My day starts with serving up breakfast for little princes Joe and Jake, two rescue cats pictured here afloat in their little lifeboat of dreams.
They are twins, or at least from the same litter, but Joe is the responsible adult, who takes good care of his wee brother.
Namaste to all on bluesky!

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knockin' at your door
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
Namaste Joe and Jake!
The good news is that a comedy is the top film in the USA right now. The bad news is it's Scary Movie, the sixth in the crude comedy franchise, not counting Marlon Wayans' A Haunted House spin-offs with director Michael Tiddes.
It's lazy, tired stuff; 2 out of 5.

We've unexpectedly picked up new followers, so the story so far...I review at least a film a day under the editorial control of rescue tabby cats Joe and Jake, pictured here at home in Scotland. They lived in a bin, but are now little gentlemen with many good friends on the world wide web.
Namaste!
