When I was growing up, one of my favourite programmes was Children of the Stones. It was so scary!! Going to Avebury last year with the mist all around really brought that eerie feeling back! 😱 It's an amazing place!

First proper walk today for ~2 weeks because of the recent cold temps & general fitness issues. Legs achy & wobbly, lungs struggling, but happy to be out.

Did see, though, that our local phone box is now an emergency defibrillator. What a good idea. Might come in handy for me one day...!

One oddity about The New Avengers is it basically happened because of the French, who put the money up (in theory, it never arriving caused problems), meaning 3 episodes shot in Paris.
The first of which has the most extraordinary outfit in TV history.

Deathtrap (1982) Dir. Sidney Lumet — Reeves goes for a full rebrand and, honestly, nails it. Yes, it still feels a bit stagebound, and yet, the film winds tighter and tighter until it snaps. Clever, tense, and packed with great acting. Nasty fun anchored by great turns from Caine-Reeve-Cannon.🎞️📽️

I can't handle the cold weather any more. Used to enjoy the frosty crispness of it. But it's too painful now!
Fetching the bins in today at ~7.30am, temp of -1.5C, & my dodgy lungs almost stopped working. And with my bad circulation my hands really feel it too.
Looking forward to spring already...
