Last but one walk on the beach

It was cloudy today but the beach is always worth a visit. Saw this Seagull he is, I think, rather Puffinesce.

I Don't Want Your I D

Richard mentioned that Straycat was looking rough these days and its true that when I got here he did look skinny and mangy. However over the last 10 days he has perked up and is back to looking his hottest ( which is all honesty is only ever warm ) I looked in Publix today for some over the counter parasite medication but have not found any so far. Anyway he was very happy this morning , looking his best having survived last nights storms.

I See You Baby

I spotted a little Eleggua symbol stuck on a lamp post in Coral Gables this afternoon. Although many Cubans practice Santeria & Yoruba there is not much evidence of it on the whole. I don't know much about it but I spotted this spirit from across the street.

'I am going to make a list of all the attitudes and short comings that did not serve me this year and I don't want to take into the next' How totally inspiring: I of course make a list of all the stuff I want,to be thin, brown, rich, get laid a lot, write a book, decorate flat, have a laugh, advance spiritually.
Yet its also good to remind myself of all the things I am grateful for, my friends, son, dog, flat, London, job, sobriety and sense of humour. Good idea though to think about what I don't want to take into the next year, I don't want to be scared, negative, mean, depressed, lazy, impatient or unkind. I do want to be positive, proactive, hard working, generous, active, energised, focused and loving.

The Writing Is On The Wall

I Have Tried In My Way To Be Free

There were 3 rows of Jay Birds hanging on the wires across 15th Street this evening. It reminds me of St Giles and Eddy's pigeons.

One Woman One Bowl

It is a little reminiscent of '2 girls 1 cup' if you have not watched it then maybe don't bother. This is the most divine acai (yet another superfood name I can't pronounce) crunch bowl from Apple A Day whole food cafe on Alton Road. The servings are so big and they give me so much pleasure ( yes I should get a life but I am on holiday ) its unreal because it is actually just berries blended with low fat frozen yogurt. I was eating fries with Ryan and Richard later on and they give me so much pleasure too but they came with such a side order of guilt and shame ... tomorrow I am sticking to my diet.

Wild At Heart

On the way to get Black Bean Soup from Lime I pass a car park that is full of cats. Its hard to tell if they are stray or not as many of them are beautiful and have wonderful coats. As I stopped to look at them they all came over so I thought that they must, as Blanche would say be 'relying on the kindness of strangers.'

I got them a box of Purina on the way home and emptied it into various little piles so they could all get some without the dominant ones fighting them off. They seemed pretty pleased. Today there was a Flea Market on Lincoln Road and they had a stand where volunteers from a local cat charity were rehoming kittens and raising money for the feeding and neutering of stray cats. There does seem to be a high level of kindness to animals in this community which is so nice. I don't feel bad about leaving my Stray Cat when I go because even though I think I am his favourite human, lots of other people leave out water and food for him and his comrades.
