Our cat Ebby

The old man is poorly. Ebby, our 13 year old rescue from Leigh dog & cat home, is the huge neighborhood top-cat. As lovable as Bagpuss yet as hard as nails, but now very sad to look at. 

He was discovered this afternoon slumped in a trailor, very weak looking and limp. We brought him back indoors and are nursing him tenderly, offering him sips of water and giving him our warmth by cuddling him constantly.

Here is a picture of the handsome devil in his prime.

First Web Log ever for me.

Only started this because my iPhone has loads of new feature and I feel a need to make the most of the moment. I also want make an ongoing journal of my impending holiday, by uploading photos as we, Sam, Jordan and I, take time out abroad. I say 'abroad' because with just 13 days to go until I have booked the time off work we still have not booked anywhere. Kos is our first choice but when you join the queue at this stage of the game, I suppose, you get what you get.
