A complete digression here but the Doc has taken up his blogging pen again and his camera and got a kitten too! If you want to comment please do it on Doc’s blog !
Our newest family member came to us via an incident on what would prove to be the winter’s coldest night (22 degrees F) – for it was on the morn following that frigid night that we discovered a tiny white kitten had apparently taken up abode under our deck side wood-stack – but for the next several days, our only clue was a tiny mewing sound that was heard now and then emanating from under the wood-stack.

Unfortunately, as a ‘maximalist’ communicator, I’m not allowed on Twitter – does Toby blog?
I like the maximalist communicator thing… I shall endeavour to entice him over to your blog for you… I think he has a tumblr blog but I’m not sure… :)
