    That sounds like myxomatosis WW.  Not good at all and not nice for the bunnies either.

    Very sad. I’m relieved it’s not transferred to other animals as dog spends time in the same garden. It’s just the bunnies we have to keep our fingers crossed for and hope they pull through. The babies seem ok at the moment.

    We back on to fields and the warren is in our garden, so luckily they lead a very sheltered life here (apart from we have to keep an eye on the neighbour who values plants more than wildlife). So when they are ill it’s very sad, as they aren’t likely to get squished apart from if they venture onto the road, or aren’t quick enough when the hawks or big seagulls are hungry. ☹️

    Yes, I'm a creature of habit and like to hear from you regularly! 😂
    Have got the same this weekend - D and SM staying!😱 Basically need to burn the house down and start again. 
    Also spent all of my money and had to move £100 out of savings for the last week til payday - 😖 I'm a mess essentially! 
    Burning the house down is an excellent idea…that would save me from cleaning the bathroom 😅
    Did you spend on nice things? 
    Yes, social things mainly so really nice. It's never ending though. I think I'll have a 'good' month but I don't 😬

    Good morning and happy Tuesday 🍦🍦🌞🌞
    it feels hot already…I’m glad I’m not in a peak temperature place! I expect it would feel better if I wasn’t looking like a beached whale right now. I’ve definitely got to that middle aged exploding waistband stage. I’m not sure how to fix it, but I’ll keep trying. Although next week will be an eating out everywhere week 😳 photographs will need to be panoramic just to fit me all in! I could do with upsizing clothes, but I’m determined not to…I have plenty I can’t squeeze into and it will be better for me, the environment and my bank balance if I aim to get into them again. I really need to find my mojo while I’m cleaning 😬
    It’s just work today, with a huge list of things I need to get done.
    our wild rabbits seem to be ill and we’re worried we’ll lose them all. It happened about 8 years ago and took a long time for them to build the warren back up. Now we have loads of them again and lots of babies, but a lot seem to have swollen eyes and runny faces 😢 We are hoping it’s not myxomatosis as that’s pretty fatal to most ☹️ There’s no cure and nothing we can do, but I’m putting plenty of carrots and apple out to help build them up. 
    I hope you all have a fabulous Tuesday filled with all good things ☕️🍦🌞
    Hope the bunnies are OK, they are so sweet, hopping about 🥰

    Good morning and happy Wednesday 🌞🍦 It feels hot and sticky out there already…and Steven seagull has already knocked for second breakfast and then tried knocking for third breakfast (which I ignored, so he seems to have flown off in a huff).
    I have spent a happy half an hour declining all the meetings for when I am on leave…so satisfying 😁, but now I have to go back to trying to get on top of it all 😖
    MrWW has started his leave already, so will be skipping around enjoying himself, playing in his garage and then wondering where his dinner is. 
    @elbree as long as it was enjoyable things it’s all good! I will have to buckle down in august, it’s always hard after enjoying some spending.
    I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday filled with all the good things you deserve 🍦☕️🌞📚

    I really enjoy declining work meetings when I’m going on leave. Sorry I’ll be on leave - so not sorry 🤣🤣
