All of your plans sound fabulous and, I hate to admit it but, I am jealous of them. I am also jealous of your heading to Spain and certainly hope you do not experience any of the rain in Spain falling mainly on the plain.

Also, I think you inadvertently forgot to include the "link below" as, perhaps, the Scotch is taking a small tole!

It’s in the signature below, and despite currently drinking Absolute Vanilla vodka chasers with my home made Suffolk strong ale, AKA ‘wife beater’ I can remember!! Lol ⬇

Sounds delicious and now I'm really jealous!

(Aha! I think I have signatures turned off on my phone. A small thing that is easily remedied.)

Galapagos - Adventures of an English “Marine Aquarist”!

So with my 50th birthday looming on the horizon, it was time to plan something a little special. I really didn’t have any idea what I could do, but having just finished watching one of the latest David Attenborough documentaries, I was overcome by an idea of adventure. I mentioned visiting the...

Thank you, kind sir, for recognizing my "specialness!"

As a testament to my "specialness", it turns out I do, in fact, have signatures turned on. However, on a phone, one must orient the phone to "landscape" in order to see said signatures.

Here a picture of one of my fishy friends. I think it’s a Yellow Chromis juvenile, and will change to yellow later.

I’m currently still in spain avoiding the crazy English weather and hitting my golf balls far and wide, especially wide! Four!

All this reefing, Spanish golfing, Cape Verde going, Galapagos Island hopping and jet-setting kind of has me wondering...

If by "make it" you mean print it then here is a true story you may find short but interesting;
My father is 86 years old and spent about 40 years in the printing industry. Back in the early 70's (I think it was the early 70's but the exact year is fuzzy because I was just a wee lad) my father was working at a company named Cuneo Press in Chicago, IL, USA. One day, while at work, the FBI stormed the building in which my father worked. They grabbed two of my father's coworkers. They ended up being charged with counterfeiting as they had produced plates that were to be used on small printing presses to print money. They both were convicted and sent to federal prison. As it turns out, they had used the equipment and processing materials at Cuneo to make the illegal plates. Upon being questioned by the FBI, my father and several other employees "supposedly" knew nothing of these goings on at work. Some years later, when I was a young man, I asked my father about it. He told me that most everyone on that shift in their department knew that the two guys were up to no good.

So back from Spain and all is well so here’s another coral picture. A Goniopora ‘little fingers’ I believe

Very nice!

Along the same lines, through extensive and exhaustive searching and researching, I was able to acquire a close up of what is said to be your brain. I cannot divulge my source(s) but have been told this is from a couple years ago. One can only conclude that your brain might be in worse shape now.

And here is the pic of your brain without using the zoom feature.

Darling? Ohhh shhhtop... you're going to make me blush!

Don't feel bad. My brain pics look exactly the same as yours with one small twist; mine a dark brown instead of bright green. Apparently, you're good for several more years, minimally!

They showed me mine, looked like a cashew nut, I asked if that looked normal, "meh" was the answer I got!
