Zootropolis 2 is a joy. Nice Easter egg at the end (always good to watch the credits) which suggests a Zootropolis 3 is shortly going to be in production. Hoorah!

As an adopted child myself, I found this very difficult reading. There should be better support for all children with behavioural issues. When I was adopted there was NO post-adoption suppprt for parents at all.

The Macmillan team at P'boro are absolutely lovely. Would urge anyone who's had a diagnosis to make sure they keep that appointment. So helpful on so many levels.

Thoroughly recommend Eerie East Anglia. It's the most wonderful collection of spooky tales, some of which I already knew, others new to me.

Aw, The General is a big bundle of joy. So glad to have finally seen it on the big screen. Carl Davis' score is likewise a joy. Not sure whether Buster ever heard it, but hope that he would have loved it too.

My brother put on his Appalachian Business Shirt (a flannel) and now he’s strutting around like a full-time lumberjack. Sir, you can’t even find your own tail. Please stop trying to unionize the squirrels. #TuesdayMotivation #dogsofbsky #dogsofbluesky #dogs

Surprising morning. Stopped at a level crossing...to let a steam train go by. Then overtaken by a fire engine, who stopped a few yards ahead where the engine of a Range Rover was on fire. Scary looking. Claude felt quite ill

Watching a cookery competition, much amused that acronym for the Culinary Institute of America (Anthony Bourdain's old school) is the CIA. Am still doing a bit of a double take every time a chef says "I've been with the CIA for X years". It would make for a great mistaken identity comedy thriller.
