Pat ( Weaver of Grass) left a comment on yesterday's blog which went a little like this
It make hilarious reading. I hope she doesn't mind me re printing it
"How are you ...thought I'd message you and share what happened to me yesterday ......Ha ha !
Picture the scene .....half asleep ( at just after 7am ) dressed for action........rubber gloves ...plastic apron on.... I start my clean out .....2 hamsters and one guinea pig down ......its Spikes turn ...he's a rabbit ....a rather gorgeous one ( lion head cross)and one of my favourites ...at least he was ! Now Spike has been getting rather frisky of late with my plastic shovel. ......he bites down on it and shakes it ...hormones I suspect and boredom !
Only yesterday he bit down hard on the fleshy part of my thumb.......I howled in pain and rather ashamedly hit him over the head with my plastic shovel !! Only then did he let go !!
My glove filled with blood ..... I remembered thinking at least it means I won't have to mop the floor.......no spillages there ! Ha ha ......fuck it hurts !
I hot footed it to the office where Ben our supervisor was .......and laughingly demanded he gave me some first aid !
His first reaction was to get a plaster out of the first aid box .....his next reaction was oh shit ! Blood everywhere !
By this time I had started to get very hot and felt sick.............next thing I remembered was thinking how did I get on the floor and how nice and cold it was !! And what the fuck was Ben doing ....oh yeah he's putting me in a recovery position .......hmm nice ......just stay here a while ......what's he saying ...oh shit he's calling for an ambulance ...oh god no !
I don't need one of those ! Really weird hearing everything but not being able to move .....why's he shouting and throwing the phone .....its not working .....enter our cleaner who doesn't speak much English and it's his first day on the job ! Bens ordering him to get the phone out of the groomers and I can hear Ben asking for an ambulance !!
By this time I'm doing my best to move and yes !! Result ! He's telling the operator I'm coming round ......I'm trying to sit up and tell him I don't want or need a fucking ambulance when the cleaner comes back into the office to inform me a hamster have escaped .....thanks .....but can't you see I'm rather busy at the moment !
Anyhow a nurse called me back ...I had to phone ned to take me to hospital to get checked over and get some antibiotics ! Returned to work ...finished the clean out
Laughing my head off - knowing you both, I can live the stories! Keep em coming, highlight of the day :-) Nx
ReplyDeleteI haven't forgotton we need to skype!
Deletethat was indeed funny..........
ReplyDeleteWonderful - it reads like a Wallace and Grommit precise.
ReplyDeleteIt's in the genes
DeleteFerrets are in the jeans.
DeleteOh, you have Ardmanised your photo now, making my original comment seem twatish.
DeleteHaha
DeleteRevenge will be mine...
DeleteI think she needs to do a few guest posts. Hope she is much better.
ReplyDeleteShe writes well doesn't she?
DeleteBrilliant! But apart from you and your sister how many others in your family, and where do they live so I can stay well clear!!
ReplyDeleteMy elder sister is just as funny....as was my brother
Deletefantastic!
ReplyDeletethe ability to tell a great story is way under rated
I like the cleaner coming in best and saying a hamster has escaped.
ReplyDeleteGood comic timing
DeleteI like that she finished the cleaning; shows dedicattion to the job.
DeleteIt's in the genes!! lol
ReplyDeleteLol it must be
DeleteBut what I want to know is, what happened to the escaped hamster?
ReplyDeleteIt would appear it DOES run in the family..at least Cecil didn't bite you.
ReplyDeleteGreat, now I'm worried about her brother getting bit by a badger and waking up prostrate in the field with Bingley making advances.
ReplyDeleteis spike a killer rabbit with big nasty teeth?
ReplyDeleteIf its a full moon it was a Wererabbit?

Thanks sol for the idea x
DeleteA bit like a Monty Python skit, and it is your life.
ReplyDeleteOr the way me and Janet see it!
DeleteSo funny, you both have a way with words
ReplyDeleteWe inherited the ability from my mother
DeleteThat was hilarious! Indeed you must have inherited your comic ability from your mother... I have just realised you both are Janet and John!
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland, NZ
As in the books!
DeleteI loved Janet and John books when I was learning to read... I read very quickly as a child... often my teachers didn't believe I read what I said I did... much to my frustration. I took home chapter books and devoured them... my mother had to go to the school to vouch for me.

Wabbits can have nasty teeth. Smart little devils too; they do know the difference between a plastic shovel and and hand that wields it. He may not want told on in future; Janet need watch her back. We need more stories.
ReplyDeleteWell told, Janet! Yes, John, it seems to be genetic!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you're related.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Good humor gets you through rabbit attacks and many more disasters.
ReplyDeleteWho said it was a quiet life in the country?! I love your adventures!
ReplyDeleteDid you end up telling Janet you posted that?
ReplyDeleteYes......I may well have to pull it if she wants privacy
DeleteI was going to ask if there was a full moon the night before because the attack of the Wererabbit !
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
That is funny ! I would expect nothing less from your twin sister !
ReplyDeleteI'd have hit the rabbit with the plastic shovel too ! great story xx
ReplyDeleteHas Janet got a blog? She is the female version of you John!
ReplyDeleteShe wrote a serious blog a year or two back
DeleteSee

Who knows what antics Cecil might get up to once he settles in. Thanks for the mention above. I agree it does seem to be that adventures run in your family. Is Chris well aware of this before the big day??
ReplyDeleteAny have a progress reports on the beast with two peckers?
DeleteJanet has got to do the occasional guest spot on your blog!
ReplyDeleteHope she is feeling less sore by the way. xx
She has my sympathy...I look after my neighbour's 6 rabbits when she goes on holiday...they are not just the cute furry creatures people may believe, but are cunning and fully prepared to bite now and again if it helps them to escape! If I was kept in a hutch, probably I would too!
ReplyDeleteBlimey, you lot don't do anything by halves, do you??lol Happy Sunday to you. x
ReplyDeleteNow that was an exciting work day! Any final medical verdict as to why the woozies?
ReplyDeleteHaha! I have warned my four rabbits what will happen if they try the same thing...
ReplyDeleteHaha! I have warned my four rabbits what will happen if they try the same thing...
ReplyDelete"We can't risk another frontal assault, that rabbit's dynamite!"
ReplyDeleteI learnt to read with Janet and John .... but their stories were much tamer and less hysterical ... if I remember correctly.
ReplyDeleteI prefer yours and your sisters, you should write a book.
She's wasted confining her anecdotes to emails. You must persuade her to blog.
