Jack and the Mystery of the Missing Passport

Ally came home from his holiday in Magaluf today, I was very glad that he was home safe. He told us that Magaluf was really wild - not in a good way! Lots of people drunk, high, or just passed out in the street. I'm glad to say that this was not to Ally's taste, although he did enjoy his holiday. He had burned his shoulders at a water park on the last day so I rubbed some aloe vera after sun gel on them for him. It's so nice to have him back!
Meanwhile I had a stressful day looking for David's passport, which was missing. He had taken it to Dundee a couple of weeks ago as identification to get some money out of the bank, but was adamant that he had handed it over to me as soon as he got home. I was very worried; I couldn't remember this but the detailed way that David described it (he allegedly gave it to me upstairs and instructed me to lock it up in the cash box!) made me begin to picture that he must have given it to me. I have done a lot of tidying and throwing things out over the last week so after I had hunted everywhere in the house I thought that I must have thrown the passport out by mistake. So I emptied the wheelie bin out and checked every bag in it. It was raining hard and the content of some of the bags was very yucky including mouldy strawberries! There was still no sign of the passport and I was going out in the evening so I left James still hunting for it. Also by this time James had phoned the passport office and they said there was no way that they could replace a lost passport in less than seven days - and our holiday is in three days! When I was on my way home I received the following text from David: "Jack found my passport for me!!! It was just under my bedside table sorry for blaming you for losing it" Aaargh! Apparently as a last resort David had carried Jack into his messy bedroom and said "Find my passport!" and Jack had walked straight over to where the passport was. What amazing powers that cat has!
