If you are in Britain or Ireland, good afternoon, it has been a nice looking day. But cold. It is the second day of the social-media walkway; no Facebook or Twitter on my phone, but I will still be using Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp. Reason? To point people to this site (and others, like Artstation and Red Bubble when I get more items in the … Continue reading 200 Word Blog 2 (4/11/21)

The sun is up as Koguma opens the window to reveal a chill in the air. She remarks that far away cherry blossoms are in bloom. Now – the cherry … Continue reading Super Cub Ep 12 (End)
Would I recommend Luca? Yes, I would. This is a Disney Plus exclusive worth seeing and is bursting with colour, personality and character. The story is simple, but the underlying layers make it a very engaging watch, and we can walk away thinking about it afterwards. The art style and animation are marvellous! It is Pixar in top form and has among the most beautiful … Continue reading Luca (2021)
