Paddington (2015)
2015 | Comedy, Family
Family friendly fare, following the (mis)adventures of a talking bear from deepest darkest Peru who travels to London, is named after the train station in which he arrives and falls in with the Brown family.

Inoffensive stuff, although Nicole Kidman's Millicent does steer uncomfortably close to scary stuff for the younger viewers ...
  
"kooky" is the perfect word

humorous designs with a London theme ... and yes I have made a few of them.

The Pigeon Knitting Kit is perfect. Short needles and all you need to make your 1st London companion ... patterns written with fun, and suggestions to adapt them.

Before this I admit that even tho I have been knitting for over 30 years I had never really caught the in-the-round bug, but this book changed that, and I also got the authors followup book Stitch New York

For a learner this book would be a great addition after learning the basic skills. As with most knitting books there are instructions on how to knit. A fun addition to any crafters bookshelves.

Album Favorite

"For any musician – not so much vocalists, but anyone who played guitar – when this came out it changed everything. I went to see them at the Rainbow in London, because I missed them supporting Black Sabbath. We were making our first album in London at the time and they were unbelievable: it was a West Coast rock & roll party and a new era in guitar playing. I had never seen anything like it before. Then all the glam metal bands copied Van Halen, because they were the first of the hair metal bands, selling sex. That’s really how they looked. ‘Running WIth The Devil’ is a fucking fantastic rock song – not quite as good as ‘Smoke On The Water’, but not far off."
