Eeeeek!
Respond to this with an image from a movie that always cheers you up, but don't name the movie. just share an image.
Sick of depressing and scary world news?

Fu Hao (1200 BC), was one of the wives of King Wu Ding of the Shang dynasty. She broke with tradition by serving both as a military general and a high priestess. She led many military campaigns, commanded 13,000 soldiers and was among the most powerful military leaders of her time. #CelebratingWomen
Learned to drive at 30 as was required for my job.
I went for a doctor interview in a northern town, got the bus from the train station. I asked for directions and they asked where I was going because northerners. The response!

Far too much fun, this.

BREAKING: Keir Starmer has announced a 1 minute clap for Stephen and Rachel at 8pm tomorrow.
Yes! She is still my favourite and deserved to win!
Quite surprised to find an English language 1932 Bible while helping Mum clear out, as this pre-dates their emigration to NZ in the 1970s. The appendices include a map of 'Palestine in the time of Christ'. Fascinating.
