      That looks like a pet rabbit, I wonder if it is possible to catch it and have a vet scan it for a microchip.

      You’ll prolly need a towel and a heap of patience. Try to throw the towel over the bunny and that should keep it calm, and if you pick it up it is best to tuck it into your elbow and armpit while keep it’s back legs supported, and it’s front legs in your other hand. This should stop it from kicking and possibly breaking its back.

      Leafy greens should be a good coaxing method, and carrots. Or you can just take the time to befriend it and it may be more amenable to being touched.

      So pretty! Do you maybe have any local magicians struggling with their signature trick because their ‘assistant’ has escaped?

    Shout out to my main man Archimedes who just helped me pull a bunch of deep steel stakes outta the ground. Getting a new veg patch so old one has to go.

    Bashed the shit out of the first one with a hammer and wiggled it like a caveman, came out eventually and whilst cathartic wasn’t ideal was a bit of (rave alert) a Dustup. So Archi came to the rescue.

    Basically screwing the stake into a long bit of wood using the ground as a fulcrum and lift.

    I think every cop in Melton and surrounds including the serious suit wearing types are at Woodgrove shopping centre in Melton and they have a whole entrance taped off. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear something on the news if it isn’t already.

    One of my neighbours is having a hard time.

    They’re been playing ‘Nothing Compares to you’ the Sinead version, for like 40 minutes now.

    It’s such a beautiful sunny warm day, seems a shame to waste at home. And I think I need some sun and to get out.

    I have a co-worker who basically used me to trauma dump about her past abusive relationship. Now she’s being very cryptic with another co-worker, saying things like, “I’ve been publicly humiliated” or when she went to meet with her ex after they had been no longer together for a year, “I’m in trouble”. She met with him to see if she was over him but she was still in contact with him the whole time (because she believed he was her soulmate).

    I honestly feel like she’s just looking for a reaction now and she’s got some growing up to do. Yes, she’s had a shitty experience and I think I’ve acknowledged that to her. But ultimately, this is her life and she can decide what she wants to do. The whole thing is ridiculous and I’m sick of hearing about it.

      Trauma dumping unbeknownst to the other can actually have an effect on you even if it didn’t happen to you.

      More so if it’s constant. She’s looking for validation or something. She’s got to change her actions or it’ll keep just repeating.

      She’s also fallen into the soulmate trap as well and sometimes for her it’s easier believing in the fairytale than to wake up to reality.

      It’s not fun being someone else’s emotional garbage can. They dump stuff on you so they can be rid of it themselves.

      That having been said, I reckon the ‘soulmate’ meme is fairly damaging to both participants, although it does allow someone to project all the virtues in the bible onto a partner who probably can’t sustain that level of expectation, particularly if young. But that is just my opinion. Gordon Lightfoot’s song If You Could Read My Mind being a fairly harsh illustration of how it feels to be the recipient of unrealistic expectations.

    Morning all! Bunny Peeler has been discovered in a kind of nest against the fence, made from a hollow between the fence and some grassy orchid-like flowering plant. It’s hard to get to (hidden behind a rose and a geranium) and looks like they’ve been living in there for a while, munching on violet leaves and such (the hollow is well worn).
