Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

In the afternoon I installed MySQL according to notes I had taken the previous time. When I ran

mysql_secure_installation

I discovered I had to use sudo. I thought I had forgotten to write this down. Next I tried to connect to the MySQL server as follows:

mysql -uroot -p

But I got an error: "ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'". After some Googling I learnt that the security model in MySQL 5.7 has changed and that sudo is required if you want to login as user root.

The shy calico cat

In the evening my mother spotted a calico cat. I took my iPhone 5 and tried to take a few photos but the cat was very shy.
