Hypnosis Sessions Back On

It was brought to my attention that the Hire Me Page for the various types of Hypnosis I do had a broken link, so that’s now fixed. I wasn’t aware it was broken because most people just emailed me with requests directly and we took it from there.

And that works fine too, but the Hypnotic Services link on the right does help to answer pretty much all questions you may have.

Since I have also now been doing Hypnosis via Skype for over two years, I have put my prices back up to 75% of where they where when I used to do it face-to-face (over 3 years ago, and really I still have prices from 2014 or so).

I have not seen any appreciable difference in doing the sessions with Skype instead of live, and since most people resolve their issues permanently with a session or two, and in the last 3 years none went over 6 sessions (over a period of months) and that was for an issue that I can honestly say most humans would never even tackle, never mind resolve, it means I should probably eventually put my prices back up to the same level as face-to-face costs.

For the present though, They are still mostly under £100 an hour.

So, if you are curious, go take a look at the relevant sections, and enjoy even reading about some of the Experiments I did.

    12.12.23 – NAZI MOON is Out

    It’s going to be out on December 12th, I am not sure when Amazon will allow pre-purchasing, but I think probably after the 6th as I have until then to do any corrections. So by the 9th I think it should be available for pre-release purchasing.

    It will retail at $29.95 in the US, which sounds probably quite high, but… It’s a stonking brick of 828 pages (which is actually the maximum limit of a book size by Amazon), and is a collection of 3 books, complete with notes for each book, a map, technical details, and enough information about its setting to make it really, quite a project. Think of it as my version of The Lord of The Rings, though, of course, of a genre completely different and I can’t approach the master’s level of quality as a writer, but I assure you that the detail that went into developing this story is second to none. I may not have invented a new language, but I do believe this work has the capacity to at least shift any reader’s mind, at least a little, concerning the reality we live in, and what is actually possible, and probably really going on, too.

    My style would be closer to a somewhat pornographic Edgar Rice Burroughs, in that it is high adventure stuff and quite cinematic, especially from book 2 on, but the strength of the story, in my humble opinion, is the plot, or rather, multiple plots and sub-plots throughout the story, some of which have story arcs that resolve only further down the line, so for those who like plot-driven stories and who enjoy trying to figure things out before they are explained by the story itself, this should be a pretty decent read, and something not often found in what has become “modern” SF.

    In any case, I am terrible at marketing myself, so the above is just to give those interested an overall sense of things, not just hyperbole.

    It’s in 9″ x 6″ format, so, comfortable despite its size.

    Please order it as soon as you can, as it helps the algorithms if there is a high pre-release purchase.

    The point of this book is multifold. And for those who care, here is a little on its nearly 30 year history in the making.

    Dream-Writing

    The three books that form part of Nazi Moon, are really the result of three dreams I had concerning Mars and the Moon. The dreams were so vivid and clear that I still recall them almost 30 years later. I have had a very strange relationship with dreams throughout my life as I have had premonitory dreams more than once, which were absolutely confirmed because I had shared them with my girlfriend at the time, so when they happened, I had objective confirmation I wasn’t just imagining things.

    I also had a dream some 10 years before I met my present-day wife that, the day I met her, I recalled, and once again, I had an objective way to confirm this as she was showing me an apartment and in the dream I had, there had been a specific statue in the corner of the block’s gardens. I could not see that location from where we were and I also had never been to this particular block of apartments so, if that specific statue did turn out to be there, then… well… something! And indeed it was there.

    I also had dreams where I have like part 1 of it and then, years later, I have part 2 of it and it flows just as if it was the continuation of the original dream even though years have passed in the waking world. I do not know what any of these things necessarily mean, I have my theories, but they are my best guesses. What I do know is that human beings absolutely have an element of precognition, because at least twice in my life it saved my life, and I had it other times in less life-and death situations, but, as I discuss in a lot more depth in my book Systema – The Russian Martial System (which I taught for years) the US military is training Special Ops people to develop this by testing it in absolutely scientific settings. The Russians are ahead on it, having it be part of their normal analogous training system. Something that the original Systema trainers did a bit at first, but tends to not be done now. Some of the “superhuman” powers of this nature are explained in my Systema book, and have been experienced by others who read it and experimented for themselves.

    And Honorton and Ferrari demonstrated years ago (when science could still be reproduced reliably) that precognition is something that a statistically significant (though low) number of humans can do, and have as an ability. Details of this are included in the Systema book too, along with a computerised test that, using video, was the first of its kind in the world and for which I was a test subject, that proved Systema movements and strikes are the least predictable ones of all the ones tested.

    ANYWAY… that long preamble was just to point out that I am not sure what the significance of each dream was, but each one pretty much was the launching point for each of the three books.

    The cover of the original Overlords Of Mars first book (Inception) was a little similar to the one above, but later I changed it and I think the one usually presented is the one with the image of Mars (which has a story all on its own, as it’s an image rendered by a guy that uses actual telemetry data from NASA to get his images as accurate as possible and was featured in National Geographic, and he gave me permission to use it completely free of any royalties) and a pair of very blue female eyes. Those eyes were taken from a photograph my wife had sent me, though she was not my wife or even girlfriend at the time, and I used them because they were the closest ones to the kind of eyes I had dreamt about in the first dream that became the Overlords of Mars series.

    The cover of the second book was done by a guy who now lives in LA and has done most of the special effects in pretty much every film you have seen in the lat 20 years. His team was the lead SFX guys in all the Iron Man films. We used to train Systema together in London and due to his move and work load we sort of lost touch, but I’ll be sending him a copy anyway, as he loved the story when he did the cover for me, again, just as a friend.

    The first dream had been about encountering people of a more evolved sort and without giving any spoilers, readers will be able, I think, to figure out when that happens in book 1.

    The second dream was of being on Mars, with the kind of equipment described in book 2, exploring, going into underground locations, and the sense of a female presence being there too, which, once again, I think will be recognisable in book 2 – Stasis.

    The third dream was of something I do not describe in book three, specifically, but definitely represented the social set-up present there, and the technology that made it possible to be on the surface, as described in book 3 – Black Sun.

    The first dream was had in the early to mid 1990s and the third one was had in 1996. And yes, I developed those dreams and the idea for the books, way back then. I had just finished and published The Face on Mars at the end of 1995, which I want to stress is completely NON-Fiction, and is the only book that has really explained what happened on Mars and how. The main concept has been plagiarised by Graham Hancock, which he admitted to me in person in late 1997, (and yes, I have a witness) but in any case, my theory of the reality of how Mars was destroyed has never been found to be flawed, and in fact, some of the things I wrote about as being possible back in 1995 have since been proven to be exactly as what I predicted, and as they should be, if my theory on the destruction of Mars being intelligent is correct, which I am still sure it is. I also updated the book in 2014, which has more information, relevant to the current fiction Omnibus Nazi Moon.

    I met all the top people involved in studying Mars at the time, in conferences, speeches we gave, magazine articles I wrote, and even radio and TV interviews I did at the time. Mark Carlotto remains a long distance friend and I have made some videos on Kurgan TV to explain why the man’s work is really second to none concerning his science. He is a consummate scientist, a real one, that actually does proper science, regardless of any politics or anything else. And he too believes The Face is artificial, which was my own conclusion before the later images were produced. Since then, what NASA actually has been producing, image-wise is, to my mind, suspect in the extreme. For reasons that are obvious and explained very early in the fiction works.

    Anyway, the point is that in order to write The Face on Mars, I had spent literally every waking minute researching everything from the most obscure astronomical information to details of the first (real or not) Alien abductions. And then I had a very weird experience, which, luckily, was also confirmed by pretty much the whole of South Africa, as a bunch of UFOs basically flew down the N1 main national highway that runs the length of the country, and entire police stations came out to see them, not just me and a friend with my video camera, and it was on the front page of newspapers and still in the news a few days later. It was what we would today call a UFO “Flap”. And luckily I wasn’t the only one to document it, at least partially, in my book. I didn’t explain the whole thing because it sounded crazy, but at least the verifiable parts I did put in the book. And I had a video of the whole event.

    Shortly thereafter I was burgled and the only thing that was taken was those videos and the video camera, not cash, not the stills camera, nothing else, and the “break-in” was done professionally without leaving a trace of “breaking-and-entering”. My phone was also tapped, which was confirmed by the n.2 guy in the equivalent of the South African secret service at the time, although he said he had no idea who was doing it as it wasn’t the South African Government.

    I had a lot of strange meetings with various people, from Admirals’ daughters that had apparently been drugged and messed with because they found out too much about what daddy was doing, to professional and well-known European astronomers that worked for ESA (European Space Agency) that told me privately they agreed with all my theories in the book, and they said I was absolutely correct, but they could not support me publicly or they would lose their job. I also met a lot of clearly disturbed people, but the meetings with the non-crazy people were really quite astonishing, because I could confirm who these people were and they were not random morons, nor where they looking for fame, fortune or anything else from me, other than just their being glad someone else had figured out some of the things that they knew and which they could not really discuss, either for fear of reprisals, or for fear of being thought of as a crazy person.

    After I wrote The Face on Mars, I had already figured out that if antigravity technology was a thing (and it absolutely is) then, there were a bunch of logical consequences that made it obvious that:

    • The world we live in, is really, little more than a prison planet.
    • Aliens that also had the technology could/would have been in contact already, especially given what the destruction of Mars signified, since this Solar System MUST be known of already.
    • The kind of “war” that intelligent races that had extensive access to antigravity technology would tend to be sneaky, subterfugeous, and indirect, because if you start flinging rocks around with that technology, the casualties are on a civilisational, and even system-wide scale.

    So, these strange situations that were happening to me and these people I met or would approach me, along with the clear psyops I was subjected to from time to time, (in a fairly light mode, it must be admitted) made perfect sense to me.

    I had made it clear that I thought antigravity technology was absolutely planet-busting capable, and as such needed to be absolutely regulated, so, it’s not like I was threatening to release the blueprints of how to build your own little UFO, which in any case I would not know how to do. And over the years, I have held that position consistently. Which is why I assume I have mostly been left alone.

    The reality is that even if only really good guys had access to antigravity technology (I wish!) it would still need to be regulated and controlled with a pretty ironclad set of rules that are absolutely enforced. One crazy bastard with an anti-gravity machine the size of your car can reduce our planet to a smouldering death-ball if not just another asteroid belt where Earth used to be. And there are a LOT of crazy bastards on top of the billions of idiots, so, even if I were put in charge of all the antigravity technology for the Sol system tomorrow, you bet I would put in place absolutely Draconian security systems to use the stuff. The only difference is that once I have that aspect completely nailed down, I would gradually release the information concerning the technology to the whole planet. And yes, that is absolutely fraught with danger, I know, which is why the information would need to be released gradually and anyone not following or trying to avoid the protocol would need to be hammered into the ground.

    Over time, the procedures of security concerning the operation of antigravity machines would become a standard Modus Operandi for all humans and eventually, the Human race would evolve enough to be able to take its place in the Galactic scheme of things where the other intelligent races have already come to similar conclusions that, when everyone has a zap gun that can destroy entire stars and planets, no one had better use it that way, otherwise everyone else will see to it that you and your species disappear from the genetic code of this section of space.

    So… I have been living with that reality in my head, pretty much fully-formed since age 26. And nothing in the intervening 28 years has done anything other than confirm this theory at every turn and in every aspect.

    And the books have been in my head since then. Certainly these three.

    Confederate Rising was a little novella I wrote for fun (see the notes in the section labelled Overlords of Mars on the left) as a kind of joke for a group of online friends, and it is set in the same Universe as these books, but in the far future, a few hundred years from the events of Nazi Moon.

    Now that you know the underlying premise of the realm in which my stories take place, I sincerely hope you not only buy and read the book, but I really hope you spread it around and give it as a gift to friends and family, because, as some of you know, science fiction is more than just entertainment. It propagates certain ideas and realities through human consciousness, and thanks to principles of morphic resonance, when enough people have an idea in their heads as a possibility, it becomes a reality. Films like a 2001: Space Odyssey was filmed in 1968 and inspired by a short story from the almost self-confessed pedophile Arthur C. Clarke written in 1951. That film showcased technology that now we take for granted and have even surpassed in some cases.

    Now, I am not a well-connected elite, being as I am absolutely not only, not a pedophile, but believing that they deserve the death penalty, so… I have to rely on you normal people to spread the word for me and change quite a bit of the false narratives that are flying around the entire globe as though they were absolute truths, when in fact, they are vicious lies designed to keep the best of us down.

    And if you also just enjoy a good story for the entertainment purposes, that’s absolutely fine too, but your help in spreading the word would be very much appreciated.

    Lastly, if any of you want signed copies, the only way I can do that is to order some books myself, sign them and post them, which is quite expensive and can take a LONG time, especially since US customs can hold books for up to 8 weeks in customs, for reasons best known to themselves. However, if any of you are interested and are willing to pay for the postage, please leave me a comment or send me an email and we will see about doing that for you.

      The WHEN of the coming collapse

      Vox posted a link to a simplicious post that is really excellent at explaining the coming crash and why and the variables. And his general view is very much in line with my own (remember I assumed within 5 years but possibly up to 10. Which I only realise now also brings us to 2033).

      However, I have been somewhat fascinated by Vox predicting 2033 since I first heard about it several years ago, nearly a decade ago I think, now.

      There are two routes as to why I am fascinated by it. One is the more mundane one, and one s a somewhat numinous one.

      The mundane one is that Vox comes to these conclusions on the basis of (I think) quite detailed analyses of various things. Don’t ask me what things, because he’s doing things economists do, and I assume it entails going deep under his castle’s dungeons, drawing entrails from his enemies, boiling the tears of the givers of science fiction awards, and other dark and disgusting things only economists can stomach doing. My own approach to these things is to get a hunch and then synergistically, come out with a WAG (Wild-Assed-Guess).

      Back in 1993-4, I was sure that the economy would collapse by the year 2000 at the latest based on my having touched with a tiny toe the waters that those creatures known as “traders” (in shares and stocks and options and baby parts, and cocaine) do within banks and other towers of misery.

      Then 2000 came and went and I thought a bit like I did when I was 4 years old and I had asked about how money works and the grown ups tried to explain it to me and I figured none of it made any sense. But I assumed I was too small and this stuff was too complicated for me to grasp, so I must be wrong about it being completely insane system that makes no sense.

      Of course, 4 year old me was right. It’s the rest of the world that is absolutely, completely, totally, fucking insane and illogical.

      So the same thing happened and it was 2008 before it all crashed, and then I realised my error. I was unaware of Professor Cipolla’s First Law.

      It had taken so long for the Ponzi scheme to crash because so many greedy, unprincipled, stupid and really stupid people ALL continued to buy into it and then double down. They are all playing 3 card monty with no third card and someone is stealing the bets, but they all keep at it because sometimes some of the stolen cash lands near them and they “win”.

      So 2008 came. And they covered it up by robbing blind half the planet. And then 2014 came and they patched it up again, and started the Ukraine stuff. Then 2019 came and they invented Covid and proper Ukraine war. Now Covid is done, draconian laws telling nationals to shut up about the rapefugees stabbing their children or else go to jail are being put in place and chemtrails are going overboard to try and fry all our brains with the new 5G antennae, but it’s still not enough. The USA has literally increased its debt by another trillion, or is it two, hell, I forget.

      So now there is the Gaza genocide, and all the media trying to make us feel sorry for the guys bombing civilians, hospitals and killing literally thousands of children. And that is definitely being dragged out, because the next step is to send all the Palestinians to Europe and the USA.

      But… unless hot war with Russia and China and/or Iran and Syria kicks off soon, and unless Russia and China are also part of some really nefarious Satanic game of chess, the West is going to get that economic collapse soon.

      And as I mentioned, by “soon” I expect in the next five years, but maybe a little “softer” for North America and Europe than it has historically been for 3rd world countries, or those that the West deemed needed to become 3rd world countries. So my estimate is about 2030 at the most but I am well aware I tend to be a pessimist, so 2033 certainly looks like a good date.

      Now for the numinous part. Back in 1994-5 when I was researching and writing The Face on Mars, I read a book called the Great Pyramid Decoded, Peter Lemesurier, which was quite fascinating. And in there, he came up with this idea that the great Pyramid could also be used to predict a sort of general timeline of the future. It was not an idea I valued very much, because the premises he used to get there were in my view, rather shaky, although the man did a lot of valid and interesting work aside from that. And in any case he was not some crazy freak, but a guy with an interesting take on some odd things, and people like that can sometimes figure things out the rest of us miss (I know because I am one such guy in my own way).

      Anyway, from memory, Lemesurier put it that a generic world collapse was going to happen in 2033. And that by around 2050 it was either finished or the real end times came, I forget which, and the book is either lost to one of my moved or one of my relatives, so I can’t check. But anyway, after the crash a time of good and perfection would come. I can’t recall if the 2050 part is when the bad stuff ends or the really bad stuff begins, before we then have a new golden age. You can see how the End Times narrative obviously keeps me awake at night. But anyway, though I didn’t think much of his methodology, I remembered this 2033 date as a “crash” date, and I find it fascinating that Vox came to it too. It’s quite specific, and Lemesurier had used some Biblical related “timeline” to come to his conclusions, and I may be wrong, but I think Vox once mentioned he had considered certain things from the Bible to… I forget… conclude something about economics, or the timing of something.

      So I wonder about it. And now you know, and probably wonder about it too.

        What you think is normal, is not

        I have had several rather interesting conversations over the last few days and a recurring theme has been how so much of what is accepted as normal today, really is not.

        Some are obvious things, that only the unhinged think are normal:

        • Mutilating children to supposedly give them the sex they “desire” instead of the one they were born with
        • That trans-anything is anything other than mental illness
        • And the consequent nonsense that men can be women or vice-versa
        • That math is somehow “racist”
        • That only white people can be “racist”
        • That there is any such thing as “White Privilege”
        • That Black Lives Matter is actually based on statistically relevant data concerning the incidence of shootings of black males by white police instead of statistically significant on the basis of incidence of violent crime by black males
        • That there is any such thing as the “gender” pay gap
        • That men and women are equal in any way (psychologically, or physically)
        • That diversity is a strength
        • That all cultures/religions are equivalent in civilisational values
        • That different ethnicities are equivalent in terms of IQ, physical performance of various activities, intellectual performance of various activities, and cultural approaches to different concepts

        Then there are what I would call “second tier” observations, which really are (or should be) obvious is you realise the obvious issues above and simply extrapolate them a little bit:

        • That anyone on Earth is not somehow “racist” (literally anyone with a brain that works and eyes and ears that function will notice differences in people and will make instantaneous value-judgements on the basis of those differences. In short, you’d have to be deaf, dumb and blind, not to have what are intrinsically “racist” judgment calls. Literally everyone is “racist”. Including you. Deal with it and stop lying about it to yourself and others).
        • That sexual deviance is somehow “normal”. It clearly is not. Anything that does not naturally perpetuate the species is a deviant and unsustainable sexual dysfunction. that’s just a fact. More subtly, anything that is not geared towards a family unit comprised of one husband, one wife and the purpose of their lifelong marriage being to make and raise children is of markedly, objectively, lower civilisational value than any other set-up, even if they could reproduce children (polygamy of Mormons and Muslims for example, Polyamory, swinging, and so on).
        • Since men and women are not equal and since the best civilisational set-up is the one of the family unit as described above, it become objectively obvious that the roles of men and women are different and complementary in that family unit. Pretending otherwise, regardless of technological advancements is a recipe for disaster, since we have some 2 million years of biological wet-ware to over-ride and also a LOT of unchangeable hardware that simply is never going to go away or suddenly stop making us be men or women, no matter how many hormones and puberty blockers and deranged surgeon’s scalpels you go under.
        • In view of all the above and the historical evidence of some 2,000 years, it also becomes obvious that Catholicism has undoubtedly produced the very pinnacle of human civilisation around the world. this needs a little more fine-tuning to realise for a couple of aspects:
          • The Industrial Revolution was primarily a Protestant driven change, and touted as a benefit to mankind, but on deeper reflection, whether the Industrial Revolution really was of benefit to humanity is at best, very questionable, and rationally speaking, almost certainly a turn for the worst.
          • The working systems that came along as a result of the Industrial Revolution, similarly allow people to produce a higher output of work, but this is not rewarded by a correspondingly higher effect on people’s standard of living. In fact, it eventually settles down into a corrosive process that fills every waking hour of ever longer work-days, to fulfil and endless drive for “more”.
          • This “mechanisation” of human beings further corrodes time with family, the very dynamic of how a family works and operates, and consequently the type and level of education that the children in a family unit receive both directly and indirectly.
          • These are less obvious points and not applicable in all cases, but overall, the pattern’s statistics are as described in three above points.

        And once you have digested all of the above, you begin to see a whole other level of reality that has been obfuscated by the creeping demonic lies that have been filtering into human life since the start but really took off after 1521 and then got turbo-charged during and after WWII and then started taking steroids in the mid to late 1990s and meth and cocaine from about 2008 on and finally a whole bunch of LSD since about 2016/7.

        • You begin to realise that corporal punishment in general, and the death penalty in particular, is absolutely reasonable and logical for certain level of crimes. No, not the ones that the current zeitgeist would put you to death for if they could, which might be calling Bruce Jenner, Bruce Jenner, or stating unambiguously that there are only two sexes and that homosexuality is a deviant sexuality that is not conducive to a natural continuation of the species, and that adoption by homosexual is in essence, child trafficking.
        • You realise that the desensitising to certain stimuli is beneficial while to others it is detrimental.
        • Given the above two points alone, the whole concept of training people like soldiers, police or other force on force/warrior types would drastically change.
        • As would the education/disciplining of children depending on their aptitudes and interests.
        • And intelligent education would be treasured and asked for by anyone who understood the above principles. And education that follows the baseline principles of things like the Trivium, the study of logic, reason. Basic principles of mathematics like ratios, sets, percentages, trigonometry, statistics, and algebra, taking the time with each not to just learn the formulae off by heart, but understand the principles. Along with a study of history beginning with the classics, explained and recounted at appropriate age level of understanding, starting with the Illiad and the Odyssey as stories and then the gradual introduction of the Greek classics, the study of Sparta and Athens, Rome, and the Roman Empire, and Egypt and its unexplained structures. As well as, of course, the study of dinosaurs, which really every child loves if properly introduced, and astronomy and geography, with a hint of exploration, archaeology and discovery. After which, biology and chemistry and physics can be tackled with a more reasonable background to build upon.
        • The study and use of various weapons and principles of martial disciplines.
        • The learning of basic home economics such as balancing a budget, the basics of cooking and keeping a clean home, and so on. All of these topics could be integrated into equal parts indoor and outdoor activities.

        Described as I have above it all sounds like a super expensive classical education, but in reality it is something easily achieved by a group of parents that are willing and able to organise themselves and get this done.

        And doing so would probably be considered some radical alt-right, Neo-nazi, eeeeeebil indoctrination of children. When in reality it would simply be giving them the tools to observe and evaluate the objective universe as it exists, instead of the lies it is presented as.

        Do not accept the current twisted ideologies of Clown World. Study and re-learn what has been hidden from you and presented under a tsunami of lies and fakery the likes of which no generation before the present ones has seen.

        Rebuilt the concept of objectivity and the study of both the physical and natural world as well as the metaphysical one.

          Educated Women

          As a result of the last post, on SG the discussion had various points. One of the (many) poorly understood “red pills” that are probably the result of your average incel believing/taking advice from your average PUA, is this idea that women should not have an education.

          In typical incel fashion, the pagans, the “red pilled” retards, and so on, seem to think that the general aim for humanity is for women not only to reject feminism (a good thing), but also to be semi-literate baby machines (not a good thing – the semi literate part. Like it or not, only women can make babies and everyone normal is fine with it. I know, shocker!).

          That may work for you if you are of a certain religious persuasion that tends to hang around camels as nomads in the desert, but by and large is not a great idea for a happy marriage. At least, certainly not for me.

          The problem is not a woman being well educated. The problem is if she buys into the feminist and other utter idiocy that the nonsense farms (colleges, universities, schools in general) put on blast every day you are there.

          Even in the past, it was thought that for a woman to be well-read was a bonus. And personally, I have always been quite impressed by those women I came to know that had a varied and sometimes surprising number and type of books that they had read.

          My wife has a facility with words for example and she is usually way ahead of me in things like anagrams, or play on words, and puns that I dare not repeat, for they are truly awful, as puns are meant to be. But more recently, she has even begun to mix English and Italian words into new constructions. Piggolina for example a mix of Piglet and Piccolina, for our second youngest, who has yet to find a food she does not like munching on.

          And although she has not exactly had time since we have been together, she enjoyed reading Jane Eyre and is quite particular about enunciating words correctly and so on. She even managed to read through a couple or three of my fictions books. At least one before we were even together, a feat I don’t think many (any?) women accomplished, including the previous ex-wives. More importantly, I can talk with her about pretty much any topic and receive a reasonable feedback. You know, in the fleeting moments between various work things, and one or more of the five children climbing a wall after some fashion, needing to eat, or get changed, or somehow interrupting in new and varied ways.
