Colin

We've got a little baby at our house. When I was in Kununurra I was nearly sick with jealousy when my housemate sent me a pxt of a beautiful little fluffy ball who they were cat-sitting. She told me he would be at our house for another week which meant I would get a whole day with him when I got home.

Well that was over 10 days ago now, and I have now had 10 days to fall in love with this beautiful little boy.

His name is Colin. Well it's not, his name is Casper but I keep making up new names for him. When he came to our house his name was Mike, but the housemates re-named him Casper. But he doesn't look like a Casper to me. So far he has been Colin, Konrad, Gerald, Gordon and The RZA (thank you Spazzy for that one). He is such a little beauty. He had a kitten-cold when I first got back, but Maggu and Mazza have nursed him back to health beautifully and now he spends most of his time running around the house. He likes having little sips from the shower and playing with the bell that came with my Lindt bunnies from a new pal. The new pal is allergic to the little boy, but he's coming round to him. Everyone does. Even Toby the animal hater fell a bit in love last night and let him sit on his lap.

I will feel empty and alone when he has to go back to a real home. But we'll make sure its to someone who will love him just as much as we do. Little baby boy.

I'm at Dad's house for a football evening. I have missed this since moving out again. Although I have picked up a Football watching pal in Maggu (and the Commercial Rd lads), I have missed annoying Dad with my stupid comments about the crowd and everything except the football itself. I've got my little spot on the couch, he just made me a nice cup of tea and Stoke just scored their third goal against Arsenal which means Arsenal are out of the race. Tonight is going to be very exciting. I should have had a sleep this afternoon but there was a nice dinner to be made.
