I really enjoyed Juniper 🎬 :

A good read: Charlotte said yes: How we got a French screen icon to star in our NZ film
There are special bars across our footbridge designed to stop motorbikes from getting onto the bridge. What they actually do is make it very hard for human beings to get on the bridge, especially those who have dogs on leads, kids, wheelchairs, mobility issues, pushchairs…

Until this year we always said “If Oshi won’t eat, we know there’s a problem”. 🐶 This year it’s been increasingly difficult to get him to eat his biscuits, especially in the morning. We’ve tried various brands and gravies. As of today I know he will eat Nood chicken pouches. 😌
