Pre-Christmas Spirit 

I have to tell you, I was quite hurt that Alice was so full of excitement about the Nick Cave film (see our previous post below) that she didn't include a single picture of me. It is a joint venture, you know, this blog! So she's making up for it by adding this one here.

We're happily (mostly) into the Pre-Christmas spirit. In other words, we've bought the presents (but not wrapped them up yet); we've fetched the bumper Radio Times (but not read it yet); we've got the cards (but not written them yet) and even the stamps (but not stuck them on yet). What's more, we've purchased several packets of mince-pies, (and enjoyed quite a few) and aquired some cherry liqueur chocolates (and eaten rather a lot).

That's what I call getting our priorities right.

Have you tried a hot mince pie with ice-cream, plus a couple of teaspoons of Cointreau? Heavenly.
Here's a preview for our next again post, which will be about Interstellar [the link is to a trailer, so don't follow if you still haven't seen it and want to be totally fresh] plus the film depicted to the left.

The oldies among you maybe saw this one when it first came out. It's been showing again (in a restored digital format) and moreover is artistically just as fresh as it was back in 1968. [Clue.]

Yes, our Alice has fully emerged from her Underground sojourn, and is all set to bring you her feast of movies. But she's vowed not to begin that until the cards are a wrap. [Ho, ho, ho ... ]
