great fist and it went off!? Or the other part - dearie, you get preggers every time that arsehole even wanks in your direction. You'd be much better off without him. JEMMA He loves me. MAGGIE Oh, god - we are not having this discussion again. JEMMA And we have eight children to look after - nine, soon. MAGGIE [softer again] It's all right then? JEMMA [barely able to talk] Yes. MAGGIE Jems, that son of a syphilitic whore punched you - punched a pregnant woman, let alone a pregnant woman he claims to care for - in the bloody stomach. JEMMA [breaks into tears] NURSEY Oh, look at the time. Come along Maggie, musn't be late on your pills! MAGGIE [yelling as they leave] Get it through your sodding thick skull - He DID MEAN IT!

SOUND CURTAIN PULLED ASIDE MAGGIE [disgusted noise] Oh, it's just you. Piss off. MORTE I told you I would return. MAGGIE And take my soul blah blah blah. I have you sussed, you wanker. MORTE Sussed? I already told you - I'm death. MAGGIE Right. And I have a daughter who would like nothing more than to have her dear old mum babbling on about meeting death in the flesh - all so she can have me declared non compos and shoved away in some shithole of a home while she sends all my odds and sods to auction "on my behalf". Piss off, and tell her she can piss off too. SATAN [explosive laugh] MORTE See? I told you. MAGGIE Told me what? You're not making sense, the curtain is laughing like a drain, and I'm not that stoned. SOUND CURTAIN OPENS FURTHER WITH A DRAMATIC SWEEP MORTE She surely is the most frightful woman I've seen in years. SATAN I like it. MAGGIE And who are you supposed to be? Revival of the Rocky Horror show? SATAN [laughs harder] MORTE He's the devil. MAGGIE Well I knew he wasn't a doctor - not dressed like that. [sigh] SATAN [laughing subsides] MAGGIE Are you done? I wouldn't want to waste a good insult on you when you can't hear it properly. SATAN [chuckles, but stops himself] Go on. MAGGIE Dressed like that, you look like Sir Elton John vomited all over you. SATAN [chuckles] MAGGIE And I suspect that'd be rare, since he's probably got a strong gag reflex. SATAN [a moment, then a gasp as he gets it, then uproarious laughter] MAGGIE Told you it was a good one. [joins in] MORTE I don't get it. MAGGIE Oh, god. You need to loosen the fuck up. [evil chuckle] Here. Have a brownie. MORTE A brownie? Ooh. Chocolate is my weakness. SOUND RATTLE OF PLASTIC MAGGIE Death and chocolate - imagine that. How about you, Gary Glitter? SATAN Well, if you're offering. [They munch for a minute] MORTE Interesting [licks his lips, speculatively] ...aftertaste. MAGGIE Old family recipe. The maniac bakes them for me. Don't tell the nurse - she's already thirteen stone. MORTE [snorts] Oh goodness! SATAN [giggles uncontrollably] SOUND CELL PHONE RINGS MAGGIE Scuse me for a minute, will you? [they murmur assent] SOUND PHONE ACTIVATED MAGGIE Yeah? Is this Spike? Then who the bloody hell-- [pleased] Really? MORTE [confiding, but loopy] Shouldn't have mobile in hospital. SATAN Might call for help? [they both laugh] MAGGIE You up for it, then? More the merrier, I always say. [beat] Oh, dead may be overkill, but I wouldn't shed any tears. Mostly I'd prefer him unable to fuck, or walk for at least a year - no, never again on the first - can you manage that? SATAN [awed] What? Did I hear you--? MAGGIE Shut it. [on phone] Candy striper. You know, one of those new homosexual ones. [back on topic] So, you can handle it? SATAN I'll have you know-- MAGGIE [covers phone] Everyone knows you swing both ways - the devil can fuck with anyone. SATAN Well [trying not to laugh], if you put it that way [bursts into hilarity again] MAGGIE Great - when? [upset] Weekend? Not sooner? They'll be sending her home tomorrow! MORTE I thought you were talking about a man? Who you don't want to be able to-- MAGGIE Fine. [annoyed] I'll try and get out of here too, then shall I? No I bloody well can't talk them into letting her stay-- MORTE --to [uncomfortable] "do it"-- SATAN Just say "fuck." MORTE [affronted] No. SATAN Come on, I dare you. MAGGIE Shut up or piss off. I'm almost finished. [into phone] Saturday night, then? Call me Thursday, same time, and I'll say where. Brilliant. SOUND PHONE OFF MORTE So is it? MAGGIE Is it what, arse-face? MORTE Is it a man or a woman? SATAN He means who are you talking on the phone about? MAGGIE I've got some friends of a-- MORTE --questionable moral character? MAGGIE Well, they do call themselves the Bastards of Carnage, so that might be a clue - Anyway, I've arranged will ... have a chat with ... my daughter's oozing sore of a so-called husband. MORTE And you don't want him to be able to-- MAGGIE And they won't be as kind as a vetrinarian. SATAN Well! [lip smacking noises] Have you any more of those brownies? MUSIC AMB MAGGIE'S ROOM KEV I hear they're letting you go? MAGGIE They have to get sick of me eventually. KEV Are you doing all right? Really? MAGGIE Healthy as a horse. [sighs] One of those swayback cartoon nags with glue factory stamped on them. You know what your evil bitch of a mother is trying to do to me? KEV Would it be so bad? MAGGIE Et tu, wanker? KEV No! I'm really just curious. MAGGIE Well, quite apart from the horrors of loss of control over your life, the fact that they will likely frown on my extensive collection of filthy artwork, and having to obey people whose nappies I might have changed, it's the piss. KEV Piss? MAGGIE At your age, piss is still romantic. Getting yourself well and truly pissed, pissing in the snow, nasty piss-scented alleys where you buy happy little packages - piss hasn't lost its shine. KEV Oh? MAGGIE By the time you get old, piss is the thing you fear the most. Your own, someone else's - fuck death, fuck the devil, if there was a sodding god of piss we'd all be sacrificing virgin sheep to him just to make him stay the fuck away. That's what those places are, Kev. [solemn] They are where piss goes to die. The smell, the damp, the feel in the air. As long as I can still hold my water and get myself in and out of the bogatory, it's my bleeding right to look after myself. KEV [serious] All right. MAGGIE [fierce again] Next time you feel yourself getting curious, darling beast, just swot on down to the crystal lights retirement complex - you don't even have to go inside, just stand downwind and have a good long whiff. MUSIC AMB NIGHTTIME AGAIN MAGGIE [anxious sigh, then fretting] What is the bloody holdup? I said-- SOUND PHONE BUZZES, TURNED ON MAGGIE Finally! Took your goddamn time, didn't you? [beat] So Jemma phoned you - God, how I spewed forth such a spineless cow, I've no idea. [beat, then disgusted] Oh, right, the bloody money - that's the only thing you give a shit about, isn't it? MAGGIE Don't bother, you mealy mouthed two faced prick! I know just how much you care for your wife - I've seen the sodding medical charts. [beat] Blah Blah Blah. Blah Blah Blah. Course you have a problem - you're still fucking breathing. I am planning on fixing that, you know. [beat] [chuckles nastily] Wouldn't you like to know? I'll tell you when, though - give you something to stew about, you arsehole - Saturday night. You'd best watch your step, cause you may not realize it, but I have friends in low, low places, and they just love an excuse to beat some bastard to holy fuck and back! [beat] What do you mean, how are they going to find you? They're probably already watching you. Run if you want, but unless you find some way to get me first, they will get you. SOUND PHONE SHUT OFF SATAN Was that really a good idea? SOUND QUIET FOOTSTEPS APPROACH MAGGIE What, impressed? SATAN Yes and no. I like your intensity, but you shouldn't have warned him. MAGGIE Betcha I know what I'm doing. SATAN [seriously] Let me think about it. MAGGIE So, what's the pitch tonight? And where's the undertaker? SATAN He's a very busy entity. He's already wasted rather a lot of time trying to impress you. MAGGIE Why impress me - isn't he fucking all-powerful death? Doesn't he just whisk people off and bobs your uncle, you're hip deep in the bleeding river styx? SATAN Styx? Well, I'm impressed-- MAGGIE [dismissively] Beer mat trivia. So it's just you and me tonight, is it? Pity - I haven't had a really good threesome since 1968. SATAN [chortle] MAGGIE Right, laughing boy. Either you dropped in for more of the maniac's brownies, or you want something from me, and I don't fancy myself so fucking entertaining that I'd drag you away from the torture telly. SATAN Torture? MAGGIE Bleeding heart chat shows and those so-called game shows where people swallow foul things that haven't even taken them to dinner and a picture first. SATAN [sigh] Bloody hell - it's getting so hard to frighten people these days. You say you'll stick a red-hot poker up the bum and half say "been there, done that". MAGGIE Well, I've been and done around in my time. Are you planning to try and scare the crap out of me? SATAN Really, I just follow Morty around, since once he lets on he's coming for someone, it's usually a piece of piss to get them to agree to sell their soul... MAGGIE [bark of laughter] A bit like when a bloody great hurricane hits and all the bastard insurance salesmen clean up selling storm coverage? SATAN A bit. So. You selling? MAGGIE Blunt, aren't you? SATAN I feel we've gone a bit beyond a sales pitch here. MAGGIE So? I sell my soul and you - what? Give me my greatest wish? I assume immortality is only on the high shelf - the one you can't ever knock down enough sodding bottles to win. SATAN What do you want? MAGGIE [thinks, then] No. Two reasons. First, I still believe you're some starving artist Bertha paid to come round and chat me up. Second, I might have a mouth like a public urinal, but I still read my classics. Monkey's Paw? Nothing good ever comes from a bad deal. SATAN It's not my fault if people don't take time to read the small print. MAGGIE You ponder enough, there's always a way to bugger the customer. If nothing else - just send the damn thing round unassembled, with instructions in fucking Parsi. SATAN [laughing again] I do like you. MAGGIE Can't say you're the worst bastard I've had to deal with in my whole sodding life. SATAN Tell you what - just to prove that I am what I claim to be, how about a freebie? MAGGIE I draw the line at giving up my favors for anything less than a fiver. SATAN [chuckling] No, I mean I'll do something for you. No strings. Cross my heart. MAGGIE You're not planning to bugger me on this? SATAN What would it get me, until I get a signature on the dotted line? It can't be anything huge - I'll not cure cancer or feed the world's hungry-- MAGGIE Sod the hungry. Too many bloody people clogging up the sewer we call the world anyway. SATAN --or make you healthy. MAGGIE [grim] Yeah, right. SATAN Something short term and simple. MAGGIE I got it. And if you do it, I promise to take under consideration that you might actually be the bleeding king of the underworld. Right? SATAN Ask and it shall be done. MAGGIE Right. Now you have to wait until I say "done" before you go swotting off and do this - I want every bloody condition met. SATAN [very serious] Very well. MAGGIE With no harm to either of them, in the immediate or long term, I want something to happen that will keep Jemma in hospital until Sunday. Can you do me that? Suspicious skin condition, something - and this is the part that if you fuck me I will find a way to rip your bollocks off - it has to be something that won't hurt the baby. Right, uh... [thinking, then] Fuck. Done. SATAN [dead serious] I see. Agreed. [beat, then a bit hesitant] You wouldn't happen to have any of those brownies, would you? MUSIC SOUND WHEELING DOWN A HOSPITAL HALL NURSEY Doctor says you're just about well enough to leave. MAGGIE [snarl] Lovely. NURSEY Probably tomorrow - just in time for the weekend. MAGGIE [snarl] Can't think of anything that would brighten my day more. SOUND DOOR OPENS BERTHA Oh! Here she is. MAGGIE Oh, bollocks, who decided to shit all over my parade? BERTHA Mother! MAGGIE Technically. Can you at least keep your festering gob shut until this pelican gets me settled? It's humiliating enough to be jumbled around like someone's sodding laundry, but to have an audience is just the bloody capper. BERTHA Mother, this is too important to wait. MAGGIE Fine. Talk. BERTHA I brought you the brochures-- MAGGIE [somewhat muffled] Talk over. Fuck off. BERTHA Mother! You must admit you need care. You can't-- MAGGIE I can! You'll never get an agreement from me to being stuck in your fucking P-O-W camp, and if you even think about trying to prove me incompetent, I will change my will and put Jemma in charge. BERTHA [indignant] Jemma! She doesn't --- She has too many... children... to look after! MAGGIE [smug] And a bastard husband who will go through the bulk of my money in a week or two, slick as snot. BERTHA Besides, Jemma's going to be a bit longer here herself. Some weird rash has cropped up that they want to keep for observation. MAGGIE [at a loss] Really? [swallows, then her beligerance returns] Devil only knows how that happened. Right. Now, I'm tired and you need to PISS OFF. BERTHA This is not over! SOUND FEET STORM OUT, DOOR SLAMS NURSEY And what's wrong with a little care? MAGGIE You. MUSIC SOUND NIGHTTIME MAGGIE All right, you pouffy bastard - come out. SATAN [tsks] Names? MAGGIE Endearments, darling beast. So what did you do to my idiot daughter? SATAN You asked for a skin disease - I gave you one. Shouldn't even be much scarring. MAGGIE Scars she's used to. I'll send her a bloody great tub of aloe vera. Or will it to her. I meant to ask, when can I expect another visit from lord stick up his bum? SATAN Death? About a week. Maybe less. MAGGIE And then--? SATAN [final, agreeing] And then. You ready to sign on? MAGGIE I'll read the bloody fine print first. SATAN [chuckling, evilly] You may not have time - there's a helluva lot of fine print. MAGGIE [chukles evilly back] Hand it over. SOUND HUGE SHEAF OF PAPER HITS THE TABLE WITH A THUD MAGGIE Bugger me! SATAN There may be an easier way. MAGGIE Than buggering me? What's that, then? SATAN A bet. MAGGIE A bet? SATAN You suggested it yourself last night. I asked if you know what you're doing, and you-- MAGGIE [considering, then quietly] I spoke very loosely. SATAN The devil is in the details. [laughs] MAGGIE How do I prove I won, and what do I get? SATAN What you get - hmm - I'll get Morty off your back, for, say, ten years? MAGGIE Is that all? SATAN Who do you think I am, bloody Oprah? MAGGIE That has to come with two things-- SATAN I said-- MAGGIE I have to be in at least as good health as I am now the entire time - no fucking coma for ten years - and abso-fucking-lutely no bloody nursing home. I'll live on the kerb before I'll-- SATAN Done. MAGGIE And if I lose? SATAN I get your soul - immediately. MAGGIE So the bet is I know what I'm doing - how do I prove I won? SATAN What are you trying to accomplish? MAGGIE Oh, no - I'm not giving you any chance to play silly beggars with my plans. Suffice to say that after Saturday night I will still be the one smiling? SATAN Hmm - give me a few more of those brownies and you have a deal. MUSIC SOUND DOOR OPENS, WHEELCHAIR ENTERS MAGGIE Jems? JEMMA [weak, but better than before] Yes? MAGGIE They say you're to stay here a few more days. JEMMA It's this bloody rash. [itching noise] NURSEY Now now, you know you're not supposed to-- MAGGIE [weary] Bugger off Moby Dick. Jems, I'm going home now, they say, and - uh - this weekend should be bloody interesting. JEMMA [dull] Of course, mum. You have someone to look in on you? Bertha? MAGGIE Only if I want to sign my away my soul. [laughs uncomfortably] Nah, I've talked Kev into roughing it with me for the weekend. JEMMA [a bit disbelieving] Oh. Yeah. Good. MUSIC KEV [muffled, nervous, on the phone] Of course this is her bloody mobile! She's asleep. [beat] Fuck no, I won't! You can haul your own bleeding carcass in here and do your own dirty work. [beat, sarcastic] Ri-i-ight. No, you don't understand - I'm rather fond of the old bag-- [beat] Well, yeah, there is a toady element to it, but we get on, gran and me. I'd just as soon have her around a while longer. [beat] Ain't impossible, innit? She is meeting her solicitor next-- [beat] Oh, you didn't know that yet, did you? [beat, then cowed] Y‑yeah, I know-- No! No, don't go to the cops. I'll-- [beaten] I'll leave latch up, then, shall I? MUSIC [very ominous] SOUND DOOR OPENS VERY CAREFULLY. SOUND OF GENTLE WHEEZY BREATHING. SLOW CREAKING FOOTFALLS. TED [muttering] Stupid bloody old cow. Have my guts for garters will she? Hah! SOUND CREEPING GETS CLOSER TO THE BREATHING. TED Once we've got your fucking money, you old bitch, Jemma'n me'll be just bloody fine. SOUND LIGHT SWITCH TURNED ON MAGGIE [casual, off in a corner] Oh, right. Tickety-bloody-boo. TED [whirling] You insane bitch! [unsure] Wait! If you're over there in the shadows, then who's in the sodding bed? SOUND BEDCLOTHES FLUNG BACK KEV [flamey] 'elo, luv! TED What kind of bloody game are you playing? MAGGIE Hmm. Red Rover. Red Rover, red rover, send the donkey's scrotum over. TED Two to one? The mummy and the weasel. I can take the both of you! [yells and runs at her] SOUND RUNNING FEET, BROUGHT TO A SUDDEN HALT TED [urk] SOUND BODY DROP SPIKE [chuckles nastily] No, me old son, I think you've got that ass-backwards. Hasn't he, lads? SOUND DOORS OPEN, SEVERAL SETS OF HEAVY FEET ENTER BIKERS [agreeing noises, laughs.] SOUND SLAP OF FIST INTO HAND, CHAIN RATTLES KEV You mind, gran? Not my thing. MAGGIE [kindly] Nah, go ahead, you ponce. I'll be right here. Better than a jolly great football riot. KEV [off] Yeah, but guess who gets to hose out your kip? SOUND FEET SCUTTLE OUT OF ROOM TED [panicking] Someone'll hear! MAGGIE Not bloody likely. I made dead cert of that. Amazing what free dinner coupons will do to get people to vacate for the night. Course, police'll chalk them up to the same burglars who broke in here - luckily Kev and I stopped in for dinner with Bertha. KEV [yelling from off] We had a sodding flat on the way. MAGGIE [threatening] Doesn't that just take the biscuit? Now Ted. If you take this like a good little mountain of elephant dung, quietly and repentant-like, they might leave you alive. SOUND PUNCHING COMMENCES, associated noises from the bikers TED [grunts] Hey! Why--? MAGGIE [incensed] Why? Hold up. [starting low, and mounting] Three broken wrists - that's why. A cracked fucking pelvis - that's why. A broken collarbone - that's why! Thirty-bloody-seven sodding black eyes, and that's only the ones I counted myself - that's why! Punching your fucking pregnant wife in her stomach [ragged breath, then almost a whisper] That. Is why. SOUND PUNCHING COMMENCES AGAIN, associated noises from the bikers MUSIC SOUND HOSPITAL HALLWAY, ANNOUNCEMENTS, WHEELCHAIR APPROACHES NURSEY [distasteful, but trying to hide it] Oh, goodness, are you back? MAGGIE No fear, yeti. We're just visiting, aren't we? KEV Right. We're family. NURSEY That's lovely. Well, just a minute then. He's not really up to much. Poor fellow. SOUND DOOR OPENS, PINGING MACHINES INSIDE MAGGIE I know. [pouring on the melodrama] Apparently he was coming by to bring some flowers - since I'd just got out of hospital - and surprised some burglars or something. [sounding almost teary] But for the grace of the almighty, that could have been us - couldn't it, Kev? KEV Worth every bite of mum's pork au poivre. MAGGIE [sharp] Shh. [teary] Tragic. NURSEY [softening] See, I knew you had it in you. SOUND DOOR SHUTS MAGGIE If only she had it in her more often, she wouldn't be such a tight-ass knicker-twisting sodding git. TED [muffled by tubes and such] uh? MAGGIE Good night. What a mess. TED [alarmed] uh! MAGGIE Don't call reinforcemants just yet - we're merely here to deliver a message. TED [shuddering] um? MAGGIE It boils down to this, my evil bastard sonofabitch in law. Quite apart from being ready to kill you should anything untoward happen to either of us here, my friends plan to visit anything you do to Jemma upon you. And I do mean anything. If you get anywhere near her, even with a freindly weapon, you better be ready to take every single bleeding stroke you give. SOUND WHEELCHAIR ROLLS AWAY MAGGIE I'll send round some vaseline. SOUND DOOR OPENS MUSIC SOUND TELLY ON LOW, MAGGIE TAPPING FURIOUSLY AWAY ON COMPUTER MAGGIE Bastards! Fucking evil empire bastards! They just wait until I'm in hospital, and change the rates on me again! SATAN [clears throat] MAGGIE One minute - I have to update my sodding bid structure. Again. SATAN What? MAGGIE Business. And... there. Good for now. SATAN Well, um. [a bit cowed] The bet. MAGGIE You have to admit, I got my bloody way. SATAN Yes. Very well too. MAGGIE So I win, do I? SATAN Oh... yes. You're very impressive. I'd almost offer you a job myself. MAGGIE Come back in ten years, [fondly] you ponce. So what, do we shake on it or somesuch? SATAN Frankly, I'm rather fond of my fingers. MAGGIE [laughs] You have my oath I won't bite... This time. SATAN Right, then. SOUND HESITATE, THEN A HANDSHAKE MAGGIE Go on then. I'm far too bloody busy to be swotting around all day with the likes of you. SOUND TAPS A FEW KEYS MAGGIE [to computer] What does that wanker bloody mean he forgot to pay me? [aside] There's some brownies there. Drop round any time. [back to computer, then fading out] Dammit! Dammit it all to bloody buggery arse-face fucking donkey scrotum hell!!! CLOSER OLIVIA Now that you know how to find us, you'll have to come back. Maybe next week? Don't be a stranger - we have enough of those already...

Earlier this year, Destination Greater Victoria became the first major metro DMO in North America to achieve a Carbon Neutral designation. CEO Paul Nursey shares how Sustainability went from near the bottom of the list of 300 things he planned to achieve when he took the helm of his organization to one of their North Stars. From intentionally analyzing the environmental cost of his own team's travel to launching a national convention (hosted in Victoria) focused on Sustainability in Travel and Tourism, Paul's story is a compelling example of how we all have a role in preserving our communities.
In our first musical taste showdown on the Tingles former drummer of Most Serene Republic Adam Nimmo takes on Halifax's most handsome stache'd bachelor (and dog whisperer) Jimmy Nursey. From sweaty packed shows in Vienna to nostalgic sibling rivalry drives with Mum & Dad, this battle has something for everyone but where will Mike and Bob's points land, and who will be awarded the coveted bonus song? Find out on this week's episode of the Tingles. For a full playlist of the songs featured on this show click here.

This week on The Future of Tourism, David is joined by Paul Nursey, CEO of Destination Greater Victoria, to discuss the concept of sustainable tourism. For many, sustainability is synonymous with terms such as “green” and “environmental.” And while that's definitely part of it, Paul challenges us to go deeper, and focus on creating cleaner, safer destinations with strong partnerships and a long-term vision to improve the destination for residents and visitors alike.

A rather tense car ride to my new Ballet School. My little sister playing 'rag doll' with me, my brother giving me a whole Ten Shilling note and my mother sobbing and smoking like she would use every cigarette in Surrey. Meeting 'Nursey' and finding out that trendy, short skirts were useless for galloping like a horse around a dance studio.
Crisp and formal bedding, lights out and growing home sickness with an unusual approach to bed time.
Girls behaving 'sort of badly' at night. Strange rituals involving absent Nursey and Glito . . . . .
Evenings at a girls Ballet School for borders. Midnight games, kissing practise 'girl on girl', crushes, making cheese from yoghurts and eventually sleep. . . .
My first year at Ballet School was tough and my homesickness was extreme.
Time to move up to a new Dorm. Lifetime friendships begin to take shape. No more Nursey in charge but now we had to deal with Matron herself. . .
