Kia ora Scorpio Books and WE Are Books & the Bookshop Day team, had a fabulous Aotearoa NZ Bookshop Day. We wore booky clothes & got a prize each from Scorp - coffee and a Penguin tshirt. Loved checking out the Scorp Expansion full of cooking and gardening books. #BookshopDayNZ #NZBookshopDay

I was steeped in scary stuff - first movie I saw at the pictures was The Towering Inferno. But what really scared the bejesus out of me was anything demonic and devilish and possession. The Omen!

I think I remember a dam bursting in this movie, and it came rushing into one of those California drain landscapes like they did the Grease car race in.

I saw Sci Fi Lullabies at the record shop the other day for a tenner. Bargain.
