Gone for a walk?!

Design maverick meerkat Ubuntu Desktop work

When I posted on Friday about my new friend I received a bunch of messages and a couple of comments from people who were excited to see I had at least one friend Sadly, I came in this morning to find this note on my desk!

Rick has gone for a wander … I am assuming I will hear from him again soon.

If you see him, let me know! He’s adventurous but young and headstrong and I worry about him out there on his own.
