Our water eventually trickled back but with no pressure behind it. This morning I could at least get the washing up all done and two loads of washing finished, and then bham no water again, so another load was stuck in the washing machine. Thankfully it seems to be back to normal again now! Still busy packing and sorting!! But now I am taking a break before starting tonight's meal and thought I would drop in and see you all are. I see Shirley is in fine form! :-) |

In short she can deliver one day and maybe another littler four days down the line. Rabbits have the highes death rate of all of God's animals. They are now worth $20 an piece as babies. Higher of perbreed mates. Most babies we had at one time between two mother rabbits was 17 bunnies, but only about 10 of them lived past infancy. they are smaller then your thumb when born stark naked...it's thier most vernerable time. I have all kinds of black and white pictures from rabbits my great aunts useto have around here from my mother's pictures. Feed store out here always asked me how I go tthem to be so big....I told them it was because as babies I sprinkled instant peach oatmeal around their nest and the powdered milk in them licking it was an extra food source other then thier tireless mother rabbit. Mohter rabbit got the finest carrot greens and raspberry leaves after delivery. I think her licking up some of the instant oatmeal use to help her also. Well, it's my turn to do the washing today. I have plenty of it...so I better get going. |

Now the Government say you must go to hospital to feed your elderly relative and take them to the toilet. If you live miles away then no doubt they will be left to starve. This was a civilised country in the past, but no more. The poor, the disabled, the sick will be hounded to death. England has had its day. Sod it, we are in an evil cess pit. But there could be tax cuts coming for the rich. |

One thing I learned from all the different animals...they have an "Life" like humans do... only in thier little animal worlds...they have fears, uncertainites, they cry, they love, they are loyal, they protect their own..they recognize the good and bad in humans....they have most the feelings we do....but in thier animal world. We should respect them more then we do. When the plants die....when the animals die.....we die next...and the planet as we know is "lifeless". |
