Jack and the wood pigeon

Ally told me that he saw Jack rushing up to the windows in the back room this morning (safely behind the glass!) to scare away a large wood pigeon that was walking about outside. Our hero! Jack was so excited by this triumph that he became very skittish and ran around the back room like a kitten, pausing only to give his scratching post a good ripping. A good day at work, my job may be tiring but I do enjoy it! In the evening James and I took Grandma to a film that she has been wanting to see; The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. The cast comprised a bunch of top old luvvies playing retired people who end up in a dubious retirement hotel in India. It was very good - not surprising given the calibre of the actors - and Dame Judi Dench and Maggie Smith totally stole the show. We all enjoyed it. Jennifer had some exciting news for me, of which more tomorrow.
