      Exit row, middle seat is my jam. Window and the fuselage takes up some of my space. Aisle and the drinks cart (and people) constantly bump into my shoulder which pokes into the aisle. Exit/middle and I’ve got plenty of leg room, I don’t get bumped and I can get up for a wee without bothering anyone.

    Pretty awful day to be out and about but it was made bearable through teamwork (can’t believe I said that). I might do some work from home tomorrow and see if the cat can be enticed to enjoy some lap time on the oodie. In fact, I might do a bit of that tonight if I feel up to it… sox was remarkably affectionate when I got back and even did a bit of lap sitting in order to furiously headbutt my gloved hand. I suppose she must love the hand that feeds her the treats 😁

      I’m glad she’s warming up to you again, did it always take awhile for her to warm up to you?

        When she was younger and she lived in the same apartment complex at me she was pretty chilled out even on the first day, though it took her longer to get comfy enough for lap time.

        This time around she’s started off hot but then gone a lot further. I guess there’s not much else for her to do in this tiny apt either…

        Yes, I don’t think she was too happy at all about having to move and was certainly upset about it at the beginning. But I think food and warmth trumps a lot of misgivings and she definitely remembers me now even though I’m not in the same place.

          Oh yes, familiarity and territory is huge for cats! But thankfully so is food and warmth. She’s doing really well.

    It was a little cool down at the beach today. A jumper and slicker was not enough.

    There was a pair of masked lapwings and that swan followed me until I left the area.

    I found a squishy glitter fish fishing lure and a bunch of fishing line which I picked up and threw in the rubbish

              I’ve got some cheap ones and they’re ok for seeing stars in a basic way but you can’t see like Saturn’s rings or anything. Worth it to see the moon when full, looks awesome!
