This week's edit - 6th February 2017













Watching
Toni Erdmann is a nearly three hour long German comedy but don't let that put you off!  It is warm, intelligent, funny, sharp, weird and wonderful.  I loved it and laughed, cried and cringed at its insight into a father daughter relationship.

Re-reading
I spent a few days in bed last week suffering from the hideous bug that is circling, and for some reason, my flu-addled mind decided to make me start re-reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.  Cheerful?  No.  Alarmingly resonant this year?  Yes.  Bloody brilliant?  Also yes.
