This has been a busy week, a good one.  I'm trying not to watch the news, and have found instead some comfort food movies to watch at night instead.

All Creatures Big and Small is wonderful, in the vein of Call the Midwife.  It's James Herriot's memoir of being a farm vet in the early 1900s.  It's so relaxing to watch an episode or two before bed--as there is no conflict and all the characters are just so good. 

A movie I enjoyed on Amazon was The Tender Bar--the story of a precocious young boy who wanted to be a writer.  His single mother was determined he'd go to Yale in spite of her lack of funds--though she hoped he'd become a lawyer.  He had a deadbeat father he rarely saw, but a wonderful Uncle Charlie who owned a bar and treated him like a son.
