Good morning, Michael12 and everyone!

Marzipan22, thanks for the gorgeous photo!

I was at my laptop on the kitchen table in the early hours, watching 3 films, all lights off, guzzling mugs of PG Tips, scoffing Chicken Poppers I'd bunged in the microwave for 2 minutes, hugging hot water bottles, wrapped up in a hoodie fleece, wooley hat, and watching the glorious snow tumble down here in Appleby! It was beautiful!

I watched Child of Rage with Dwight Schultz and Mel Harris, and the amazingly brilliant Ashley Peldon, who played a 7-year-old traumatised Cat. She was fantastic for her age, and I genuinely think she should have got an Oscar for her acting!

Trigger warning - contains scenes of very serious baby abuse. And also Sam Gifaldi as Cat's twin brother, Eric.

No dogs, cats, birds or kids were harmed during the making of the film.

I also watched a 1979 comedy, Meatballs, which had me on the floor laughing, with Bill Murray, and also White Settlers with Pollyanna McIntosh.

It's now 11:27 am, and I'm off the the local bakery for a takeaway hot choc with all the trimmings!

I hope you all have a good one, whatever you're doing!
