Sometimes you can look a fool even with out wearing a onesie with hood and ears. There I was, tip toeing around the garden trying not to be seen or make a sound when one of our Canadian renters threw open the upstairs window of the gite and shouted down for a chat. I could hardly go ssh! I do not want the donkeys to know I am here; just too rude that would have been.
The lady must have wondered why I was tiptoeing around; yes, positively sneaking about. I bet you are all wondering the same thing.
I am running short of hay! ssh! for heavens sake do not let the donkey chums hear that.
I have three small bales left which have to last till the week end. Now if they could all be more restrained and just have one feed in the morning we could manage it... but if they hear me in the grounds on an afternoon they then go into Oliver Twist begging mode; we want more! This is accompanied by four donkeys hee hawing, and what a din when the four start begging.
We have arranged to get more hay at the week end, but try telling the donkeys they will have to wait.
I just hope we do not have reprisal break-outs.
"Tiptoe Through the Tulips" is a popular song originally published in 1929. The song was written by Al Dubin (lyrics) and Joe Burke (music). ... and no I was not around then.
