It's sunny!!!!!! Hurrah!!!! We haven't seen sun for decades. Or at least it feels like decades. Non stop rain the like of which hasn't been seen here in June and July since records began. It's been so depressing but today... Bright Sunshine!!!!!!!!
It's the day for cleaning out rabbit pens too so I'm extra delighted to see it.
We had one dirtystopout naughty bunny last night. Refused to go back into her pen and refused to be caught so she could be put in her pen. I wasn't too worried. Yes, there's a famous family of foxes living down the road. Watched by the entire city, they go from strength to strength and are a startling example of foxes adapting to city life. Yes, those foxes are aware of our bunnies. However... it's one seriously well fed group of foxes. Living on the doorstep of approximately 20 fast food outlets and restaurants and spoilt rotten by the local people, they really don't need to forage for food. Secondly, our back yard is bunnyheaven. Lots of places to hide and a catflap into the house in case of severe emergency.
Got up this morning and the bunny in question was happily grooming herself in the sun. The two in the pen were obviously missing her and the two who live in the house rushed out first chance to greet her but no harm done in the night. She might think twice about missing dinner though.
I started this blog to talk about crafts and so far all I've talked about is rabbits. I guess when you have five, they become a big topic of conversation.
Craftwise, I'm still looking in envy at other peoples blogs. It's back to work tomorrow too so I'm not going to get anything done today. Other than rabbits of course.

Of course the joy of sunny days and rabbits is...lots of photo opportunities. Managed to grab these as daughter no 3. checked her emails (and therefore kicked me off the computer). Bunnies snoozing in the shade. No one can relax like a rabbit can.

First things first.

I'm inspired! I've been off work for four days and I've overloaded on wonderful craft blogs. Who are all these incredible women who combine family and crafts and often business too? It's all I can do to get out of bed and go to work. My crafts are sat in a corner lonely and unused. My camera is gathering dust. My house wonders why I visit every night yet do nothing to it.
So this is for me, and working on the theory that I'm not going to let any of my family or friends know about it, this is my personal space to say the things that I want to say.
I intend to upload some of my photo's and craft stuff and the hundred and one other things that I start and never finish. Of course I will have to learn how to navigate around the whole blog process first, so patience may be the watchword for the time being. Right now this minute, I'm going to have to find out have to upload photo's.
Success! Here's a photo of one of bunnies.
Perhaps I should have shown something a bit more 'arty' first but hey, it's hard to get a half decent photo of a black rabbit.

Is that more like it?

More photo's to follow (plus more rabbits for those who like rabbits)
