I've forgotten where I last posted.
Okay, since then, I have been in London, Rotterdam, Seattle, and now Portland, and I am leaving tomorrow on a train for a couple of days at a friend's house in Sacramento, before hopping on the cruise in San Francisco and heading for Hawaii.
Ooh, Sacramento weather might even be halfway to warm!
Anyway, met up with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
beatrice_otter today and we had a grand time wandering about Portland!
The place I'm staying in is very nice, but a bit on the chilly side. It's a tiny house, and while there is an HVAC heater, I should really just like another doona or blanket on my bed. The owner - one of those people who owns multiple properties - said she'd try to get her cleaner to deliver and extra cover. Alas, I doubt the cleaner will manage to deliver one this evening - we're out of daylight and I can't see them coming by in the dark.
So my options are wear extra layers to bed, or pile my coat and other things on top of me and hope they don't slide off in the middle of the night.
Tomorrow will be the overnighter on the Amtrak 'Coast Starlight'. I think I'm on the mountains side rather than the ocean side, which isn't where I want to be, but ohwell.
I was going to go out to a cafe tonight and do some writing, but I'm really tired. The bed here is too soft, and it develops really deep dips which isn't great for my posture, and so today I've been getting twinges along my back and hips. (The bed in Rotterdam was excellently firm, perfect for me to just straight up conk out on. The bed in Seattle was really soft but it worked.)
Early bed, I think. Maybe some writing.
