Who's on a house sit now? How's it going?

@Angela_L what a cutie!! We are also directly under the flight path, and Roger is fascinated by watching the planes…hahaha…when you are retired, I guess it’s the little things in life :woman_shrugging:

@Joanne - does Roger have the flightaware app on his phone? Register but free version available. Displays a map of the are and everything flying. Click on a plane and it identifies it. Right now I can see AA 728 from Philadelphia to LHR making the turn to begin the approach.

Went to the Bethlem Museum of the Mind yesterday - wonderful museum of mental health on the grounds of Bethlem Hospital. Going to the Museum of Neoliberalism today.
Drawing by Louis Wain who was a patient there of a psychiatrist cat. And a wonderful tree through a window.

@toml, you do the best touristing! I’m always envious of your travels out and about.

Yes @toml he certainly does have the app. He gets bummed when the winds change, and the flight patterns are different :wink:

@Joanne - I was once on final approach to DCA (Washington National). We were doing the river approach, the plane follows the Potomac River downstream right to the runway. Just before landing, the winds suddenly shifted to we zoomed off to come in from the other direction. Had to loop around to the south and land upriver over Alexandria.
Pretty exciting but added 20 minutes to the flight.

What an adorable pic, that’s why we have two hands @anon36831737 … so that we can hold more than one mini Dachs or any kind of pet. Thank you for capturing the moment :camera_flash::dog::dog::blush:… Is this your first time with Lola & Stella?

On the travel side, as someone very familiar with Singapore what is it that keeps drawing you back?

Thanks @Ketch. The trip to the museum of Neoliberalism didn’t work out - even though I’d made a confirmed appointment, I and another couple got stood up - the museum didn’t open. I did get a email in the evening apologizing and explaining that the curator got sick.

There was a great coffee shop around the corner with delicious vegan pastries. Rhubarb and Custard Cafe

And on the way back, stopped in Lewisham at the street fruit market (much cheaper than grocery stores) and found the brilliant Migration Museum inside the Lewisham Shopping Center. Tells the story of immigrant migration to England - everyone’s - Germans, Jews, Italians, Indians, Caribbeans…

Not actually a restaurant but tables with menus from many immigrant owned restaurants in the area.

@anon36831737 - this is a great pair. I first visited Singapore during the SARS epidemic. Air fares and hotels were really cheap - no one was traveling….
There used to be some wonderful Singapore opportunities on Eatwith. I had a great dinner with an extended family on Christmas Eve once.

@anon36831737, your charges look adorable! I’m curious, when you got ‘stuck’ in Singapore in 2020 for 3 months - where did you end up staying? It’s too long/expensive for hotels I would assume, but also unlikely to have such a long housesit…

Last day of sitting with this little girl, and it’s been our longest sit to date. Our first sit together with only one animal, and it’s interestingly been a different vibe. We’ve loved our time with Beegu, and I know this one year old, is looking forward to seeing her family again.




She’s a big girl, who thinks she’s still a lap dog :heart:

And she looked across the land at what she is creating and she is pleased.
The question is, who is she that is observing?
Choose and focus on the possibility of what you want not what you don’t want.
Sending love from us here.

Tacoma, Washington with two kitties. Heading to a Seattle sit next week.
If anyone else is there let’s meet up.

What a fab picture @ExploreDreamDiscover it looks a beautiful day and kitty :black_cat: is obviously enjoying some peace and tranquillity, thank you for sharing.

To meet other members in Seattle perhaps put a post in the meet-ups channel. We had a great meet-up in London on Saturday which was only posted 10 days before the proposed date and we had 14 members attend, it was brilliant and we spent 5 hours exchanging stories, experiences, getting to know one other and discovering what we each did (and do) in our “real” lives, absolutely fascinating.

if you do post in meet-up it helps to share a date range or even a time and place. We love connecting and whenever there’s a chance of getting together we will.

Safe travels to Seattle :blush:
