It’s one of my most watched films (please don’t judge me!). We had a recording which my sister and I watched almost on repeat. I didn’t watch it for years until my fab husband tracked down a terrible dvd version for me. Our dvd player regards it as so dodgy that I have to play it via my laptop.

I beg to differ. Tumbledown is 1988 but Colin Firth also stars in the glorious Dutch Girls (1985).

Oliver doesn’t mince his words! I’m guessing that he won’t be applying for an ESTA anytime soon.

It used to be that seeing young police officers made one feel old. Later, it was one’s contemporaries becoming proper doctors, none of that ‘junior’ nonsense. Now the successes of my children and their schoolmates makes me feel positively ancient! The kids are alright.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

It was one of my top films of 2025 - the other was the very different The Ballad of Wallis Island. I had to stop myself crying because I knew that if I started it would be that awful, noisy, gulping sobbing. I work in SEN; I’d love to think that things would be very different now but I’m not sure.

Thanks for your most excellent choices and for the glorious playlist which has accompanied me as I’ve written cards, wrapped presents and cooked … Christmas good wishes to you and your kin.

This echoes a piece by mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social about love being a verb. Loving, including those who have died, is a very active thing.

In the culture wars, I want to be the bit on Christmas Day where they all knocked it on the head for a bit and played football.

I had my saddle half-inched earlier this year. Whilst severely cheesed off, I was grateful that it wasn’t a wheel as I could, at least, push the bike home.
Three hearty cheers for Ollie and mate. I like to think that they’re young and, thus, confirm my belief that the kids are alright.
