Is it safe to come out yet?
Scottish cats Joe and Jake faced severe disruption to their sleeping schedule this weekend, and are keen to make sure that they, and you, have access to 18 hours a day eepy time.
Joe managed to poke his head out, but it's too noisy and bright for him just now.
Namaste!
This isn't a classic composition, but it's very Joe and Jake.
Joe 's upturned head shows he's getting messages from higher powers while an uncertain Jake offers his side-eye 'I'm not down with this' look.

Happy #Caturday y'all!
Stop the Count!
Scotland's soccer-ball team have topped our World Cup group; proud Scots Joe and Jake really did stay up to silly o'clock to watch on tv. As a result, the boys have very sore heads and are turning down the brightness on everything.
May all your sweetest dreams come true.
Namaste!!
In an unexpected change to the schedule, we're celebrating all things Scotland + football with a Scottish double bill.
First up, Bill Forsyth's 1980 comedy Gregory's Girl is a beloved story of a gauche young man who has to buck up his ideas about women-4 out of 5

Out this Friday in the UK, Australian adult LGBTQIA+ feature Lesbian Space Princess is an antidote to the celebration of men's soccer at the world cup; this debut picture ploughs a fairly unique furrow in animated feature history. At Vue and Picturehouse-4 out of 5

Alternatively, if you enjoy the spectacle of men hitting each other with hammers, you'll love The Furious, a ground-breaking Hong Kong martial-arts flick, out now in the USA and next week in the UK. It's the best thing of its kind since The Raid 1 and 2.

I got my new releases in early, so here's a double bill of 70s classics by director George Roy Hill. Hill directs Robert Redford and Paul Newman in The Sting, a charmingly-told heist movie about two rather moral con-men besting a big fish (Robert Shaw). 5 out of 5.

A movie that dares to tell the truth about Scotland's love of football + Rod Stewart, Mike Myers' So I Married an Axe Murderer is a wonderfully daft, macabre romcom about a young man with a Scottish heritage, based on the Canadian comic's own upbringing. 4 out of 5

My George Roy Hill double-bill concludes with 1972's Slaughterhouse Five. Author Kurt Vonnegut considered this to be a 'flawlessly perfect' adaptation of his work. Even if audiences didn't turn up, it's still an outrageously wise, acerbic, stunning film. 5 out of 5
