Response To @Bustle Article: Cats See Humans As Bigger Cats😺

“Cats apparently think humans are bigger, clumsy, hairless cats, so that’s adorable” (Nina Khan, Bustle)

I came across an article on the Bustle website during Saturday afternoon. I was drawn to it, because I’m intrigued by animal behaviour and with cats being one of them. I was excited to read on more, so I could understand the title. It’s interesting how something can just stand out at you; encouraging you to investigate further.

I’ve always been puzzled by cats behaviour and wondered how animals view us humans in general. Especially flys, I learnt recently they have multiple eyes, so their eyesight maybe all over the place (who knows???).

Cat communicate through their body language, gestures and vocal expressions (meowing) to signal what they want. If you respond to a cat in the same way, you get into this meowing match😂. It’s weird, because it raises a thought in your head. Do they understand what you’re saying? Because it might mean something in their language. Or you could just appear friendly to them, making it likely to want to play with you.

I would suggest reading the article above, because it gives insight from an feline expert on the communication between cats and humans. You’ll be able to understand the dynamic in the interaction. Also, there is content on YouTube too, to help get to know them and their behaviour. It’s suitable for anyone who’s interested or looking to become an owner of a fluffy kitty in future.

Full Moon: Close ups🌕📷

Hello,

I’d like to tell the back story to these photographs.

“A while ago, I was walking home and came across the crescent moon in the sky. I went in my house to get the camera quick and as I came back out, it was gone.

I made it my mission to capture the moon the next time it was out. That opportunity came on 23/7/18. I was outside hanging clothes on the line. Then, I looked up and saw the full moon shining bright.”

This is the outcome…🌚

A way through the lesson

There’s a sign that keeps you guessing

Till it all makes sense and that’s a blessing

Overall calmness until the next session

That sparks the next thought and question

Would your brain let you believe it was only messing?

It drifts away as it is closed in less in

Throw it away in the nearest bin

There are a list of things are that are sins

As you learn all comes from within

Signing out….

Welcome back👋🏾,

This is the first blog post of this week.

I’ll be sharing a link to a video slideshow of the images captured in Cannes.

In nature again, I took a whole bunch of photographs. I did a bit of walk around, it was similar to going on an adventure because there were many avenues leading to different places.

You have to find a way to get to the other side across the lake. However, it’s trial and error with finding the route to get to your desired destination.

There are only two pictures to be shown in this post.

Photography: Reservoir Laking Lurks 🐟💦🕵🏾‍♀️

There are places to be discovered in London, when you’re looking. You will find it.. This can lead you to other places you wouldn’t think existed. Obviously, google images can only show you so much. It’s better to see it with your own eyes as it appears freshly before you.

These pictures were captured in the East London area of Walthamstow, in the surrounding nature lands.

Top 5 Benefits Of Online & Retail Shopping 🛍

This was written a couple of days ago: Yesterday I decided to write this post because it came to my mind that shopping can be programmed to be seen in a negative light. Understandably, excessive shopping and impulsive purchases are an issue. However, if it’s done in moderation and you’re able to save more than you spend then it’s better.

I’m going to list top 5 reasons for retail therapy ( one list for online shopping + another for in-store retail) below👇🏾:

Online shopping

  1. Better selections: You can find stuff online that necessarily you would not be able to find in a  store.
  2. Peaceful environments: In-store shops can be busy at certain times and period so if you prefer quieter environments, you’ll be able to do it from the comfort of your own home.
  3. Variety: There’s more of a variation online, rather than the limited options inside shops. Stores can only stock so much, so therefore online it gives a company a chance to display all their items.
  4. Deals and discounts: There are always discount codes or deals that can be used with purchases to reduce costs. It can be helpful especially when you’re tryna to stick to a budget or being able to buy more items and spend the least amount of money.
  5. Efficiency: the process is quicker online in general. You can select the items, pay and wait for it to come. Nowadays, we even have the option of next day delivery, so you don’t have to wait too long for it.

Let’s move on to in-store retail…

In-store retail

They are still very much needed because it provides a safe base for companies to keep their businesses running. The only way I can explain is by comparing it to a warehouse store. It is a place to keep storage at. The difference is you can buy from this warehouse store, which you wouldn’t be able to do a regular storage unit.

  1. Delivery options: When you get something online, you are given the option to deliver your purchased items to a nearby store. The service is called click and collect, this minimises the chance of having a missed delivery or other complications.
  2. Pre-selection: In-store shopping only works if you know exactly what you want to get and you know the store very well. Otherwise, your day can get very very longgg.
  3. Instant gratification: Usually instant gratification isn’t something you should indulge in all the time because it can lead you to do impulsive and reckless behaviours. Online shopping is delayed gratification, which is better because of the anticipation of your goods. You don’t have enough time to think about what you do. In terms of shopping, if the store has your item, you can get it then and there. It makes you feel content with your trip because it hasn’t been wasted.
  4. Loyalty cards: I think it’s one of the best things about stores, you can sign up for loyalty cards so all your points are collected and are able to use for future purchases if you don’t have the money or the sufficient funds. It also provides you with deals or coupon which are beneficial for managing your finances by reducing your spending.
  5. Tried and tested: This is one of the main ones, you can try on the clothes or shoes to make sure it’s a perfect fit. Most shops have changing rooms, so it’s easier to do so now.

Photographic Dimension: Bournemouth, Dorset 📷🏖🇬🇧

Hi back again👋🏾,

I got a couple of landscape photographs to share. These were taken at Bournemouth beach, which is situated in southern England. When you’re on the coast, you’re near the beginning of Europe; with only the sea acting as a boundary between the two. It’s weird to think of it from that angle but that’s basically what it is.

The Post During The Coast ☕️🚶🏾‍♀️

There is no real reason for this post, other than the fact I haven’t uploaded one in a while.

I just suddenly had the urge to write something (I got inspired too by reading someone’s post I came across not long ago).

There is no direction I’m going in this one🤔.

The title basically describe the basics, I’ll break it down for you. When you’re by the coast, you are idle and surrounded by very little. So, therefore you have the time to think and explore your thoughts. Similar to this current moment, I hope the analogy sounded okay for you guys reading this.

However, I will be releasing a post on Wednesday. I haven’t decided on a time yet but it will be likely to be in the evening or during the day☺️

Thank you for taking time to read this post & watch out for the next one😉
