On Caturday we sit in the sun and watch the birds sitting on the building next door.

A black and white cat sitting on a faded pink, white and blue striped cushion in a chair. The cat is looking up and to the right. Her body and head are black but her chin and belly and paws are white.

I love walking towards one of the original buildings on campus. The big front entry on the first level, with the large stairs up to the high four column portico is such a classical design and is a relief to look at given the plethora of nondescript buildings that surround it.

A three level white building in the lower half with a brilliant blue sky in the upper half. The ground level is open to allow pedestrian access.

When you’re a bit early for dinner you have a cocktail while waiting for others.

A long stemmed cocktail glass with red liquid and a white frothy layer on top. A small purple coloured flower is resting on top.

🍀 I wonder if I can get an Irish Coffee at the cafe this morning. It is St Patrick’s Day after all.

A road along the river near me is a shared space for pedestrians and cyclists.

I often think how this sign is good life advice and not just a caution to cyclists.

I sometimes need to remind myself to take time to enjoy the world around me instead of ticking the next task off.

A large yellow rectangular box painted longways on the road. "Slow down" is painted in large red capital letters in the top half.

Sometimes you need a lot of patience when you live with a cat. There’s a reason I sometimes refer to Ms Ali as “my little lunatic”. 🐈

A black and white cat sitting on a clothes airer that is hung over the top of a door. The airer extends horizontally from the doir and the cat is sitting precariously across the thin wire bars of the airer.

📆 The Ides of March. Time to settle your debts and keep an eye on that friend named Brutus.

I love travel and I especially love flying. I often refer to it as being up in my happy place. I will never cease to enjoy looking out to the horizon just as the sun is starting to appear.

A view looking out of a plane window towards the horizon. A small part of the engine is visible to the left and bottom and the bottom half of the view are white clouds and the upper half blue sky with a bright stripe of sunlight separating the two.

Who doesn’t love a collection of ice cream. 🍦

A variety of brightly coloured ice cream in a fridge cabinet.

Every episode of Star Trek Picard S3 has fan service in it.

Episode 4: “Admiral you have the con”, TNG music starts, Picard sits in the middle chair, does the uniform shirt pull down, gives a heading then the finger point “engage”.

Perfect callback to TNG and I loved it.🖖🏻📺
