more cat play and a walk on the high line

pluto and atlas had another fun day together. their play can be rather rough, though the little movie i have here doesn't show this, nor their loud whiny growls. i'll have to try and get one soon, as atlas has been adopted. he meets his forever person tuesday at noon. she seems very nice and we've been corresponding about what toys he would like and what food he eats.

 

they get along very well.

chanda and i met our friends on the high line for a holiday visit together. they had been away in hawaii until september, and we only finally met today. october and november went by so fast.

 

the mist was beautiful. we're having warmer weather again now. it had gone down to 32 degrees, but today and yesterday it was 51.

 

the sun was starting to set . . 

when we stopped to have coffee and matcha tea.

then our children went their separate ways, leaving olga and i to have a chat and also to watch our friend's son's recital via zoom . . !

we were finally so chilled by the end of the recital that we needed to say good-bye and head home to warm up.

 

holiday windows along my walk home. this is a new store that opened just before covid.

 our pharmacy always has the prettiest scenes.

 

and the christmas tree family is back.

for dinner we had mackerel (bought at the green market this morning, so it was very fresh, which i've read is helpful with mackerel) baked with smoked paprika and onions, and kale sautéed with garlic (and paprika that was left in the pan from the onions) along with quinoa. it was the first time we had mackerel, and we weren't that enamored with it, so i don't think i'll be buying it again!
