My friend MT & my cat Katkin

My friend MT is originally from Rome, Italy. He's been living in London on and off for about 10 years now. He's such an avid fan of Italian football that he was almost gutted when he found out that he did not get any allocation tickets for the forth-coming UEFA championship in Switzerland and Austria. He is now off to Milan to see his family and watch football games with them. He is leaving tomorrow and won't be back until 18th June while I will be travelling to southern France to see Pete and Josep in Thuir. Mt is doing a P/T course in plumbing and is doing quite well so far. He of course needs to work a bit harder like the rest of us. The Italians don't like the French - it's so simple and plain. They won't holiday in France in stead they all go to Spain. Now that the French President Nicholas Sarkozy has married an Italian-born singer Carla Bruni, one does wonder how do they manage in their private quarters. We shall all live and learn or just be contented like my cat Katkin who is so adorable. She loves the warm sunshine and absolutely hates the wet rain. I remember once I had to hold an umbrella out for her to go out to do her business. But she is very cute and intelligent and wants to be noticed and pampered. She only eats the jelly of her wet food, which is so bizzaar or the manufacturer has put something in the jelly to make the cat addicted. C'est la vie.
