Doing a lot of coding can be tough for the brain, so it is sometimes nice to find a good place to relax and let the mind wander. One of the best spots in town is the "Dark park", where the local stray cats are living their best life.
Even being surrounded by many famous tourist attractions, it is usually an empty walkway with some people sometimes handing treats and giving pats. The young ones are the most careful about approaching, but perhaps they recognize a familiar face.
Temperatures staying above 24C even in the night can be tough for some, the cats do stay in the shadows more. Especially, when the stone structures heat up in the sun shining from straight above. There is an old phrase, that the old does not need fun, but warmth.
The government organized summer feeding time is around 5, which always brings the Seagulls trying to harass the cats with their full bellies. They do keep their distance from humans, so some of the cats like to gather closer by to lay in the sun in peace.
Like in the human society, there are some who just want to enjoy the life, and some who try to make it more challenging. Over 3 years without being enslaved by a bank is coming to and end it seems, since cash is disappearing and most people do not want to understand money and its different forms.
As much as a Mediterranean paradise it is, the amount of people can become overwhelming when not used to it. Having a kind of an hermit phase for some years seems to have effected in weird ways. Not being happy, but not very sad either, kind of missing the old adventures, where so many things happen in one day.
Have been thinking, why the cats do not escape from their grounds? Food is surely one part, but they are quite effective bird hunters. Is it the thing that they are used to, and do not even think about it? The same is a good personal question, why does one do or do not do something?
Solving programming errors and finding new inspiration has slowed down quite a bit. Trying to do most things manually takes a lot of thinking and tapping, but it is very rewarding, when things actually start working. Most of the time it just requires a good night of sleep!
