Huh, so apparently all that wind has been blowing over a ton of dust as well - explains why my car looked like someone had splashed a light layer of mud all over it today. Fieldwork went well enough despite the gusts, and it was nice to be back doing something I feel competent in...

Glad to be out of the elements this evening just as the wind hits. It's nice to be spending my evening gazing at sox, who is still too slinky and elusive to photograph properly in the dim light of this apartment, and is still busy marking her scent on everything possible, including power cords, paper bags and plant pots. She herself smells remarkably of baby powder.

No more hissing, though I think it'll be a couple of days yet before we get to snuggle time. She was a bit unsettled by the wind noise and kept glancing up nervously while eating, but I think my standing near her while she ate helped calm her down.
