We are approaching the shortest day of the year, and as the nights get darker, winter blues affect many of us. As I get up for work at 4:30am, it's pretty much always dark for me first thing, but for many people, trudging to work and home again in the pitch black leads to an increase in Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It can affect anyone, and the NHS says symptoms include a persistent low mood, a loss of pleasure or interest in normal everyday activities, and sleeping for longer than normal. Looking at my average sleep statistics, I definitely don't have any worries on that front.

Depending on whether you're in the mood for cosy or quirky, I've got something for you. It was nice to see our local indie busy on Sunday for The Choral, which stars Ralph Fiennes as Dr. Henry Guthrie, who is recruited following his return from Germany to lead the Choral Society in Ramsden. The choir is struggling to attract any male recruits, due to the fact the war is on (the story is set in 1916), and it's also a battle to find a non-German composer's work to base their next performance around.

1985 was a vintage year for movies, with Beverley Hills Cop, A View To A Kill, and of course Back To The Future, which I watched on the IMAX screen in Ashton this week with a friend who has somehow never seen this classic before! I was rather envious of him, watching the time travel escapade for the first time. The special effects have aged jawdroppingly well, and my favourite fact is that Christopher Lloyd was just 46 when he played the eccentric Doc Brown.
