Heavy Harry And The Three Railway Engines (Red And Black Steam On Southern Metals, CW: Some coarse language)

This next one was actually the first RWS-type story outside of Sodor I ever wrote featuring my VR OCs. I was obsessed with the idea that the RWS books did exist within the Island Of Sodor, which is not an uncommon idea in the fandom...

But I don't think anyone did a story where locomotives outside of Sodor and existing in the same reality as Sodor actually read the RWS.

Heavy Harry And The Three Railway Engines

Newport Locomotive Depot and Works, late December 1950

The mighty VR H-Class Pocono H220 “Heavy Harry” has settled in his shed for the night. He has an express passenger train tomorrow to the border town of Albury all the way in New South Wales, the next state over across the Murray River, and needs plenty of rest. He is the largest locomotive built locally in Australia and the largest non-articulated loco in the Southern Hemisphere.

Somehow, it doesn’t really go to his head, probably because he pulls a lot of goods trains as well, overnights to Albury and back (VR seems to give everyone plenty of mixed work, not even the snooty S-classes are above pulling goods trains every now and again). It gives him ample opportunity to show his strength, for no other class of locomotive in Australia is stronger than he.

He is dark and shining in his majesty, painted in standard VR all-black; the imported American bar frames upon which his whole being is built, the pilot out the front and enormous smoke deflectors give him a proud and armored look.

Unlike the suave, stylish S-class Pacifics who are the lords of the fleet; who hid all their machinery under dark blue and gold streamlining, he unabashedly shows off his rugged mechanical lumps and bumps. He needs to be rugged if he is to mount the 1-50 and 1-44 inclines of the North Eastern Line on a daily basis, such as his purpose.

Near him is in the next berth the old fashioned, black VR A2 4-6-0 No 986 “Pluto”, who also pulls passengers, though not as often these days. He’s an older fellow that plays the doddering old man, but he’s sharp and cunning and won’t hesitate to take the piss out of anyone who he thinks is stupid.

“Your driver is coming to tuck you in and give you a kiss, Har’! Has he got a glass of warm milk?” giggles Pluto.

“He might be coming to change your adult nappy, Pluto!” snickers Harry.

“He’d better be dressed all sexy-like in a nurse outfit if he’s going to do that! Give me a sponge bath too! That’d make my night!”

They’re both laughing like crazy by the time Harry’s driver reaches them.

“Ready for bed?” his voice echoes.

“Just settling in, Driver…” says Harry

“Have a squiz at this!” His driver cheerfully, and shows him a tiny yellow book, The Three Railway Engines, “Just published! I bought it to read to me kids! I thought it would be fun to show you, Har’.”

Harry was curious at the little book.

“They have living locomotives in Britain as well?”

“Of course they do!… We’re not the only living ones out there! Its impossible!” barks Pluto.

Driver carefully reads the simple stories and shows up the pictures in front of Harry so he can appreciate them. Their faces are grey, like that of the Australian locomotives, but their classes and types are difficult to discern from the artwork.

Pluto listens in with interest.

“Blimey, Gordon is such a limp prick!” exclaims Pluto.

“That hill looks pissy as! Surely the A3 can’t be as great as they say if it struggles on a little hillock!.. “ snickers Harry.

They go to the next story.

“Pluto, there’s a 4-6-0 in this book!” exclaims Harry.

“Good for him! I hope he’s as splendid as me…” puffs Pluto, then suddenly the sound of snoring came from that berth.

“Heh! Old coot!”

They continue reading the stories.

After finishing the book, Driver asks “What do you think, Har’?”

“I’m not sure…”, Harry is a little uneasy.

“Whats the matter, boy? Don’t you like it?”.

Harry kept flickering his eyes to the side.

“I don’t like the story of Henry getting shut up in a tunnel… I don’t think he deserved his punishment…”, he looks down towards his bufferless footplate.

“He sure deserved his punishment! What a princess! Imagine stalling cuz you’re afraid of a few drops of rain? What a total pillock!” he laughed.

Driver thought it was very funny, but Harry didn’t think so.

“Sir, would you like it if the coppers threw you in jail because you went on strike over something?” he said with uncharacteristic solemnity.

Driver frowned at the realisation. He had joined the strike that year and Harry had struck a nerve.

“Have you been talking to one of the Communist locos, Har’?”

“No! Why? Didn’t you join the enginemen’s strike too? The one we locomotives wholeheartedly supported? And it made things better for everyone? Because that the promises that fucking terrible Pig Iron Bob bloke made didn't come true? ”

“Fair point, Harry… but striking for better pay and conditions is one thing… being silly over paint is another…”

“How do we know he’s being silly over paint? Just because the author said so?

'The stupid newspapers said you were all Communists or puppets of Communists! The other drivers were complaining about it!

‘They made the locos so silly-looking too! Like kiddies and children’s toys! Do they really look this silly in England?” grunted Harry.

“I don’t think these are meant to be literal, Harry…I mean, the paintings aren’t the most accurate depictions of locomotive types.. you can’t even see what classes they’re supposed to be…I mean, Henry’s a 4-6-0 in one picture and a Pacific in another!”

“Pacifics! Feh! Wankers!” yelled Pluto in his sleep ,“Too good for pulling goods eh? Why I oughta take them by the scruff and rub their noses in boiler sludge! ...” , snoring resumes.

“Do you think the Thin Commissioner would come down personally if one of us were to stall in a tunnel just to yell at the passengers, have them try to pull a 200-tonne locomotive with full consist, then lose his temper and brick it up?” asked Harry.

“No, Harry, that would be silly and absurd. But in the book, the Fat Controller is on the train… but I do get your point...”

“That Fat Controller must be a child, if his solution to Henry being silly in a tunnel is to brick him up and leave him there. The board of directors must have been spitting chips at that!”

Driver shrugged, “They’re just stories in a book, Harry. Not a thing to get upset over… I must admit now that you bring it up, it is a bit stupid in the way they seem to run it, leaving a perfectly good engine in his shed… then sending a wholly unsuitable locomotive to do a goods run on a steep hill… then bricking up another one in a tunnel...”

“Anyway Har’, best not think about it too hard… big journey tomorrow! Nighty night!”

Just stories… Harry thought.

And he put his discomfort away, and tried to get some sleep even though Pluto snored like it was going out of fashion.

Here are a couple of true events referred to for context:

Previous to the events of the story, there had been a major strike by the enginemen of the VR for better pay and conditions. Things that were promised to them when the war ended were not given to them. They were exhausted and a lot of the locomotives were in terrible shape because no one could afford to maintain them as often as they should. The railway workers union AFULE called a major strike which lasted for 55 days, and most of their demands were met by the VR.

The "Pig Iron Bob" referred to in the story is Sir Robert Menzies, the arch-Conservative Prime Minister of Australia at the time of the story. He was infamous as Attorney General for letting the sale of raw iron to the Empire of Japan even as it was clear they were allied with the Nazis and were committing atrocities all across Asia, such as the Massacre of Nanking.

The unions and every right-thinking Australian hated this and they refused to load iron on ships bound for Japan:

How Often Should You Apply Nappy Rash Cream to Your Baby?

As a parent, you want the best for your little one, especially when it comes to their delicate skin. Nappy rash is a common concern for babies, and while it's usually harmless, it can make your baby uncomfortable. But how often should you apply Nappy Rash Cream Australia to soothe and protect your baby’s skin? Let’s dive into some tips and advice to help keep your little one happy and rash-free.

What Causes Nappy Rash?

Nappy rash is often caused by prolonged exposure to wet nappies, friction from nappies, or sensitive skin reacting to products. Babies' skin is much thinner and more delicate than adult skin, which makes it more prone to irritation.

Understanding what triggers the rash is the first step in preventing it. But even the most careful parents will deal with it at some point. The good news? Applying Nappy Rash Cream Australia regularly can help soothe your baby’s skin and create a protective barrier.

How Often Should You Apply Nappy Rash Cream?

1. With Every Nappy Change

In most cases, applying Nappy Rash Cream Australia at every nappy change is the best practice. Changing your baby's nappy frequently—about every 2 to 3 hours—is essential in preventing the rash from worsening. During these changes, gently clean your baby’s bottom, pat it dry, and then apply a thin layer of the cream.

Doing this regularly protects your baby’s skin from moisture and friction, the two leading causes of nappy rash. Think of the cream as a shield, giving your baby’s skin the chance to heal and stay healthy.

2. After Bath Time

Bathtime is the perfect opportunity to refresh your baby's skin. After a warm bath, your baby's skin is not only clean but also more absorbent. This is an ideal time to apply a soothing layer of Nappy Rash Cream in Australia, especially if your baby is prone to rashes.

Take a few moments after the bath to ensure the area is arid before applying the cream, as moisture can trap bacteria and worsen the rash.

3. Before Bedtime

Nights can be extended for both babies and parents. Since your baby will likely be in the same nappy for several hours, applying a thicker layer of Nappy Rash Cream Australia before bedtime is a good idea. This will provide extra protection while they sleep, reducing the chances of overnight flare-ups.

As many parents know, a comfortable baby sleeps better, so taking that extra step can mean a more restful night for everyone!

4. At the First Sign of Irritation

If you notice any redness or irritation on your baby’s skin, don’t wait for the rash to worsen. Applying Nappy Rash Cream Australia at the first sign of trouble can prevent a minor irritation from turning into a full-blown rash. A proactive approach is key, especially if your baby’s skin is sensitive.

Additional Tips for Preventing Nappy Rash

Frequent Nappy Changes: Always change your baby's nappy as soon as it’s wet or dirty to prevent irritation.

Give Baby Some Air Time: Allow your baby to spend time without a nappy to let their skin breathe.

Choose the Right Products: Ensure you are using fragrance-free and hypoallergenic wipes, and of course, choose a high-quality Nappy Rash Cream Australia to protect your baby’s skin.

Watch for Allergies: Certain nappy brands or wipes may sometimes trigger irritation. If you notice persistent rashes, try switching products and consulting your pediatrician.

Conclusion

Nappy rash is a common but easily manageable issue that many parents face. Applying Nappy Rash Cream Australia regularly—during nappy changes, after baths, and before bedtime—you’re helping your baby’s skin stay healthy and comfortable. With the proper care and attention, your baby will return to smiling and cooing in no time.

Remember, a happy baby means a happy parent. So, stock up on your favourite Nappy Rash Cream and give your baby the comfort they deserve!

Chapter 2 - I’m Having your Baby

Master Post

December 21st 2019

Poppy was late. 3 days late. Or maybe it was 4. She couldn’t quite remember, but she knew that she was late. She also knew that she was stressed with Christmas coming up, and that when she got stressed her period tended to stay away for a while, so she wasn’t getting her hopes up. Nonetheless, when she was out getting herself and Harry a coffee she ducked into the pharmacy nearby and bought a few home pregnancy tests, just to be sure. She was in no rush to take them though and if she was honest, she didn’t really have a spare second to think about it once she got home. Between making sure Oli got his lunch and preparing things for his 2nd birthday party which they were crazy enough to be having just three days before Christmas. Oh and did she mention that her and Harry were hosting Christmas lunch this year for his family AND hers. 

The pregnancy test crossed her mind again when she was giving Oli his bath that night and Oli picked up his doll that they kept as a bath toy. 

“Bubba” he said, dunking it’s head in the water “wash hair bubba” 

Poppy couldn’t help but giggle “You’re gonna a great big brother buddy.”

She was glad that he was too young to really understand what that meant, if he was any older she’d be getting a thousand questions about a baby she doesn’t even know that she had yet. 

“Pop, I’m going to pick up your family from the airport now” Harry called from downstairs “Need anything while I’m out?” 

“No, we’re all good H, good luck” Poppy called back “Love you” 

“Love you too” he said and she heard the door shut behind him. 

“Alright Ol, let’s hop out now, get you dressed” 

“Love you Mum” he smiled up at her as she helped him to stand up and wrapped his tiny toddler towel around him. Her heart melted and she placed a gentle kiss on his head. 

“I love you too Oli.” 

She helped him to get dressed into his pyjamas, encouraged him to use the toilet (he wasn’t quite ready to be out of nappies yet, but he was getting close) and brushed his hair so that he was all ready for bed. Since dropping his afternoon nap, it had been much easier to get him to sleep at night, which Harry and Poppy were both pleased about. 

“Right” Poppy said to Oli once he was all tucked up in bed “Have you got Itchy?” 

He nodded holding on tightly to his toy. 

“And Pippy?” she asked and he pulled his dummy out of his mouth, showed it to her and put it back

“And a big kiss from mummy” she kissed his forehead and pulled the side of the cot up so that he couldn’t perform some kind of gymnastics and escape from his bed in the middle of the night. 

“Sleep tight my big boy” 

“Night night Mum” he said as Poppy closed the door to his bedroom. 

She went straight to the bathroom and pulled out the pregnancy test, feeling more broody than ever knowing that her first baby turns two tomorrow. She remembered what it had been like taking the test when she thought she was having Oli, she was scared then because she wasn’t sure that she was ready to be a mum and now she was scared because she wasn’t sure she could face not becoming a mum again. Her heart pounded as she waited for the results to show. 3 minutes had never felt so long. 

“Poppy, dear - we’re here” she heard the sound of her mother’s voice walking in the front door. 

“Shit” she whispered to herself as she left the bathroom, making sure to close the door behind her. She made a mental note to come back to it as soon as she could but she couldn’t leave her family waiting, not after they’d been on a twenty four hour flight. 

“Hi Mum, Hi Dad” she said, half running down the stairs to give them a hug “Good flight?” 

“Awful” her dad, John, shook his head “Can’t smoke on planes these days, did you know that?” he began pulling a packet of cigarettes from his pocket 

“Can’t smoke in my house either Dad” Poppy said sternly “Follow the stairs all the way up and you’ll find a garden and be quiet, Oli’s just gone to bed”

“It’s freezing out there Pop” he huffed but started climbing the stairs anyway.

“Don’t I get a hello?” Her sister Addison said from next to Harry. 

“Of course you do” Poppy side stepped her mum and wrapped her sister in the biggest hug of them all  “God you’re getting so adult, can you stop please?” 

“I’m as old as you were when you moved here” Addie added “And I still live with mum dad” 

“It’s much cheaper that way” Poppy smiled 

“Yeah, you spent so much money in that first year didn’t you love” Harry said sarcastically 

“Enough outta you” Poppy squeezed his cheek making him giggle. 

“Can I get anyone tea or coffee or anything?”  Harry asked trying to get them all out of the entryway

“I’d love to see my grandson” Linda said, turning towards the stairs 

“I’ve just put him to bed Mum, you’ll see him in the morning, he’ll be up bright and early�� 

“Right, well in that case, I’d love a glass of wine” she smiled at Harry. 

“Of course” Harry nodded tentatively, not entirely sure he had any wine to give her “Addie, wine? Tea?” 

Addie shook her head “No thanks Harry” 

“Vodka?” he asked

“I’m fine” she giggled, although a shot or two of vodka was temping after being on a plane with her parents for 24 hours. 

“I’ll show you both around while Harry does that” Poppy added and started going upstairs. Linda and Addie followed, with their bags still in their hands. 

“Leave those” Poppy said “Your rooms are downstairs anyway”

They dropped the bags and followed Poppy. A grimace already evident on Linda’s face 

“So this is mine and Harry’s room” she said when they got upstairs pointing to their bedroom door “It’s a mess so we won’t go in there” 

“Never have been able to keep your room clean have you Poppy” Linda added, peering in anyway 

“It’s so nice to have you here Mum” Poppy said, unable to hold her tongue. “And that room there is Oli’s so let’s be a little quiet”

“Is he a good sleeper” Addie asked. She knew a lot about babies, she worked in a nursery back home, very similar to the one Oli goes to. 

“He’s been much better since we stopped the day sleep” 

“His teachers must hate that” she laughed 

“They don’t seem to mind” Poppy shrugged and continued the tour down the hallway towards the next staircase

“This is where Harry’s mum sleeps when she stays, so we’re keeping that for her and you guys will all be downstairs 

“How many bedrooms is this place?” Linda asked, looking up the staircase

“6 or 7” Poppy said “That’s Harry’s office up there and there’s a studio downstairs, but he never uses it” 

“I accidentally told him I loved the album like 6 times on the way here” Addie giggled “he probably thinks I’m weirdly into him”

“He wouldn’t think that much of it Addie” Poppy smiled “Shall we go downstairs?” 

“Shouldn’t we go up?” Linda asked 

“We can” Poppy nodded “There’s not much to see up there though, it’s just a desk and the garden which I’ll show you in the morning” 

“Oh alright” Linda sighed and turned around on her heel with a huff in her breath . Poppy was starting to remember exactly why she’s decided to move to the other side of the world at just 18. It wasn’t that she didn’t love her mother, she just found her selfishness intolerable. 

“Not giving a tour without me are you Pop?” John bellowed as he walked down the stairs, lips blue from the cold. 

“There’s not much to see dear, just a few oversized bedrooms” Linda drew her lips into a sharp line “That haven’t been cleaned. You know with Harry’s salary you could afford a cleaner”

Poppy and Addie shared a knowing look and Addie turned away from her parents and walked down the hallway towards the stairs. 

“I’m going to find that vodka Harry mentioned” she called, waving her hand for them to follow. And they did, without saying a word. Poppy had always admired how easily Addie could read people and turn a situation around in seconds without offending anyone and she smiled to herself because that hadn’t changed. 

In the Kitchen, Harry had two glasses of red wine sitting on the bench waiting for them and he had his head stuck in the fridge searching for something that seemed to be buried in the depths. 

“What are you looking for H?” Poppy said as she made herself comfortable on one of the bar stools. 

“All that cheese we bought the other day,” he said, head still in the fridge “and the dip”

“That’s in the butler’s fridge” she said quietly, suddenly realising that somehow she was living a life very different from the she left behind. 

“You have a butler?” Addie said, shocked “and he has his own fridge?” 

“No” Poppy laughed “there’s a mini kitchen in that little room over there” she pointed to the door that harry was opening “they call it a butler’s pantry, so we call the fridge the butlers fridge” 

“Oh Harry you’ll have to get me something else, I don’t drink red wine” Linda said before Addie had the chance to respond to Poppy. 

Harry, who was safley hidden away in the butlers pantry rolled his eyes and took a deep breath. If this was how he felt after an hour with Poppy’s family, how was he going to spend a whole two weeks with them. He did, however, take comfort in knowing that Poppy was feeling the same way. 

“I want to tip the wine over her head” Poppy whispered walking into the pantry with the glass in her hand. Harry took the glass, put it on the bench next to him and wrapped his arms around Poppy. 

“We could probably survive off the food in here for the next two weeks if you want to lock the door?” he whispered back

“Believe me, if I could I would” Poppy said with her head still pressed against his chest. He placed a kiss on the top of her head and pulled away from the hug. 

“Guess I’ll go pull some white wine out of my ass then” he said, only half joking. 

“There’s some in the bar fridge in your man cave, I think sarah left it here” she called after him as he walked out again. 

The rest of the evening passed by slowly, Addie, John and Linda filled Poppy and Harry in on what was going on back in Australia, it was nothing to really write home about, just the usual kinds of things that happen in a tiny coastal town, known for being home to quite a few Great White Sharks, that somehow never made an appearance on the beaches. Poppy was not at all surprised by her Mother’s lack of interest in anything about her life in London, if it wasn’t for Addie, all they would have talked about would be when Poppy was going to move back home again. She always thought that would happen when she had children, she wanted them to have the childhood that she did, but now that she’s here in London with Oli she couldn’t imagine anything else for him, because their life was here, with Harry. Linda thought that was ludicrous though and with every opportunity, she found a reason to tell Poppy that a child shouldn’t grow up in a city, especially a city without a beach. But, just like she had upstairs, Addie managed to turn the conversation around every time without offending anyone, until she mentioned the possibility of moving to London too. 

“There’s plenty of spare rooms here Addie” Harry said to her before linda could shut her down “We’d love to have you” 

“I might just not leave” she laughed and stood up from the table “I am going to go to bed though” 

“I’ll show you to your room” Poppy stood up too and chauffeured her out of the room towards the living room, which lead onto the bedrooms.  

“You’re in this one Addie, and Mum and Dad are next door” 

“Thanks Pop” she smiled “I’m not joking about moving to London, I’ve been thinking about it for a while now” 

Poppy hugged her “Like Harry said, you’re always welcome here, this room can be all yours”

“Was this your room when you first arrived?” 

Poppy shook her head “No I was always upstairs, in Oli’s room” 

“Right next door to Harry” Addie giggled “makes sense” 

“Good night Addie” Poppy said, putting an end to that conversation before it even started. 

Poppy didn’t go back into the kitchen, she slipped straight into her bedroom and into bed. Who knew working full time and being a mother would be so exhausting. Her heavy eyes fell closed and she only stirred when Harry came into the room an hour later and wrapped his arms around her.

December 22nd 2019

Poppy rolled over in her bed, exposing her upper arm to the cold morning air and saw that Harry was still fast asleep next to her. She reached for her phone to check the time, wondering why she’d not yet been woken by Oli’s cries to be taken out of the crib.

7:03. He was usually awake by now, but she shrugged it off, because he did go to sleep late last night and rolled back over to face Harry, placing a kiss on the tip of his nose to wake him. He blinked a few times and scrunched up his face as she giggled

“Morning love” he smiled, finally opening his eyes and wrapping his arms around her “Oli not up yet?”

“Nope” she emphasized the end of the word, burying her head in his chest “either that or my mother got up to him” 

Harry scoffed “Seems unlikely, your sister, maybe” 

“That sounds more possible” 

He let a content sigh “This time two years ago, we were sitting in that hospital room, waiting for him to arrive”

Poppy sat up “Harry, today’s his second birthday”

He furrowed his brow at her “Yeah” he said, sounding confused “I was just sayin’ that”

“And we haven’t heard a thing from Danny”

The realisation dawned on him and a huge smile spread across his face “We haven’t heard anything from Danny- shit Pop I can adopt him”

“You can adopt him H” she smiled kissing his puffy morning lips “You’ll have to give the lawyers a call tomorrow, but it should be a pretty simple process, they should still have all the paperwork we filled out before the hearing, we’ll just have to sign it”

“Easy” he kissed her again “He could be mine by Christmas”

“I doubt it, red tape takes time and there’s only three days to go” she heard the faint sounds of Oli stirring next door “I’ll go” she smiled, throwing the blankets off and shivering at the cold December air. She wrapped her big fluffy dressing gown around her and walked out of the room to go and get Oli out of bed, leaving Harry there, smile spread across his face.

“Happy Birthday big boy” she said walking into his room

“Mumma” he smiled at her throwing his dummy out of the cot “Pippy” he tried to reach for the dummy that was now on the floor.

“Pippy’s on the ground bub”she leaned down and picked it up “mummy get it for you”

“Ta” he took it from her and stuck it back in his mouth.

Poppy reached into the cot and unzipped his sleeping bag as she picked him up “Where’s itchy?” she said.  Oli had become quite attached to it when they took him on tour with Harry last year and after seeing Mitch playing the guitar at one of the shows he’d started calling it ‘itchy’ unable to say the ‘m’ sound in his name, and he couldn’t go anywhere without it.

“Itchy’s gone mum” he frowned shrugging his shoulders and looked around the room.

“He can’t be gone bub” Poppy giggled searching behind the cot and spotted him on the floor behind it “there he is! He’s hiding from you Oli” she put him down and moved the cot out from the wall, so she could lean down and pick the toy up. “Silly itchy” she said handing it to him.

“itchy silly mummy” he giggled giving the toy a big cuddle

“Shall we go see Daddy?” she ruffled his hair

“Yeah” he said, nodding his head

“Come on then” she walked out of the room and he followed her.

“DADDY!” he burst into their bedroom and climbed into the bed next to harry.

“There’s my big two-year-old!” Harry said, and Oli snuggled into his side “Happy birthday little man” he kissed the top of his head. Poppy stood in the doorway watching their interaction, heart filled with more love than she’d ever thought possible.

Oli handed Harry itchy “Daddy, itchy hiding”

Harry furrowed his brow “Was itchy hiding from you bub?” he chuckled, turning to look at Poppy “what’s mummy doing all the way over there?” he asked, “There’s room for one more in here”

“Why don’t we all go downstairs for some breakfast, Mummy’s hungry”

“Breakfast!” Oli nodded and jumped down from the bed, toddling out of the room and downstairs. She followed him closely behind, making sure he didn’t slip and helped him into his high chair.

“What would you like today birthday boy?”

“Toast” he said enthusiastically, which made Poppy and Harry both giggle 

“Daddy can make you pancakes if you want little man?” Harry offered, searching the pantry for all the ingredients

“No, toast” he nodded

“Fine” Harry huffed pulling the jar of strawberry jam from the shelf in front of him “Jam toast it is”

“No Daddy, Mite toast”

Poppy giggled to herself, handing Harry the Jar of vegemite “the kid knows what he wants”

“You’re a bad influence on him,” he said, putting a piece of bread in the toaster, shaking his head at her

“I’ll do this” Poppy said, taking the butter knife off him “you go get the presents”

He placed a kiss on her cheek and walked off, upstairs to get Oli’s birthday presents. Once the toast was ready she spread the vegemite lightly across its surface and cut it into four triangles, placing it onto a Winnie the Pooh plate that Grimmers had given them when he first started eating solids.

“Vegemite toast for the Birthday boy” Poppy smiled, pinching his cheeks as she laid the plate in front of him.

“Thanks Mumma” he smiled. 

“Good Morning” Linda yawned, walking into the kitchen in a very light cotton dressing gown “It’s freezing here” 

“It’s London” Poppy admitted “I’ve turned the heating on” 

“Good” Linda smiled “Now where’s my grandson” 

“He’s eating his birthday breakfast” Poppy said excitedly while pointing to the high chair “Oli, say hi to nanna” 

She wasn’t quite sure how he would react to linda, he’d really only met her through facetime and part of her was convinced that he thought she was just the lady that existed in the phone. He turned in his high chair and looked at Linda. He was puzzled at first but his expression soon changed and a big toothy smile grew on his face. 

“Nanna” he said, taking a bite of his toast. 

“Hi Big Boy” Linda smiled back, placing a big sloppy kiss on his cheek “Happy Birthday” 

“Do you want anything Mum? Tea, Coffee, Breakfast?” 

“I wouldn’t mind a tea and some eggs” she said and sat down next to Oli. “Is that vegemite you’ve got there?” she said to him 

“Mite” he smiled and held the toast up to her 

“You’re a real little Aussie then, just have to get your mum to bring you home”

Poppy filled a pot with water and put it on the stove so that she could poach some eggs for everyone when they eventually woke up  and she heard her phone ringing on the bench behind her. Seeing Harry’s name on the screen, she answered it, confused.

“Did you forget where we hid the presents?” she giggled into the phone as Oli sat in his high chair giggling away at Linda as she pulled faces at him.

“No” he said flatly “Can you come here for a sec, need your help with the big one”

“I think it’s time you started those personal training sessions again then Styles” Poppy said standing up from her chair “I’ll be right up” she hung up the phone and turned to Linda and Oli

“Oli, Mummy’s just going to help daddy for a few minutes, I’ll be right back” she kissed his head and walked upstairs into her bedroom where she found Harry standing in the bathroom doorway holding what like a pregnancy test.

“What’s this love?” he asked, handing it to her

“Shit” she said, not looking at it “I took this last night and left it to do it’s thing when you got home from the airport and I kinda forgot about it with all the chaos”

“It’s positive love”

Poppy turned it over in her hand and saw the same two blue lines that she’d seen almost three years ago when she found out she was having Oli, and a few tears formed in her eyes as she looked up at Harry “It’s positive H”

He wrapped his arms around her, bringing her in close to his chest, “We’re having a baby Poppy.”

In the same breath that I told my sister I had quit my job, bought a bus and was going to hit the road on an indefinite adventure around Australia she told me she was pregnant. This was terrible timing considering that in the 32 years she’s been alive we had lived no more than 2 hours away from each other. Essex, Uni, London and Sydney, we had monthly meetings over a bottle of wine or 7. We always went big and we never remembered going home. Now she actually needed a big sister rather than a fellow white wine demon I was driving off into the sunset. But these things happen and we were both about to embark on our own, very different life adventures.

By the time Jot and I left Sydney at Christmas 2017 Aff was three months pregnant. I spent my days exploring the beaches of this beautiful country and my evenings knitting tiny squares of green, pink, yellow and white fluffy wool. I imagined the end result of a beautiful blanket that my niece or nephew would become inseparable from and be bullied at Uni for having on their bed in halls. “My Aunt Kate made it for me when she lived in a bus,” they’d say with pride and defiance tossing their thick ginger locks inherited from their parents.

When Emily Louise Jones was born on 18th of July 2017 in Sydney I was on the other side of the country in Perth. If you aren’t familiar with how bloody big Australia is you might be forgiven for thinking that’s a drive or a short flight away. Nothing in Australia is a short drive away, in particular that little trip which would take 41 hours of non stop driving at 100 kilometers an hour. Geography and logistics screwed us and poor Aff had no family visits while in the hospital with her newborn daughter and no extra help when they got her home.

6 weeks after Emily arrived Jot and I hopped on a red eye flight headed east to Sydney. A mere 5 hour flight later and my sister opened the door to her house holding her dark haired daughter Emily. My niece. I handled the situation like an adult and burst into tears. Once my contact lenses had stopped swimming in my eyes and a quick reminder from Mum on how to hold babies, I had the tiny human in my arms. I loved her immediately and stared at her trying to memorise her perfect little face. From my backpack came the presents that I’d been gathering for her over the last 6 months as I saw them at different markets and toy shops around the country. Then I gave Aff the blanket that I had been working on for the last half a year. The resulting “ohh’s” and “ahh’s” from my sister, mum and partner told me I had nailed the knitting malarky.

We spent the next week as an army of women looking after the little baby. At age 34 I had somehow never spent a lot of time with babies or children. In fact I think I could have counted my kid filled hours on one hand, since being one myself that is. But my intro to babies was enjoyable. The bouncing helped my step count and I enjoyed the smiles from strangers as I pushed the pram around Bondi. I changed my first nappy, and second and twentieth. My sister dressed Emily in pink baby grows and I changed her into yellow ones. For that too short amount of time my sister had the village they say it takes to care for a child. Then Jot and I had to get back to our travels, and Mum and Dad had to fly back to London.

That Christmas we all saw each other again as families do. This time Jot and I flew from Perth to London and The Jones’s made the 24 hour flight from Sydney to London. By now Emily was 5 months old and much more durable (if you can say that about a baby) so a lot less scary. I lived under the same roof as her for two weeks which was the best Christmas present ever. A few times I got up at 6 to take over from my sister and Emily, the non sleeping baby and I would hang out watching crime dramas on Netflix while the morning sun melted the frost outside and everyone else slept. On Boxing Day I wanted to show Emily the Galea tradition of a walk in the freezing cold (and reach my step count) so I bundled her into a snowsuit I wish came in my size, tied her to my chest and off we went into Epping Forest with Nana Jan in tow.

After Christmas was over and we all headed back to Australia, Jot and I hung out in Sydney to catch up with friends and get some more Emily time in. We showed her the Opera House and Bridge, we took her to an art gallery, we told her that we were really sorry that we lived so far away from her and promised we’d be there for all the big moments if we could be.

July came and in buslife we had made it to the east coast meaning we were about 3 quarters of the way around Australia. I turned 35 and a week later Emily was turning 1. Practically twins. Aff was throwing a first birthday for her to celebrate the fact that she and Dan had survived a year without sleep. As I was shopping for a train set for her birthday present I realised that this was one of the moments that I wanted to be there for. One of the big moments. So at short notice, as with we most things we do, Jot and I booked flights.

During the three days we were in Sydney, Emily and I spent a lot of time together. Naughty Auntie Kate even kept her home from daycare on Friday. I discovered that it isn’t possible to drink a take away coffee and push a pram at the same time. And that a one year old is unable to peel their own banana. We went shopping and she helped her Aunt Jot and I plan what we are going to wear for our upcoming wedding. She seemed like a pro at shopping so I suspect my sister has her in training as her tiny shopping buddy already.

Of course 1 year old Emily won’t know or remember that I was at her 1st birthday party. And I doubt that adult Emily will be that fussed. But it was important to me that I was there and it seemed to make my sister and brother-in-law Dan pretty happy. I have an awesome little niece and I can’t wait to step up as an Aunt and make more memories with her when we get back to Sydney.

The Absent Aunt In the same breath that I told my sister I had quit my job, bought a bus and was going to hit the road on an indefinite adventure around Australia she told me she was pregnant.

How Often Should You Apply Nappy Rash Cream to Your Baby?

As a parent, you want the best for your little one, especially when it comes to their delicate skin. Nappy rash is a common concern for babies, and while it's usually harmless, it can make your baby uncomfortable. But how often should you apply Nappy Rash Cream Australia to soothe and protect your baby’s skin? Let’s dive into some tips and advice to help keep your little one happy and rash-free.

What Causes Nappy Rash?

Nappy rash is often caused by prolonged exposure to wet nappies, friction from nappies, or sensitive skin reacting to products. Babies' skin is much thinner and more delicate than adult skin, which makes it more prone to irritation.

Understanding what triggers the rash is the first step in preventing it. But even the most careful parents will deal with it at some point. The good news? Applying Nappy Rash Cream Australia regularly can help soothe your baby’s skin and create a protective barrier.

How Often Should You Apply Nappy Rash Cream?

1. With Every Nappy Change

In most cases, applying Nappy Rash Cream Australia at every nappy change is the best practice. Changing your baby's nappy frequently—about every 2 to 3 hours—is essential in preventing the rash from worsening. During these changes, gently clean your baby’s bottom, pat it dry, and then apply a thin layer of the cream.

Doing this regularly protects your baby’s skin from moisture and friction, the two leading causes of nappy rash. Think of the cream as a shield, giving your baby’s skin the chance to heal and stay healthy.

2. After Bath Time

Bathtime is the perfect opportunity to refresh your baby's skin. After a warm bath, your baby's skin is not only clean but also more absorbent. This is an ideal time to apply a soothing layer of Nappy Rash Cream in Australia, especially if your baby is prone to rashes.

Take a few moments after the bath to ensure the area is arid before applying the cream, as moisture can trap bacteria and worsen the rash.

3. Before Bedtime

Nights can be extended for both babies and parents. Since your baby will likely be in the same nappy for several hours, applying a thicker layer of Nappy Rash Cream Australia before bedtime is a good idea. This will provide extra protection while they sleep, reducing the chances of overnight flare-ups.

As many parents know, a comfortable baby sleeps better, so taking that extra step can mean a more restful night for everyone!

4. At the First Sign of Irritation

If you notice any redness or irritation on your baby’s skin, don’t wait for the rash to worsen. Applying Nappy Rash Cream Australia at the first sign of trouble can prevent a minor irritation from turning into a full-blown rash. A proactive approach is key, especially if your baby’s skin is sensitive.

Additional Tips for Preventing Nappy Rash

Frequent Nappy Changes: Always change your baby's nappy as soon as it’s wet or dirty to prevent irritation.

Give Baby Some Air Time: Allow your baby to spend time without a nappy to let their skin breathe.

Choose the Right Products: Ensure you are using fragrance-free and hypoallergenic wipes, and of course, choose a high-quality Nappy Rash Cream Australia to protect your baby’s skin.

Watch for Allergies: Certain nappy brands or wipes may sometimes trigger irritation. If you notice persistent rashes, try switching products and consulting your pediatrician.

Conclusion

Nappy rash is a common but easily manageable issue that many parents face. Applying Nappy Rash Cream Australia regularly—during nappy changes, after baths, and before bedtime—you’re helping your baby’s skin stay healthy and comfortable. With the proper care and attention, your baby will return to smiling and cooing in no time.

Remember, a happy baby means a happy parent. So, stock up on your favourite Nappy Rash Cream and give your baby the comfort they deserve!

Agricultural Activities to Fuel the Global Super Absorbent Polymer Market at CAGR of 7.09% by 2028

Triton Market Research presents the Global Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) Market report segmented by Production Method (Suspension Polymerization, Gel Polymerization, Solution Polymerization), Type (Natural  [Polyvinyl Alcohol, Polypeptide, Polysaccharides, Polyitaconic Acid, Other], Synthetic [Ethylene Maleic Anhydride Copolymer, Sodium Polyacrylate, Polyacrylate/Polyacrylamide Copolymer, Others]), Application (Healthcare [Wound Dressing, Super Absorbent Mat, Medical Waste Solidification], Agriculture & Horticulture [Soil Broadcasting, Seed Coating, Ornamental Gardens, Root Dipping, Flower Beds], Personal Care [Baby Diapers, Adult Incontinence, Urinary Bags, Sanitary Napkins, Nappy Pads], Others), and by Geography (North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, Middle East and Africa). The report further discusses the Market Summary, Industry Outlook, Market Definition, Key Insights, Porter’s Five Forces Analysis, Impact of COVID-19, Market Attractiveness Index, Vendor Scorecard, Drivers, Restraints, Opportunities, Challenges, Competitive Landscape, Methodology & Scope, Global Market Size, Forecasts & Analysis (2019-2028).

 Triton’s report denotes that the global super absorbent polymer market is expected to witness a surge in terms of revenue by 7.09% of CAGR during the projected phase of 2019-2028. In terms of volume, the market will grow at 6.95% of CAGR during the same period.

A super absorbent polymer is a cross-linked polymer, which is unsolvable in water. The primary feature of SAP is its capacity to absorb liquids, storing them even under extreme pressure. It is utilized in multiple applications, including diapers and sanitary napkins.

The governments across all regions have established agriculture as an essential part of the economy, as it fulfills food requirements and prevents poverty. Here, irrigation is a crucial element of the agriculture process that utilizes vast amounts of water. The use of super absorbent polymers in arid regions has been beneficial to compensate for water loss. Hence, the growing importance of agricultural activities is generating several growth opportunities for the studied market worldwide. However, the adverse health effects upon exposure to SAP poses several challenges for the super absorbent polymer market’s development.

Asia-Pacific is considered to hold the largest market for super absorbent polymer, and is expected to continue its hold over the forecast period 2019-2028. The robust demand for SAP in the region is influencing several companies to enter the market, especially in India, China, and other emerging economies. The region’s dominance is due to the rise in the healthcare sector and the surge in demand for diaper among the increasing population. Moreover, India, China, and Australia are among the countries where agriculture is a significant sector, which is likely to fuel SAP’s demand. This will further augment the super absorbent polymer market in the APAC region.

The established enterprises involved in this market include Nippon Shokubai Co Ltd, Sanyo Chemical Industries Ltd, LG Chem Ltd, Songwon, BASF SE, Kao Corporation, Chemtex Speciality Ltd, Xitao Polymer Co Ltd, Sumimoto Seika Chemicals Co Ltd,  Yixin Danson Technology, Chase Corp, Evonik Industries AG, and  Zhejiang Satellite Petrochemical Co Ltd.  

The super absorbent polymer market is relatively consolidated, restricting the entry of new plays into the market. Moreover, some countries have health regulations related to SAP, hampering the entry of new market players. On the other hand, a few existing competitors are vertically integrated, intensifying the competition in the market. Several companies are even sustaining their competitive advantage via mergers & acquisitions. Hence, the threat of new players is expected to be low, whereas competition is likely to be relatively higher.

hey, how about if we just fucking teach parents what to look for in young children since they already see them naked, and teach older kids what is normal and not normal for their bodies? instead fo having strangers check their genitals???

i have never in my life heard of this shit. even trying to google it in relation to new zealand turns up nothing except pages on intersex children (in terms of how to care for them and being against unnecessary medical procedures), if a child has a genital condition like rashes, herpes, uti, etc. (in which contact to check, doagnose, and treat is necessary) and sexual abuse examinations. but when a child has no significant health issues? completely unheard of here. 

why not just teach parents what to notice on their own child’s body as they’re washing, dressing, nappy changing, etc. them? 

even australia?????

what is going on??? literally, it should be a parent’s job to pay attention to external factor’s on their child, and listen to complaints the child has, and then give that information to the doctor. it’s not like ears, eyes, etc. where they have a daily necessary function that has to be regularly checked by a doctor to see if things are good. if a child is urinating, their urinary tract is fine, and apart from that, the genitals are only used for sex and birth, and so if there’s no issue, don’t need checking until the child is an adult for stuff like cancer checks and medical stuff. what other reason would there be for a doctor to need to examine the external or internal genitals of a healthy child???

why do so many american women talk about having pelvic exams and gyno visits as LITTLE GIRLS? like, they don’t even mention issues, or major issues that require them, but they’re just like “yeah, my parents took me to the gyno and i had fingers in my vagina at 9″ HUH????? what are they doing over there???? even WITH issues as older girls and women here, actually touching the genitals is like…later option stuff, you have a ton of talking meetings first where you explain stuff, and they offer options. vaginal/pelvic exam is never the first option unless it’s something that requires it. and you can always be like “nah” and they’ll go “okay” and that’s it. even with menstrual issues, you don’t get your junk touched unless you volunteer for like….a transvaginal ultrasound if they think you have cysts, but again, optional.

the first time i realised that something was going on over there that is not normal in other places, was the larry nassar scandal. i just thought “how the hell was a doctor able to convince not only the girls, but the parents, nurses, police, media, and the world for DECADES that inserting his fingers into the vaginas and anuses of little girls was a normal, necessary procedure?? especially when they’re very healthy girls”. and then a bunch of women were discussing doctor gyno stuff as kids and i felt blown away. there is literally no reason for a doctor to go anywhere near a child’s genitals, particularly insertion into the vagina, unless there are very serious health issues relating to it, and it should always be up to the girls, with those things being the last possible option because of how traumatic it can be. these women are just like “yeah, i had no idea what was going on, my parents and the doctors didn’t tell me what they were doing”. i feel terrible. no wonder so many women have trauma and reluctance regarding pap smears and such. 

for most women (obviously there are women with related health issues), their first pap smear in their mid twenties (scientifically proven to be the best time to start) should be the first time experiencing that sort of thing, and it should be completely informed, patient comfort first, and the woman in complete control. i can’t imagine it any other way. that would be awful.
