BIRDIES

Decided not to do the challenge today as I wanted to blip the wood pigeon and female pheasant which I spotted on my garden fence this morning.

Went to the theatre again this afternoon - saw The Ladykillers. I have seen the old Alec Guinness film from years ago and the modern version starring Tom Hanks. The production at the Theatre Royal had a few TV stars in the cast - including Michele Dotrice who played Betty in " Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em " which was on TV in the 70's. I really enjoyed the play - the acting was good and the set was excellent - lots of moving parts and gadgetry.

As you may know I have been feeding a " stray " black fluffy cat for a while now and named it Fluffy - not very original I know. When I was chatting to Cookie's owner Mark recently I mentioned this " stray " cat. He said " that's not a stray - it lives in the corner house ".

When I was waiting at the bus stop today to go to the theatre the lady who lives in the corner house came along and we started chatting. I asked her if she had a big fluffy black cat - she said she did. I told her how I had been feeding it for ages and how it has its own bed in my utility room and she was amazed. I asked her what her cat was called .... it's called Cheeky. So Fluffy is actually Cheeky and lives 2 doors down. Cheeky by name and cheeky by nature I think. I'm glad she is not a stray and has a loving home nearby - and I guess she will still be a regular visitor to my utility room. Neil will hope so as he likes Fluffy Cheeky better than Tino and Lily as Fluffy Cheeky is friendlier.
