Feeding Rabbits During Storm Bert.

 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!
