Our temporary 'pet'.
Ms P left to walk to the swimming pool on Friday evening, I was struggling to get a mixer tap off that was all corroded underneath (I was lucky- the studding underneath was so corroded it fell apart as soon as I turned the spanner! Two minutes after she left the doorbell rang. I was in a bad mood because I dislike doing jobs around the flat almost as much as I dislike calling a plumber- assumed it was someone I didn't want to see. It was Ms P! and she had a pigeon that had been hit by a car.
We put it in a cardboard box- later in a hamster cage with some straw and bird food, water. We had him over the weekend and Ms P took him to a nearby bird sanctuary thing on Monday. Prognosis is good, should be flying around again soon.
He was a very good pigeon, and Misha the cat was not interested in him at all.

The tap replacement went unexpectedly well.
