#MothersDay (2023) was fun. An agent's son is taken and she fights her way to rescuing him. Lots of cool choreographed fights. ~Not~ to be confused with the Jennifer Aniston movie...

Editing a new cover on #Gimp. Could not get rid of two white specks. 15 minutes of frustration flicking between layers, changing filters, adjusting colourisation, trying to colour in the specks. They were dust on my screen. 😭

8 mile walk to Hadleigh and back. Pretty, but too hot for me 🥵 I have 2 more southern summers left to suffer through before we migrate north.

[Steve Merrifield @stevemerrifield]

Too hot to enjoy the actual garden today, so we played #TangGardens instead. Such a pretty #boardgame.

[Steve Merrifield @stevemerrifield]

Blurgh. #Summer is here. No more cosy blankets and layers. Hid from the sun today with a lazy game of #LordoftheRings #Risk #Boardgame. Very much feeling the fires of Mount Doom 🥵

Finished season 2 of #Paradise. Great show. It spends time on character and world building, & the storytelling is layered leading to some tense eps. Season 2 hasn't jumped the shark, but taking a good run at the ramp 🤞 season 3 doesn't drop the ball

Just finished #Unchosen on #Netflix. Good stuff! Cults fascinate me. but Throwing in an escaped prisoner hiding among them made for a tense watch. Wish they hadn't chosen to do what they did in the last few minutes, but otherwise a perfect show 👌

Enjoyed #TheNun2. 2 nuns... 1 demon. #Valak has returned... And has nuns on the run... for a relic that can defeat it. I don't get the hate these movies get. Aside from #TheConjuring 1, these are the best in the series IMO.

#ShelbyOaks is one of the creepiest #horrormovies I've seen in a long time. A woman is determined to find out what happened to her paranormal investigator sister... And it does not go well...

Got to see the #TeenWolf series reunion movie. Great to see (nearly) everyone back together again. I now need to rewatch the series. Again. 😬

Watched #DeanKoontz #Watchers. Of its time? Sure. Did it follow the book? No. Was the monster good? Also very no. But it was surprisingly grisly and it entertained. Fur face was adorable. I'm now going to see what our cat has to say through Scrabble...

I can tick Hello Mary Lou: #PromNight2 off my overlooked #80shorror movies... But apart from a decent hook, fire death, and blackboard portal set piece the film lacked any drive or oomph. I wouldn't have missed anything had it remained overlooked... 😑

I ♥️ my 2012 #Kindle. It's my favourite piece of tech. It's been great environmentally to have an such enduring device. Exceot @Amazon is going to block Kindles from 2012 and before from downloading new books. And if reset, it will no longer work. So disappointed in #Amazon. ☹️

[Steve Merrifield @stevemerrifield]

I enjoyed A Quiet Place: Day One (after not liking the original). I still struggle with how anyone could survive, but Lupita Nyong'o's character and that cat pulled me in. This is a world where my husband's snoring would literally kill me.

A group of contractors laying the course of a new road disturb the tomb of a vampire in the horror comedy with charm, Boys from County Hell. Fun watch (iplayer in the UK)

#Anniversary was chilling. 10 years ago I'd think this was far fetched, but after a recent visit to the Imperial War Museum, and seeing how US and UK politics has shifted in that time... I think we need to heed these cautionary tales. It starts with flags.

A mother and a detached but obsessed scientist won't let death be the end in Birth/Rebirth. Yeah... I'm not good with medical things 🤢 there was some looking away.

Sat down at 9am to edit. Got an hour done. Editing programme just stopped working. No obvious reason. Thanks to ChatGPT, I've now fixed whatever was wrong with it. No idea what. I was just the meat suit for the AI advice. It's now 2 in the afternoon. Most of the day lost. 😡

[Steve Merrifield @stevemerrifield]

Please Don't Feed the Children was a fun watch. Michelle Dockery was twisted fun and got some great lines.

#Ladybug on #Tubi was a fun #horror watch. A retreat to an isolated cabin to paint, with a hot and... possessive... handyman, and a murderer... That end actually gave me a chill.
