The Addams Family

Our Halloween film today was The Addams Family.  My children has got the decorations out  from the loft and put them at the front door along with decorating the door itself.  They also discussed which film we should watch and the agreement was to watch Hotel Transylvania today and a Monster High film tomorrow.

However, me son changed his mind and wanted to watch The Addams Family, so I put it on, but tricked him as he had wanted us to watch the animated version.  To be fair, he stayed and watched it, even though he was tempted to leave before the end.

I knew I liked he film, but did not realise how much of it I had forgotten.  Yes, the CGI is dated, and parts of the plot were predictable, but this film is a great one, well put together with some classic scenes.  In fact, we all liked it, and especially as family film experiences are becoming rarer, that was the most important part.

Protesting about the Climate Change that is harming our planet

My daughter went to a local march for action on climate change today. I had wanted to go, but I am so tired from a late night out last night in Southend and also, I need to catch up at work (am typing this before I head back home).  I do hope she enjoyed herself there as she added her voice to the many who are trying to get our leaders to make the changes that our planet needs.  

At present, I am discussing this on Twitter with someone who refuses to acknowledge the seriousness of this.  Put simply, over millions of years, carbon dioxide has been locked away out of the atmosphere.  We need to act to drastically reduce the amount of fossil fuels that are putting this back into the atmosphere as well as looking at methods of carbon capture that means that we can take it out of it as well.
