It rained through Friday and well into Saturday morning. I stayed in bed to mid morning reading blogs answering comments and seeing what storm Bert had been up to around Ireland.
J and number one son had gone up to Dublin on a Friday to stay in a hotel and attend a family funeral.
J had instructed me that there was a tin of soup for my dinner in the cupboard and told me to put it in the machine that goes "ping" for 2 minutes.
Reluctantly I went about my smallholding chores and fed the dogs, cats and then the livestock. Fortunately they are all under cover but I still had to venture outside to get pig food from one shed and feed them.
Then it was the rabbits turn. There was no way that I was going cutting vegetables leaves on the veg plot and getting saturated. I had remembered to raid the bread cupboard and took half a loaf of sliced bread with me and squeezed in my anorak pocket.
The rabbits came out of their sleeping quarters and I gave them the bread. They devoured it and took no notice to the torrential rain.
I walked back inside the dwelling and lit the stove in the front room. Then I went back to writing a blog for yesterday. A couple of hours later I opened a tin of Heinz vegetable soup. I call it " posh" soup because it's got a ring pull and you need to use a tin opener to open it.
A few minutes later I had a lovely bowl of piping hot soup. I went to the cupboard to get myself four slices of brown bread and realised I had given it to my RABBITS! Flipping heck!
It's truly wet and windy here, not so cold, garden so far is OK, it gives true meaning to hunkering down.
ReplyDeleteHunkering down sums it up perfectly Marlene. Too wet and cold for gardening.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that rabbits ate bread. I assumed they only ate vegetables and my crocus flowers!
ReplyDeleteThey will eat cake if you give it to them JayCee.
DeleteI think I can rightly accuse you of being what Americans call a "dumbass" - a subject that I shall be blogging about later today for I am also a "dumbass".
ReplyDeleteOr feckin eejit even YP.
ReplyDeleteFeckin eejit? Maybe The Yanks will adopt that tern and ditch "dumbass". After all, Trumper and Muskrat are prime examples of feckin eejits.
ReplyDeleteThat's true animal husbandry, giving the rabbits the food you could have eaten.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of people in the EU will be call them that when they impose taxes on EU goods go into America YP. If the big American companies like Google go back to America for cheaper corporation taxes. Where I live we could do with cheap taxis. I think the Greens will be one of my choices when I vote on Friday. They want to spend millions on public transport.
ReplyDelete😊. If it's good enough for us it's good enough for our rabbits Jabblog.
ReplyDeleteI landed yesterday (Sat) onto a very windy runway. 😊
ReplyDeleteSo I can vouch for stom Bert's power on the plane.
Just discovered your blog via taskerdunham. :)
Hi Liam. Yes it can be quite scary landing in a storm. Thanks!
