Wednesday and Water Issues

Wednesday died yesterday morning. She had been going downhill for a couple of weeks with her heart giving her problems and then her kidneys began to fail. Yesterday morning she appeared to have rallied but when I went out later she had passed away peacefully which was all you could hope for with an elderly rabbit. I have had some great times with her although she was the worst mother I ever knew.

My landlord has been here since Saturday installing a rain water tank. Smedley isn't sure where my water is coming from but part of the agreement for Cathy and Brent buying this place from them last year was that they had to have their own water supply by October 2007. Brent cleared out the tack shed of Cathy's stuff and installed a pump. Yesterday the tank arrived- it is a 15,000 gallon one, only a metre and a half tall but very wide. He and the driver rolled it across the fields to where it was going to reside (the back of the hedge) although it made a break for freedom at one point and crashed into a fence. Everything is a bit chaotic with pipes being dug underground etc. plus it began to rain heavily yesterday afternoon which isn't helping matters. You are so conscious of water when you live in the country and after being without it once for four days at my last rental I am particularly paranoid (well more paranoid than usual let's say!)
