The Merry Month of May

I think Jack could tell that it's the merry month of May because he was in a delightful mood this morning and spent ages walking up and down on my recumbent form purring loudly before I got up. He kept making me pat him by putting his head under my hand and flicking it upwards so that it landed back on his head, and when I had my shower he sat on the other side of the shower screen companionably cleaning himself with his tongue. His next task was to wake up David which he did by loudly chewing a crisp packet that he found in David's bin, and then running out of the room with the crisp packet in his mouth. When we got downstairs Jack took me to inspect his bowl and watched me fill it with fresh chunks. After his breakfast he scratched the cat post and ran about a bit before sitting on top of the radiator in the back room. No wonder he has to spend so much of the day sleeping after all this morning activity! 

This evening Ally and I went round to Grandma's to put her eye drops in; she is looking great and you couldn't tell that she has had an eye operation so recently. She said her vision is still hazy and I hope that this is just because her eye hasn't settled down yet. She was in good spirits and is going with a friend to vote on Thursday. Jamie phoned to say that he has now printed and handed in his dissertation; it has more than 17000 words and he is so pleased that he has completed it. He has been making bread using our bread maker which he borrowed at the weekend and was very excited about that; he is so full of enthusiasm about everything he does, which reminds me of my Dad.
