I borrowed it from the library the other day and we watched it last night.
It was so sad. Way too say. It was very upsetting and it made me so mad. It is one thing to want to have an alternative lifestyle but it is completely out of order to bring children along for the ride and then leave them starve while you pursue your artistic endeavours or even worse feed your addiction.
The Glass Castle stars the amazing Brie Larson but by god, it is a tough watch.
This morning we were minding Cleo so we took both dogs on a long walk. Ciaran brought them to the park first to run around and then I met them and we walked some more around the Ranelagh/Leeson Street area. I brought along a litter picker and a plastic bag and in about 30 minutes I filled the bag. Most of it was cans, plastic bottles, vodka bottles & fast food containers.
I feel like it is well worth picking up litter when I go out walking but I just wish people would use the public litter bins and stop dropping it on the ground. I can only hope that people will give up this dirty habit. And of course there are lots of groups who meet up regularly to clean areas. You can read about them here and here. It all helps!
