Wednesday 3rd October, 2007 - Tufty the Squirrel was the main character in a series of animated shorts shown on BBC TV during the 70's to teach children about road safety. His friend Willy Weasel always spends most of his time getting run over by a car. I was about five at the time and watching it used to give me nightmares. I managed to avoid flattening the squirrel in the road on my way home tonight though.
Thursday 4th October, 2007 - Saw this today, a cat in the middle of nowhere, perched on top of a milestone. I should have offered it a lift.

Tuesday 16th October, 2007 - Had friends visiting today, couldn't go out anywhere due to the rain.
Wednesday 17th October, 2007 - Yearly performance review at work today, seems to have gone ok. This one was very nearly "yearly review/heart and bowels lighter/going home" but I didn't want to put that image in your minds...

Sunday 28th October, 2007 - Got home from from visiting my parents, different flocks of birds were gathering in different trees, starlings, jackdaws, finches... It was quite spooky actually.

Wednesday 31st October, 2007 - Luke's Lane, about two miles from my house was the site of a hanging in the 18th Century. Thomas Colley was tried and executed for the murder of Ruth Osbourne, who had been accused of being a witch. His spirit is said to still haunt the lane in the form of a black dog. The full story can be found here ([link]). Luckily, in this case it was simply someone walking their labrador.
