      Stopped for a quick Old Fashioned before my train back to Glasgow. Pointed at what I was pretty sure was just Yamazaki. 
      
      Turns out it was Yamazaki 12. Coincidentally, I am now 12x poorer

      I figured out how to sort of “solve” the problem of Patch peeing on the couch by getting a series of waterproof covers that get rotated out every time (this is a pain in the ass but better than having to replace the couch) but my dude, I’d really prefer if you’d stop peeing on the couch entirely
      Patch, a fluffy black Persian cat who is definitely not about to pee on the couch as soon as I turn around
