I love cats. Hoping to become the eccentric cat person I wanted to be as a kid.

I just wish I was rich so I could afford to adopt the old babies and have help as I got older

maybe you can help at a local cat shelter

or do cat sitting?

you're a sweetheart to be so kind 😘

Unfortunately I’m not able to do that at this point. It’s taking all I have to care for myself right now

beach

I need that calming.

the rhythms of the maintenance work around the beach, the fishermen, the bait catchers, people out for walks, joggers, dogs

all the wild life, the tides and weather,

being in it so many days a week you get to know it and get into the rhythm too

it's nice

[–] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Just went for a stroll around the block, it's absolutely lovely out there. Wished I could rack off to the beach for the afternoon!

Have you considered non-dairy milks in you coffee?

Lovely day for a walk though.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'm having oat milk coffees

and it is a lovely day, quite mild, not windy at all

Radio show review

Around the World in 80 Days. BBC.

I just couldn't enjoy this on account of what an appalling person Fogg is as well as all the racism.

Tho I do like how female characters in Verne stories are assertive. That was probably to show how weird the women were.
