Run Rabbit Run

The latest message from Wales:

Billy’s sickie now a thing of the past. Daisy still v busy doing nothing although seemingly driven by  hectic schedule. Team psycho still diagnosing dodgy attention span. Oh well.

Great news. The motivational video worked. 1900hrs and resident staff having dinner … Billy appears in training room with catch of the day: a small alert-looking bunny seemingly unfazed by Billy’s stentorian growls. Dr D bollocks Billy for talking with his mouth full but he’s on a mission and already off at high speed for Garden Room. Cat deposits rabbit behind chair. Rabbit checks out situation, feints left then darts right for nearest corner. Hides behind small table.  Dr Dick checks situation and reckons on better chance of catching rabbit if in cat’s mouth rather than running free. Dr D moves table, Billy moves in fast, rabbit moves out faster. Rabbit breaks out of tight corner and scorches up-field, heading for settee in sitting room. Billy finishes looking into corner wondering why it’s now empty and pursues rabbit.  Sister Sue now in attendance and in position by French doors. Expletives from Dr D who most certainly doesn’t want dead rabbit buried in settee. Billy moves in. Rabbit re-appears at high speed and executes perfect arc across open space, sees Dr D, adjusts trajectory into tighter curve and accelerates towards French doors. Whole performance reminiscent of Usain Bolt coming off final curve and hitting home straight.  Sister Sue’s reflexes work perfectly and opens door just as rabbit reaches it. Rabbit surges through without breaking stride (although, possibly, wind) as Billy works out that it’s smart to be heading in same direction. Rabbit and cat both now outside again. Result inconclusive. Replay expected.
