Between a Rock and a Coffee Place
One day, a few years ago my husband made a joke about the Hollywood actor The Rock. I had never heard of him and thought I would google him later to see what such a strangely named person looked like. I then took my computer to be mended in a part of town I don’t normally go to. The repair shop wasn’t open yet, so I decided to get a coffee in a nearby cafe. It was a really nice cafe and for some reason I found myself wondering who owned it and asked one of the wait staff. I googled his name and the search engine returned a picture of the Hollywood actress Florence Pugh who (I discovered) was the proprietor’s daughter. And standing next to her was…The Rock!
