Serial adopter of retired greyhounds. Retrofitted a 1970s ex-council house with solar/batteries/heat pump/EV. Keen home cook.

Picked them up today and I'm pleased to bits. I was probably 4 years old the last time I was -0.25, it's very different from being -8.5 but the glasses make a big difference!

When I went to vote for the first one the staff greeted me warmly and chatted for a bit. They were bored stiff, I was the first person they'd seen for hours.

We were very fortunate to have a Pullman ride a couple of years ago. An amazing experience, I have never been so well looked-after.

I love this film. Saw it fairly recently and I thought the VFX stood up well.
