Thank you dimrill.

This doesn't classify as nice, but the State of Linkedin's advent calendar is very much entertaining.

To be fair, if I found a pair of shoes that was like 10x bigger than my feet, the first thing I would do is put them on and stomp around in them :DD

Hi Mimi,

I've watched the full movie, it's great but as it is about angels observing us and hearing our thoughts it shows the full range of human emotions, including the extremity of despair. So there's some tough bits, as well as some very beautiful bits. The angels are there to record all of human existence and experience, but they can never sample what it means to be human themselves. One angel begins to realise that he too, wishes to be human. Ultimately it is a very human film and it ends with an uplifting note. Funnily enough Peter Falk plays Peter Falk, in Berlin to shoot a movie. Nick Cave is in it as himself too.

Lovely. Maybe I’ll attempt watching it in easier times. I tried watching a couple of episodes of Highway to Heaven some months ago and it pretty much floored me emotionally, so I’ll give it a bit of a steer for now.
