Relaxing day at the beach

I've been here 3 weeks but still have not felt totally ok with doing just nothing.  I did go out this morning to the center of Villanova (less than 1 mile) to get an American coffee and see if anyone there could help me with my Ipad.  But no takers.  The storage seems to be full and I cannot take any more pictures.  I do have an account with ICloud but don't know how to put my pictures on it.  I spent some time deleting duplicates but still no go.
At about 5:30am I heard a cat crying out my door.  It had really long cries.  I was cooking peppers and I think it smelled them knowing it was some kind of food because when I put a piece of cheese down for it, it attacked it like it was starving.  It's a girl.  I named her Sugar because later I saw her kneading the floor in my kitchen just like Sugar used to do while purring.  She is tiger with a lot of white.  She looks to be about 5-6 months and I think someone must have taken her from her familiar place and dropped her off nearby.  I got her to come in.  I gave her some milk and more cheese. She stayed a bit, purred and washed herself.  An orange kitten raced by outside my door.  Sugar noticed and went right out to look.  I think Orange (I named him) was probably part of the litter.  But Sugar came back in and cried for more food. After a while she left down the street and I haven't seen or heard of her again today.  I emailed Marco, Claudio and Filomina about this lovely kitten.  Filomina's husband and one of her sons is a veterinarian so I know they love animals.  Filomina came by later and was noticeably concerned that the kitten had left.  She said I should keep it in if it comes back because she knows a few people who would love to have a kitten.
I made a salad.  I took a nap.  I then went out in my beach chair and watched a fisherman with again the longest pole I have ever seen, trying to get a fish.  He kept moving from one spot on the rocks to another.  Still no fish.  He had a green bucket which maybe had bait in it.  But the pole looked like it didn't have a reel.  It was just really, really long.
I've noticed a big difference in the heat of the sun on my skin.  3 weeks ago,  I couldn't bear how hot the sun felt.  Today it felt really good.  Not hot at all.
And the Black Lab puppy is back.  I haven't seen him since last week.  He was out walking, leash-free with a different man.  I recognize his bark from down the street.  I went out, called him and he came running.  We played for a bit and then he bolted down the street in the direction of his man.  Not the man who was out walking him today.  Back to his home.
Things are really, really quiet around here now.  The people noise is gone.  All there is is the noise of the ocean waves outside my door.  Nice.  Really nice
I think the Summer season is over here.
