Oh no! Any particularly reason?

I am taking the break for a couple of reasons. First, to get a couple of months without having to pay around 500 quid per month and secondly due to the fact that my wife is very seriously ill and I wish to concentrate on caring for her. It will take a few days to exhaust the cache on my server. Yes, in the words of the immortal bard, William Shwartzeneger, "I'll be back". ..

Tom - very sorry to hear that your wife is seriously ill. I (and I'm sure everyone else) wish her a speedy recovery. If you ever want to convalesce in the tropical heat of Santa Cruz, let me know!

Good Morning All.

Keep your chin up Tom we are all thinking of you and of course your wife.

Lovely sunny morning here. Grass and plants growing like wildfire. Here is a link to my photos so far this year. https://photos.app.goo.gl/qBahifX0KLOcwRlc2
Sorry about the number of cats - we do have 15 at the last count!

That's Nube (Cloud) He is only 18 months old, born here along with Sol and Luna. He is a neutered Tom (not Nuttall) and about as soft as they come. Actually he is the most light footed cat that you could imagine when he jumps onto your lap - just like a feather landing.
However if you are a Terry Pratchett (RIP) Fan then you would know about Greebo and the sugar sweet description of this evil multiple rapist and smelly cat given by his owner - Nanny Ogg.
