The British journalist in Twisters reminds me so much of another actor and it's driving me crazy trying to remember who. I can picture his face and kind of remember a scene he was in (talking to a woman, convincing her to give him a shot or something, looking bashful and wearing a suit and glasses) but have no idea what it's from!

I'm doing two loads of washing and drying tonight just in case. I got shopping done this arvo. Hopefully the garden survives, I have a tree that sways a lot.

This happened a few days ago. Melbcat spat medicine on herself so I removed her collar to clean her up… found a small hidden patch of slight matting where her tags rub.
Completely unexpected since the collar is quite loose, I check to ensure it isn’t rubbing her skin and give her scritches, and she has short hair that she independently keeps well groomed. But she can’t reach that spot between chest and neck. It was lower and to the side, created and hidden by the tags. And she normally doesn’t like me to brush her. I carefully snipped out a small piece with round tipped kitchen scissors and combed out the rest.
I’ve left her collar off for the moment but stressing about it.
Melbcat is an inside kitty but I still prefer her to be wearing her ID and name tags at all times in case she door dashes… but perhaps as a more comfortable compromise I could get a collar with her info embroidered on. Or maybe just buy a cheap soft collar and Sharpie it on. Just for her to wear as ‘pyjamas’ around the house.
Other considerations are a smaller softer brush to get at her chest/neck fur with, a bib for medicine time, and a more washable collar.

TV Review. Walking and Talking by Kathy Burke. amazon
What a seeming simple show until you realise that all the streetscapes are actually sets and that there is strict structure to the narrative
A short autobiographical series by Kathy Burke of her teen years growing up in Islington, the people in her life, the places, her dreams and how she starts on the road to theatre, writing and acting.Each episode opens with her in her bedroom talking about the artistic influences in her life, the music, the movies, the books, ( including Ulysses 😉 ) . All the working class heroes in the arts who inspired her.
And then it's her and her fave mate Mary walking home from school, the people they meet, the places, the little adventures, learning about life.
Nice little cameo as a nun who teaches at her school. They did her up as a man dressed up as a woman dressed as a nun.
4 Hobbits but then I'm biased as I love everything she does

tv review of some old stuff . Hancock's Half Hour. The Blood Donor. 1961.
This is some great writing , the way they can evoke mental images is just amazing and the main character, Tony, is someone we can all relate to.
Bought a bike from cashies, but can't quite shake the paranoia that it might have been stolen and pawned or something, after taking it home, so that's been a fun damper to the day.
