My workplace is in quite an isolated spot. Well, isolated for Sheffield, anyway. There are no houses around, the Parkway (ring road) runs up one side of it and the railway line goes past the opposite. There's a big industrial incinerator across the way, and a tatty old warehouse which never seems to do any business except of the sort which might be conducted at dead of night. Piles of rotting car tyres, single, forlorn shoes and ragged tarpaulins are strewn across its land.

So not really the sort of place one would expect to encounter a great big colony of FLUFFY BUNNIES!!

Yes, our grounds are hopping (sorry) with bunbuns, most of them being extremely shy and run away at the first sight or sound of humans. However they obviously come out at night and have wild bunny orgies in the glow of the 24 hour security lamps, because the grass around the smoking area is carpeted with droppings. Possibly they have a shagging marathon and then light up a discarded dog-end... "Did the earth move for you, Flopsie?"

Yesterday it was fine and bright in Sheffield, about 17 degrees according to the clock on my dashboard at lunchtime. I have lunch in my car so I can listen to some tunes and chill out a bit instead of being rocked by fucking MTV which is on constant play in our breakout areas... So anyway I'm sitting there smoking a fag and reading my book when I catch a movement in the corner of my eye. I turned to look and there was a great big bunny sitting on the grass next to my car, leisurely sniffing pellets and taking a few mouthfuls of grass, bobbing his head up now and again to sniff the wind and make sure there was nothing scary around. He was pretty enormous, about the size of a full grown cat, which is large considering wild rabbits are usually much smaller than domesticated ones. I sat there watching him for about 5 minutes, and then a car pulled into the carpark and he was off in a flash of white tail. It made me feel very spring-like!

Unfortunately it has been pissing down today but I'm hoping it will be fine tomorrow and will take my camera to work if it is in the hope of getting some shots.
