The cat in question, who does not live in this house but is still annoyed you made a noise and woke him up from his slumber on top of the wardrobe

If you haven't seen it, Bill Watterson gave a speech in 1990 to his alma mater, Kenyon college

Full speech is here and it is absolutely worth your time: www.neil.blog/full-speech-...

This is my favourite part
But having an enviable career is one thing, and being a happy person is another. Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it's to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential — as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth.

The cat is staring at me in hopes of a second breakfast, but as soon as I look at him he sheepishly turns away and pretends he is not, after all, trying to get a second breakfast

Good morning
View of the morning sky - the sun will rise in 20 minutes, and there are beautiful reds, oranges and yellows close to the horizon, with wispy clouds taking on an orange tint

Scarily foggy out there, the city skyline lights have totally disappeared

Fog vs no fog
A foggy night scene with lights visible in the foreground but nothing at all in the distance The same skyline without fog, you can see far into the distance, there are high rise blocks with red visibility lights on the roofs

Not American and have never lived there, but I’ve done pretty well in terms of states covered thanks to my Amtrak trip ten years ago
Schematic map of the United States with states coloured according to lived/stayed/visited/passed/would like to visit I have taken stayed here to mean stayed overnight or longer, and visited to mean a visit/day trip Passed means passed through the state without stopping anywhere, which I did in many states on my Amtrak trip

I updated my mum’s iPhone yesterday and it’s now showing this screen (never seen this before in all the years I’ve had an iPhone)

Googling suggests it’s likely the result of putting in the passcode incorrectly too many times so it has locked for security

Is the only thing to do to wait?

My sister has snow in Norwich!
Looking out of a window to a driveway and street, there is a red car with a few inches of snow on top and the ground is covered with snow

I arrived at the flat 5 minutes ago, and the cat is already trying to pretend he has never been fed

Sadly, Sir - I am wise to your tricks
