My cat was making it difficult for me to be on the computer just before too. She gets really insistent on sitting on someone's lap at times and if you don't let her she knocks things over, scratches the furniture, or jumps in places that she know will get the most attention, like scrambling to get behind the computer amongst the wires.

I live about 5 minutes walk from the beach and probably have never lived much further away than that. I don't think I could cope with suddenly being far away from it. It's such a part of life. I don't actually stop there that often, but I will take the dog a swimming sometimes, and I drive past it or at least see it every time I leave the house. Our neighbors have a fantastic sea view but they're up above us. We need a second story (if only).
