jackThe last couple of days, after spending a weekend in the peak district with Liv and my family, and spending a couple of days with her in her little during-the-week flat, and visiting illusive_shell for catch-up and dnd, I took a bnb for one night in Hunstanton.
It was lovely, I love just watching the sea.
Both days, I walked along the sea front in opposite directions, and alternated walking with watching with sitting and reading Saga or Ms Marvel and texting people.
I also went to the Sea Life Sanctuary. Seals look sooooooo cuddly, I think I'd never seen them actually close up before. I hadn't realised their tails are actually back legs and tail all tessellated together, but can be separate as well. And that they don't paddle, they just whoosh forward by magic (presumably, wiggling). And often they float vertically and poke their heads out of the water, or up out of the water like meerkats, or leap out of the water to flop onto the beach. And then do it backwards.
Even cats couldn't teach them much about lying sleeping, though! And their chubby, cuddly short wet fur looks soooooooooo beautiful. And their little whiskery faces twitching expressively.
And wow, teeny sharks are ominous and cute. And rays are just, as always, unearthly and look like some sort of ghost-demon.
