Dreamt of my dad last night.
Played one of his favorite songs, Moon River, over coffee.

‘Wider than a mile, I’m crossing you in style someday.’

I fluctuate between lattes and flat whites. Might attempt a mocha after a cold swim. I’ve got at least three spots where coffee’s loved and made beautifully. Walking to my trusted barista, music on, empty café, maybe a sunrise, it’s my favourite routine. Latte today ☕️

Well, I’ve received my first gift 🎁 Ruti jumped through the window carrying a dirty sponge of completely unknown origin! 🐾 🧽

If you’ve lost a dirty sponge in the northeast of Scotland, please get in touch! 😂

Fui por ostiones y me vino a la cabeza esa imagen de tantas veces compartiendo ostiones.

What a week for swimming: cold water, sunshine, flat and silky some days, waves on others 🥹 🌊

Ruti is starting to explore the outdoors! Looking for recommendations on good GPS cat trackers. Anyone have experience with them? She lives in Scotland, so ideally something that works well in the UK.

But I do remember deciding to survive. And somehow, I did

Now I’m here again, different rip, different pull. This time, I see it. I know better than to fight too hard, but the panic still hits some days. Some days, I float. Others, I dread how far I’ve drifted, how long until I find calm again.

I know a bit about rip currents. They can be deadly. I learned that the hard way. Years ago, I was caught in one, not by choice. That time, it took me by surprise. The worst I’ve faced. Thought I was going to drown. Didn’t know what to do. Can’t even remember how the hell I kept afloat.

Poser. If there were a Vanity Fair for cats, she’d be on the cover.

En promedio entre 9 mujeres son asesinadas al día en México.

La violencia comienza con el lenguaje y escala de lo sutil a lo evidente: del control y la desvalorización a las agresiones verbales y físicas, hasta su normalización.

Nurse Ruti 🐱 on duty 🩺, making sure I’m well looked after. The fluffiest caregiver I could ask for.

From one of my favourites, a reflection on what love is, a creature with no face…

George Saunders wrote, “Love just is, and you happened to be in the path of it.”
