life is demanding without understanding

Went for breakfast at the café by the river this morning, and looked at why the road is closed for two weeks. There is a remarkably deep trench going from some brand new buildings to, er, somewhere, with a very big digger parked next to it. Which explains things, really. Breakfast was tasty but a bit gluey—loaded hash browns, with sausage, bacon, melted cheese, a fried egg, and rather good mushrooms. I shall have an apple for lunch! Or possibly prunes.

I was doomscrolling yesterday afternoon and found a little video of a kitten making a lotta fuss. I turned the sound on, and Sable hurtled into the room with a face full of concern. She kept looking for the kitten in distress, and was most unimpressed when I showed her the phone.

Sometimes I wish she had a kitten of her own.

Yesterday we watched The Electric State, and I realised that I don't enjoy watching Chris Pratt. He always seems to play mostly-stupid, mostly-selfish characters who 'come good' at some point, and I find the type annoying. At least, I say 'always'—that probably isn't true, just the things I've seen him in. Is it type-casting? Is it pure coincidence that these are the things I've seen and I've missed the ones where he is a different kind of character? I don't know. Just, meh.

Things that made me LOL this week: Tom and Lorenzo describing Jason Statham as 'the gay porn version of Homer Simpson', which, yes. Yes he is.
