Saturday Snippets 21 February 2015
{watching} Lilo and Stitch for family film night. Which was apparently scary and mostly sad :/ Smallest burst into absolute sobs when she thought Stitch was being taken away, and had to be cuddled and persuaded to go on watching, and I don’t think is going to forgive us for some time. Oops. (I remembered…

{reading} Empire. {watching} Arrietty for our first #familyfilmnight of 2015. It was great, I could really get into animation of that quality. And for once, a film that held the entire family’s attention throughout, which is nothing short of miraculous really. It felt a lot closer to the books than other adaptations we’ve watched, even…
Saturday Snippets 11 October 2014
{thinking} that the weeks seem to fly by more and more quickly. Doesn’t seem two minutes since I was writing out the last snippets post. {reading} Endgame: The Calling. (partial) review with giveaway to go up tomorrow. Make sure you hurry back. {watching} Tron: Legacy (via Amazon Prime) and really rather regretting it. I usually…
Saturday Snippets 4 October 2014
{watching} Red 2. Great film. High body count, so not one for the teenies, the wisecracking is brilliant, and Helen Mirren is just excellent with a machine gun. And a knife. And acid. And her feet. 😉 {reading} this one is a bit more difficult. I seem to have about six books on the go,…
Saturday Snippets 27 September 2014
{watching} Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return (Amazon). Arrived for review this morning, and was absolutely perfect for a trimmed down #familyfilmnight with just the younger two. And I enjoyed it, which was a bonus, although a film featuring Sir Patrick Stewart as a tree is always going to stand a chance with me 😉 Unlike…
Saturday snippets 9 August 2014
{watching} Jack Black in Gulliver’s Travels (Amazon). Turned out to be a really good #familyfilmnight choice, even though I’m not the biggest Jack Black fan in the world. Great ensemble cast though, with that guy from How I met your mother, as well as Billy Connolly, Emily Blunt and Catherine Tate. Story is somewhat truncated…
Saturday snippets 7 June 2014
{Wondering} where the year is going. Getting close to the longest day and then the nights start drawing in. {Enjoying} warm afternoon after pouring rain this morning. {Shopping} with Tim. Which is an odd experience, we’ve not done it this way for years. Needs must though. {Sewing} first time I’ve been able to sew through…
Saturday Snippets 10 May 2014
{watching} Holes. Which was excellent. Based on the novel by Louis Sachar, the screenplay is by him too, which explains why it’s so true to the original. Appealed to both the older children as well as both adults, a good choice for a slightly older family. {Reading} Milly Molly Mandy at bedtime. Although naked Trevor…
Saturday snippets 3 May 2014
{missing} Tim and Big who are off in 1560 celebrating May Day with the other Tudors. Far too cold to be in a tent with very small people though – the heating is on in the house. I hope Big is coping OK – she feels the cold a bit, but I did send her…
Saturday snippets 12 April 2014
{Watching} walking with dinosaurs the movie. Mixed reactions, but full review, with bonus features 😉 to come on Tuesday. {Feeling} sore both physically and emotionally. Post pilates week two, I’m feeling that it was a core and neck workout. I also feel that my posture is improving and I’m moving better (didn’t feel like a…
