We did go to see Clifford the Big Red Dog yesterday and for the first time ever, were the only people in the screen. That was fun and a bit weird and I really enjoyed the film. I was watching an interview with Jack Whitehall last night and he was saying in the US Clifford is a big thing, sort of like Paddington here, so I didn't have that cultural element. I just really enjoyed a film about a huge red dog and the people around it.

Masks are mandatory in the cinema again, but that wasn't an issue as we'd never stopped wearing them anyway.

It was a lovely winter early evening when we left the cinema, cold but that nice brisk kind of cold that comes with sun, not the bitter biting kind. I wanted to get a photo of the big Christmas tree with the castle in the background but a group of students were doing a shopping photoshoot so we watched them for a while before heading home.

Got back and some parcels had been delivered. I'd bought a cheap bundle from Yankee Bundles so now have enough scented Christmas Yankees to last well into the new year, probably months into the new year tbh. You have no choice on scent, just they're from the festive range. But thankfully I liked the ones I was sent. Cherries on Snow especially smells good.

I meant to post this yesterday but forgot. So many bad things have happened this last year so some good that doesn't directly relate to me but made me happy. Four months ago a cat from Murphy's rescue escaped from its new owner of a few days. It was an ex feral so scared, didn't know its name yet and still young. The owner of the rescue put out fliers and many members of the group went out looking in the area, but she was nowhere to be found.

Two days ago, on the private adopter's group, someone linked to a general FB post asking if anyone knew the owner of a cat they'd seen. They'd included a photo, and it was the escaped cat.

The shelter owner went to the area and left traps, and a day later the escaped cat had been caught, checked over and was after a couple of days to be watched over, was going back to its owner.

And just, it had been four months when most people had expected the worst long ago and sometimes it's worth reminding yourself good things still do and can happen.
