**TV tonight is on point

**Clever those telly people aren't they? Pre-empting the fact that Monday is the most rubbishest of all the days, the tend to put the good stuff on tonight. Mondays ATM the moment are particularly strong though; you've got Broadchurch over on ITV, Girls on Sky Atlantic, Revenge on E4, The Walking Dead on Fox.... Plus, on the off chance (read: super likely chance) that your housemate has hogged the TV to play whatever terribly violent shooting game is currently e_n vogue_, retreat to your room with your laptop because Netflix have just today added one of Drew Barrymore's finest pieces of 90's work Ever After: A Cinderella Story.

**It's sunny pretty much everywhere today

**Unless you're in Northern Ireland or the North East of England, today's looking pretty nice and sunny for you, which, I think you'll agree is a darn sight better than a whole bunch of wind and rain. Sure, it's still too cold to play outside but if you wrap yourself in a scarf, stand next to a window and tilt your face to the sun it's almost like it's summer again. Plus, the vitamin D will do you good.

**You can listen to this song all day today because no-one tells you what to do

**And headphones exist for a reason.

**Your week probably won't be anywhere as near as bad as this lady's (and she still managed to change the world)

**This story made me cry on the tube this morning. Told at a Moth event (those real life story telling events that we've told you about before) Mary-Claire King's tale about her week from hell, the people that helped her get through it and the world-changing outcome that strode triumphantly out of the other side is everything you need to motivate yourself today.
