something edible something audible

Party at Rob's apartment. 
Everyone bought something to eat. 
I brought:
Pumpkin soup,
Bread stick,
Cream
I was not sure what support stuff he'd have so I took along paper bowls and bamboo spoons,
Pepper grinder,
Cream
Ladle.

There was tones of food.  Greek paniota cheese quiche, a curry thing,  pizza etc.

Then we each played a bit of music.   I love this because these guys are so eclectic but they all know so much. 

Need to look up the saints 1970s punk band from Brisbane. 

I played Laurie Anderson "only an expert "

Video unavailable


https://support.google.com/blogger/thread/169158739?hl=en

 

I was looking at a blog post of mine from a while back and it said "This video is unavailable".
The video was one I had taken and uploaded to youtube and did not have any music on it.  Went to youtube and the video is still there and plays and everything.  So it is not a copyright issue.
The blog post is:
The youtube video is:
If, on the blog page, I right click on the black rectangle that represents the video and chose "Copy Video URL", I get https://youtu.be/2fOdVw2n8Ik which is correct.  So it is not that somehow the youtube url has changed.

I tried this on both firefox and edge. 
Not all videos on my blog have this problem. Most are fine.

So the question is "Why is it showing as unavailable when it clearly is available"?
AND
What can I do to make this and any other supposedly unavailable videos be available again?

Top Gun Maverick

Jemma and I went to see Top Gun Maverick. It was nice to do something father daughter time.  I'm feeling pretty detached. Disconnectted. Still feeling rejected. Lost. Lonely. Incompatible.

I was impressed.  I liked it.  The movie that is. Usually sequels are pretty ordinary but this one was pretty good.  Felt they had done a good job of leveraging off the past and bringing in a new story line. 

Seemed very PC.
A geek guy "Bob" who of course did his job well.  I wonder if he was written in at the request of the Navy in exchange for using their planes. To show that not all aviators are hot head extraverts.
Female pilots.
Interesting no black pilots. Seems like these movies put black guys in as top brass.
The love interest story line was nowhere near as intense as in the original. Triggered me a bit and I got remorseful, resentful, angry,  introspective. 
Did not mention the target country.  Obviously scripted before Ukraine. 

Did you notice all the old canvass covering bits of F14 ? Wonder if they were filming in planes with classified avionics?
