R is for Reef.
In Sailing – to Reef is to shorten a
sail to maintain better control so that the boat is not overpowered
by excessive wind.
 |
| The sail in the fore-ground is reefed. Not well, as there is some pretty flappy fabric but still reefed. This was on the Nautos, at Key Lime Sailing, Key Largo. |
In Life – to Reef is to shorten a
task in order to gain enough time to do the on-line french lesson
that the app keeps reminding you it is time for as the cat takes his
evening nap on your lap.

| This is a 16 year old cat who won't hesitate to remove your arm if you try to move him. |

It really is. Thank heaven the app teaches it as though I were a child!! Oh, excuse, l’enfant!
DeleteI have given up on reefing my time this month - I seem to be permanently attached to my laptop these days - I leave it and do something else......then back I go again - commenting everywhere and preparing for the next day and the next AtoZ post - busy, busy, busy (my cat still finds my lap though)

DeleteLove the cat in your picture! I have one on my leg right now as I type this, and she appears in many of my posts (she has been MOST helpful with the A to Z this year!).
