Reunion review – this excellent British Sign Language thriller is an absolute revelation
Reunion review – this excellent British Sign Language thriller is an absolute revelation
The performances – including that of Rose Ayling-Ellis – are outstanding, while the way it switches between spoken and signed language is utterly seamless. It feels shocking that it's taken so long for a show like this to exist

That’s it, winter’s here in Edinburgh. The woollens are on and the glove collection is in play.
Cue sights of Scottish men wearing woolly hats with their shorts and t-shirts.

I enjoyed my foray over to Glasgow today for the British Deaf Association’s AGM. Great to see many familiar friendly faces and enthusiastically engaged deaf people.
I am glad to be home with my cuppa and feet up though…but now I have to prepare for our ASLI AGM next week!

last night I joined the Deaf Action (Edinburgh) Film Club for a screening of “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On”.
It was a wholesome, joy filled evening watching a clever sweet funny film and feeling community. A good BSL natter too :)
There is much good in this world, and it was a reminder of that.
