Graham has a very active and physical life away from the computer, and what he brings to us from that is what makes him so interesting.

He lives in Namibia and explores the desert a lot; it’s a place he loves and understands. And whenever he’s been on a trip he comes back with pix and yarns for us, of people, animals, the road, towns and wildlife.

She regards me as her alpha monkey “husband”, she’s insanely jealous and gets very uptight if anyone,(especially a woman), approaches me. She would, I believe, defend me to the death against any attacker and has, on occasion, saved my butt by alerting me to the presence of snakes.

When she was about eight months old she climbed a power pylon and was electrocuted. The vet managed to save her, but had to amputate her left arm and tail. Her disability has not affected her zest for life or her agility. I suspect though, that being tailless gives her more reason to think she’s human. Her accident probably triggered a protective response in me and caused me to give her a lot more attention than I otherwise might have …

Now Graham’s explained why he will likely be absent again for a while but I know his friends will be waiting to hear from him, and willing the best for him.
