Thanks @tek-monkey and @littleme - good news, she's back at home (she lives with my parents these days as my new flat is too small) with some antibiotics.

She's not out of the woods yet, but she's very lively, is eating well, and nearly drowned all the vet nurses when they tried to give her a bath to clean the wounds earlier, so all in all I'd say she's feeling pretty much normal :)

Guess we'll have to see what tomorrow brings
Glad to see she is back home and picked up a bit. Hope you find she's much better tomorrow.

Been given an opportunity to go on a reverse brain washing course by sleazy PR man from the Cotswolds

Heard about a man with an Alice band who is getting paid £1.2million a month to live near Manchester ( sounds about right )

I am looking forward to women only cash tills - truncheons at the ready , Wedgwood pottery sale on its way

Saw a person wearing combat trousers and jumper going into the HSBC bank in Stafford, circa 1:30pm to-day. I would have been on to you had I been able to keep up with your fast pace.

Just went and had a lovely bag of chips at the town park with the kids before they return to school tomorrow. Picked up some bargain parasols at £2 each from Wilko's on the way thanks to tek-monkey.

Enjoying a drop of red.

Didn't know the Park sold chips. Or did you nick them off some poor unsuspecting duck, me duck?

Thanks folks :)

Good news is that bunny is still with us - she's very much more subdued than normal, but she's been snatching treats off me which is a good sign :)

Still a way to go though, 9 more days of antibiotics left (she still has the strength to make that task a heck of a challenge...)

And she can still run a chip shop?

You had to make me look didn't you...

Why is the HYPERSPHERE shaped like a doughnut?
Today, cosmologists say that the universe of relativity and quantum physics can best be understood when seen as a torus, or doughnut shape. A universe containing black holes, white holes and "wormholes" conforms best to this model. And a torus has the same formula (2pi2r3) as the HYPERSPHERE.

As a model of the universe, the HYPERSPHERE shows how things emerge in time and are enfolded back into fabric of the universe. You can experience this by rotating your HYPERSPHERE through its center.

The HYPERSPHERE also shows how all things in the universe are interconnected, even when they appear to be separate from one another. If you isolate point a from point b in this diagram with cut c, the two points can still be connected--without crossing the cut--by going through the centre:

Mmmm doughnuts...
Mwahahaha ! So I had to go & email him didn't I?! Here's his responce ...

Hi *littleme*
I believe this could be some sort of
a social experiment, although I
seem to be one of the guinea pigs
in it rather than the experimenters.
I did genuinely find an object with
bizarre properties, but I now
suspect it was a set-up because too
many weird things have been
happening to me recently for all
this to be a coincidence. It was a
friend of mine who suggested I go
for a walk with him, along a specific
route (which is where we came
across the object), and it was he
who then suggested the specific
wording of the ad (including the
word "buckarastano", etc.) that I
should put in the paper. This leads
me to believe that I have been
manipulated into playing the part
of a pawn in some larger plot or
game (I reckon the same thing
happened to whoever placed the
other ad), although what it is, I
don't really know.
Some people have suggested this is
an ARG, which seems plausible, but
there doesn't seem to be any
product involved. The Stephen
Moles book containing the word
"buckarastano" has been
mentioned, but that's old, and the
idea of building an object that
seemingly defies the laws of physics
just to promote an old (and free)
book seems unrealistic. However, I
do think he has some connection as
he is the director of the Dark
Meaning Research Institute (which
studies "the Buckarastano", and the
man who came to collect the object
said he was from a "research
institute", although he wasn't the
man in the video on the Dark
Meaning Research Institute
website.
I actually think there is some
attempt underway to get some top
secret information out, but without
it attracting too much attention.
The reason I think this is because I
have been shown a recent article
about research into "the
B*ckarastano" being suppressed by
"dark forces":
http://www.articlesbase.com/
culture-articles/further-evidence-of-
dark-powers-hiding-important-
academic-research-7079530.html
It seems to be related to much
older research, which is mentioned
here:
http://www.grownups.co.nz/read/
interests/entertainment/has-the-
mona-lisa-got-smaller
The earliest version of the "Has the
Mona Lisa Got Smaller?" article I
can find dates back to 2008, which
predates the Moles "buckarastano"
book and video by five years, and
the research relates to stuff from
even earlier, so this is perhaps a
new attempt to continue that older
research which was suppressed. My
friend said he has made contact
with what he describes as an
"underground academic group", and
since then his behaviour has
become very erratic, so I will be
looking further into that in the
hope that this will begin to make
more sense.
That's all I know, I'm afraid.
Regards,
Mike

So strange, I'm tempted to email him back & tell him were all just donuts
