Bye for now, #GranCanaria 🇪🇸
The week in #Maspalomas went so fast. See you again next year 😎

A plane parked at LPA airport at sunrise, seen from the terminal window. Luggage is being transported to the plane on a small truck, and a few of the ground crew can be seen wearing bright reflective vests. Another plane can be seen taking off in the background.

Useless but fun fact: the €5 bill I got in change at a bakery in Paris 🇫🇷 this morning was 584 km (363 miles) away in Germany 🇩🇪 1083 days ago.

A few of the stray cats I saw last week on the Greek island of #Amorgos 🇬🇷

The kitten climbed into my backpack! If I weren't so far away from home, I might not have let it go 😹

An adorable kitten, possibly a tabby-calico mix, lying on a stone wall with the sea blurred in the background. Three orange cats along the front of a white building, all looking in different directions. A grey and white cat looking out from behind a wooden cafe table set up on stairs. A short-haired grey cat with tiger stripes on its front leg sitting by a fountain.

We're leaving Paros 🇬🇷 tomorrow. This cat has been the best thing about the hotel here.

A mostly white cat with brown/grey patches poses beautifully for the camera. It has pale yellow/green eyes and its left ear is missing.

Meet Meatball. He resides at the restaurant where we had lunch today in Paros 🇬🇷. He slept next to me the whole time we were there. This was some serious napping.

A white and grey cat sleeps on a chair under a restaurant table, his white back paws and dark grey tail dangling prominently off the front of the seat.

Hello from Greece! 🇬🇷 I can't believe how perfectly this cat posed for me today in the Naxos village of Apirathos.

A grey tabby cat, missing the tip of its left ear, lies on its side looking at me, paws pointed forward, in an old stone building with blue sky visible where the roof and a window once were. Tall greenery has grown inside, behind where the cat is lying.

Morris left us 6 months ago but he would have wanted to wish everyone a wonderful #InternationalCatDay today.

Morris nous a quittés il y a 6 mois mais il aurait voulu souhaiter à toutes et à tous une excellente #JourneeInternationaleDuChat.

Morris, a long-haired orange tabby, looks at the camera as he sits at the dining room table with a coffee cup in front of him. His fluffy tail curls up over the armrest of the chair.

J'ai bien fait de rentrer du bureau à pied. Cette scène m'a fait sourire sans que je sache trop pourquoi.

Glad I walked home from work. I don't know why but seeing this made me smile.

Two women, seen from behind, stand on the Pont de Bir-Hakeim bridge facing the Eiffel Tower. One of them is wearing a fancy dress, possibly a wedding gown, and holds a string of colorful balloons.

It's so nice being in #GranCanaria again. I could walk the #Maspalomas beach for hours.

Quel plaisir d'être de retour à #GrandeCanarie. Je pourrais marcher des heures le long de cette plage.

Beautiful blue sky over an uncrowded and seemingly endless sandy beach with the ocean to the right. A few people can be seen walking far ahead of me.

The language geek and cat fan in me couldn't resist picking up this sweet little book when I was in #Ireland 🇮🇪 last week. There's a version for dogs too. Both are also of use to humans curious about the #Irish language.

#irishlanguage #languagelearning #langsky #catsky #booksky #booklovers
Cover of the book "Teach Your Cat Irish" by Anne Cakebread. The cover is green with a cute illustration of a black cat's face in a white circle. Two pages from the delightfully illustrated book "Teach Your Cat Irish" by Anne Cakebread. Here, we learn how to pronounce "dia duit" (hello). It involves a gargling sound.

Standing in #Dublin 🇮🇪 smiling and waving at people in #Philadelphia 🇺🇸 as they smile and wave back. The world needs more of this 🫶

In Dublin after dark, on a large round screen in the street, we see it's still daylight in Philadephia where a small group of curious people smile back at us. We see the back of a guy on the Dublin side waving at the screen.

Yours truly sitting on a blue bench in the Malahide Castle gardens. The back of the bench is in the shape of a blue butterfly towering above me. Yours truly sitting on a wooden bench with a large carved owl at both ends and four butterflies carved into the back, two on each side. A green lawn, a few trees and part of Malahide Castle are visible in the background.

Exactly 100 days until I go back to my happy place in #Maspalomas... but who's counting? 😅

A swimming pool at dusk surrounded by empty, backlit sun loungers at a small resort. An inflatable tube ring and a pool mattress, both in rainbow colors, float in the water along with a few small rubber balls. The sky, clouds, and palm trees at the back are reflected in the pool.

This picture makes me want to step inside it. I'll have what the lady & gent are having. Looks like onion soup. I wonder how the wine is. It must reek of smoke in there. Hopefully I have enough money of the time in my collection of old coins & banknotes for at least a drink...
