just a girl and her nemesis

(yes I have very briefly reappeared here because I got to vote in a general
election of a country I actually live in for the first time ever!!)

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

how do we feel about homemade indoor-only cats at polling stations? @AndrewSparrow?

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

making a rare appearance here to introduce Malka

she was found in a park after a dog or fox attack, patched up by the vet and now about to live her best life 🥰

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

despite all optimism my knee is absolutely not well enough to go out, so there's a ticket going (free) to Baroque Hanukkah at @StJohnsSmithSq 7.30 tonight while I cry at home – please share!

@TheKnowledge_GU was watching ice hockey recently and came across the concept of the Gordie Howe hat trick (we also immediately named our quiz team this) – one goal, one assist and one fight in a single game. surely there must be football contenders for this too

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

@VictorianLondon would have been there in person if I wasn’t under strict orders to stay home! I look after the archive there 🙂

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

have torn the meniscus in my left knee and am under strict orders not to go anywhere for two weeks. feels like lockdown all over again except without all the free music content and I’m missing a lot of Christmas parties

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

@melindahaunton possibly time to revive my Netflix subscription… already one BBC series and one audiobook down

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

@mwatton2525 glad you realise what the most crucial implication is here! very much hoping to be back on 23 December but need to be sensible

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

@LizARees You’ll be disappointed to learn that I have never seen this before! (I am also disappointed in myself)

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

@jaymc82 this is exactly why this November I went on a much more suitable holiday

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

update: got to check my suitcase for free so there’ll be tortillas chez Kat before too long

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

complete souvenir collection 🥰 I hope BA don’t object to a tortilla press in hand luggage

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

also, saw this and immediately wanted to yell at them for not supporting that book correctly. #archivistproblems

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

looks suspiciously like the Fall of Man was the cat’s fault all along … ?

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

@Tomi_Tapio It’s not sharp

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

complete souvenir collection 🥰 I hope BA don’t object to a tortilla press in hand luggage

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

for the first time ever I’ve been told I can’t fly with my knitting needles (literally the same needles I had on me for the two previous flights on this trip). about to sit through a three-hour flight with zero things to do with my hands

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

weather update

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

having a bit of Weather here in Isla Mujeres which is sabotaging my beach plans. realised too late that the cafe I’m sheltering in has Eat Pray Love written on the walls. are we still doing this in 2023??

[Kat 🦁 @byekitty]

reading Aldous Huxley’s Beyond the Mexique Bay and would love to have his take on it
