Natural Remedies

24 November 2013

Inspired by hearing the news that Chocolate Bunny is happily receiving medication hidden in sultanas, Will-O’-the-Wisp has let it be known he has diagnosed himself with a severe beta-carotene deficiency. He insists the only way this can be remedied (and his life be saved) is by the administration of 3,261 carrots twice daily.

All this talk about consuming chocolate rabbits is making Chocolate Bunny nervous.

A sultana a day keeps the doctor away

3 November 2013

On his return from the Specialist Bunny Doctor, Chocolate Bunny has breathlessly (literally) regaled the Clan at Joyfallee with tales of his adventure and his diagnosis of an asthma-like syndrome. Being the perennial optimist, he’s pretty excited that the medication involves hiding tablets in sultanas and has helpfully offered to take double and triple doses if necessary, or even if unnecessary. The Joyfalleeans are, however, sceptical about Choccy’s claim that he has been advised by his doctor to avoid all sources of stress and should, therefore, be allowed to make as many international phone calls as his little bunny heart desires. 

Irrigation - tick

8 October 2013

Paddock sprinklers fixed and working – and it only took 5 hours of wrangling pipes and ridiculous joiny things that are clearly not designed to be able to be put in or disconnected by any mere mortal ( or at least the mere mortal kind who are totally un-handy and clueless about anything vaguely mechanical). That’s only 2 ½ hours per sprinkler… and I would still be there had it not been for my very kind farmer neighbour who took pity on me and insisted on fixing / replacing sprinkler heads, connections and stands – thanks Bill!!!

BFFs

Chocolate Bunny remained blissfully unaware that his repeated overtures of friendship with Mouldy Meg were consistently rejected...if asked he would probably have concluded that they were BFFs ....Mouldy Meg had a different take on their relationship. 

Their conversations usually went along the following lines: 

Choccy: (approaching Mouldy's tail or nearest appendage) "Hello nice cat". 

Mouldy: (moving out of range as rapidly as possible) "I hate rabbits" . 

Choccy (following on behind) "Great! Now what are we going to do together today?".

Election Looming

17 August 2013

Chocolate Bunny is resting up after a long day on the hustings. Having discovered, to his chagrin, that he is not old enough to be included on the electoral roll, he has taken to the campaign trail, trying to convince the residents of Joyfallee to vote for Mr Rabbit. To a person/chicken/ horse/ etc the residents are not swayed by his rhetoric – many of them think the Greens sound like a worthwhile and delicious option. 

It's a hard life

11 August 2013

Having spent a tiring day chatting on the iphone to his furry friends in far-flung lands, Chocolate Bunny wonders idly when the electric blanket will be turned on…and what time the gin and tonic will be delivered.
