One of the bonuses of getting yesterday’s PET scan done out in the Cartuja is that afterwards María Paz and I decided to walk back to the centre and had a great time discovering some quite nice “relics” from the 1992 EXPO. It’s mostly quite ghost-townish out there, with most of the old pavillions taken over as office space. But as you can see, it was a beautiful blue sunshiny day and this is some of what we saw.

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “dedication”.
Loki has always shown great dedication to his special talent: gravity testing. Here he is as a young kitten contemplating which object should be tested next…

I remember what a relief it was moving to the new casa az and not feeling the need to put up as much kitteh protection as I had at the old place. But when Luna came along I felt it prudent to at least put up a bit of protection to keep her from accidently falling off one of the balconies. Meanwhile, the upstairs windows and door out to the terraza have always had plastic mesh put about half-way up, mostly to keep Loki in and Pérez out. But as you can see, Luna has turned out to be quite the escape artist (la escapista!) and so I am going to have to add more mesh. Darnit.
You can see another escape attempt below…

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “welcome”.
These are all the welcome mats in my apartment building. I think my favourite one is the lower centre one which says “Apartment for sale, 110 sq metres, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, etc”. Can you guess which one is mine?

I started posting weekly photos on the Saturday Photohunt three years ago this month. Although I really enjoyed “playing” it was always frustrating leaving a comment with a link to my photo on the Photohunt Blogger site. Then sometime in 2011 the person hosting Photohunt switched to a WordPress blog after many people on the Photohunt Facebook group complained about not being able to leave comments on Blogger. What a relief that was, though since many of the “players” use Blogger I still had to just view their photos without being able to leave comments. Occasionally I would go through the 5-6 tries before Blogger recognised my Open-ID, and then go through a few more hoops putting in the wonky letter thing and whatnot, but most of the time I couldn’t be bothered. But least I was finally able to leave my comment on the Photohunt site!
Then the original Photohunt host retired in December and there was a scramble for “ownership”, which ended up a bit messy with two people starting new Photohunt blogs … both on Blogger! Why? Apparently because they are used to Blogger. And so to hell with the rest of us who don’t want to have to open a Blogger account in order to leave comments. You would think that someone hosting something like this would want to choose the blogging platform that was most comfortable for all users, not just for the person hosting. Apparently not. So I am outta there. It’s no longer fun. Adiós Photohunt!
