I’m so sorry. We got our cats on Saturday and I already can’t imagine life without them. Sounds like you were lucky to have had each other.

Gary Numan is worth catching these days. A nod to the past, but consistently great performances with the post 2000s material.

My favourite film. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore. 🍿 Would have made it creepier if we hadn’t seen the feet, though.
