“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities” - Albus Dumbledore, (The Chamber of Secrets) J.K. Rowling

One week in Blighty and Rufus is now so settled that this morning when dashing about the village green chasing crows, he chose to interpret the command  "come" as optional. 

After dog walking, lunch, a half hour video call with Robin in Baku, dismantling the Christmas tree, and walking to Asda supermarket for a few things filled my afternoon until bro came for dinner.The rest of my evening is being spent with Harry Potter and Indiana Jones.
