Sunday was a pretty lazy day catching up on sleep from the night before.
Had a late breakfast, and while eating breakfast saw what I could only describe as a grot. He took three pieces of toast from the pile in the serving area, then felt them with his hands to see if they were hot enough, then put two of them back on the pile.
