Home Sweet Home

This is Corrie the neighboorhood cat. I am sure this is not his name but that is what I call him. He does have a collar, it says he belongs to the house next to us and I have seen them open the door to let him in before.

Not sure if you can tell in this picture but it is raining. I always feel so sorry for the little guy when I see him out in the cold rain but he seems to enjoy it. I am still not used to 'housecats' being allowed to go out all of the time. In the states when you see a cat outside it is usually a stray and doesn't have a home as they do not wonder around like here. My cats were brought inside as soon as their eyes and ears opened and if not in a carrier box have never been outside. I could never dream of allowing them to go wonder around outside, I would be way too scared!

By the way... if you are wondering why I call him Corrie... it is because he reminds me of the black cat in the opening sequence of Coronation Street (a UK soap). Watch the below clip, you will see the cat at around 12 seconds in, you can even hear him meow.

It's a sad day on Coronation Street... Poor Liam... Hit and run... Dead on impact... Will Corrie ever be the same? Who am I going to look at now?

And look at Tony on top of him trying to act as though he is not the one that paid the driver to run Liam over! Come on buddy.. you don't have me fooled with your cute little Scottish accent. Pah - lease! Hopefully everybody will figure out his game very soon... and I don't think I would want to cross Carla when she's in a bad mood!

They have been building up to this moment for quite a while now it's just honestly sad to see him go, Liam was always there for his cute looks and funny comments. Okay enough of Corrie...

Today started out pretty cold and rainy and then the sun did come out just long enough for Andy to go on his walk around the park and then down to the shops for things we needed. I had him pick me up some Decaf PG Tips tea as I am starting to get a feeling that is part of the reason I am having trouble sleeping at night. We will see if this helps.
