Just a heads-up. NO, South Africa is not burning! All is well and quiet and peaceful. Here at least. Some video and stuff is circulating about BIG riots and looting. Nope. Only a few isolated cases. The media and political bozos blow everything out of context. Yes, some shops were looted and some burned down, but not as bad as everyone believe. Some looters had realised what is going on and are now returning the stolen stuff to the shops. Can you believe? Well, it is true. So, take what you see and hear with a big bag of salt. The corrupt creep that started it all, is still in jail. (He even got permission to go out and attend his brother's funeral!)

Good news. Chapter 3 of Desert Rose will be up later today. Enjoy and keep the emails and comments coming.

For those of you who asked? Grumpy old voice is on holiday and will only make an appearance later in the story. (Sorry, not my doing.)

Regards, and stay safe!

Bye 4 now.

Hi there!
Winter is settling in good now. The cold front, out of the South Atlantic, struck Cape Town a few days ago. Now it is heading inland, and we can feel it here in the north. Morning temperature around 3c here, and the Red Head reports 0c on the farm, only 12 kilometres away.

Chapter 2 of Desert Rose will be available later today. Happy reading. Stay safe!

Bye 4 now!

A new dawn, or is it "night?" Well this time it will be a dry, unforgiving desert, rightfully named: The Skeleton Coast! Our hero will find himself in deep water. (I'm not allowed to say, SH&T.) Yes, water, sand, and what about the fire-eater red head? What about "Blood diamonds," or "Conflict diamonds?" Is there really "ICE" in the desert?

Find out for yourselves. Chapter 1 of "Desert Rose," will be up later today. As usual, your input and comments will be appreciated.

Stay Good! Stay Safe!

Bye 4 now!

It had to end. Somewhere along the line, we all knew that the end was insight. So here is the last chapter in the Stray Cats Hunt in Darkness story. It was a fun writing it and the feedback I received was good. I thank you for all the comments and emails. It is, as always, appreciated. I don't write in a vacuum. There are readers out there, and I like getting feedback from them. From the USA to as far as Ukraine, Vietnam, and too much to mention here. You know who you are. Thanks.

Good news: The next story is in the oven. Chapter one is halfway, baked so far. So, watch this space. All I can say is: Something new, something fresh… and there may just be a red head involved.

Stay good. Stay safe!

Bye 4 now.

The Leopard, the helicopter and Daiki? Will Daiki get away from both? And what's it with Nadia in Poland? Well, let's see where this go. Much more drama and fun in this latest delivery.

And here with us, we had no autumn. Winter was just down on us with vengeance. One day shorts and t-shirts, the next, winter woollies!

And we did survive the 21st minute, of the 21st hour, of the 21st day, (of June) in the 21st year, of the 21st century! Some noticed, some did not… but it was that time as well.

So, be cool, (LOL) stay safe, be good… Enjoy C24 of Stray Cats.

Bye 4 now!
