P2YL | 33. Five favourite films for a fallow season (+ one bonus film)

Good news, even if, like me, you're nothing like Audrey Tautou

My midlife route from devastated divorcée to happily remarried

Sending Spanish sunshine to you

After divorce and heartbreak

'Good books for a bad day'

At a shrewd guess: not the partner who was unfaithful

Because history repeats itself. Including the men

I do something I thought I would never do

This time last year I wrote Six good things about bad Christmases and it struck a chord with many people. So I've flagged it and linked to it again and that's got me thinking about the whole cult of New Year's Eve which I know can hang over us if we're feeling a bit sub-optimal, like a child knowing a dental appointment is coming up.
