The last time I made a cheese and pickle sandwich, no bunny, but suddenly ......
Despite the disruption of Covid-19, our traditional Easter Egg hunt went ahead as normal. As it takes place indoors and only involves Paul and I (and a hopeful Pedro), it really was no different to usual.
Golden Lindt bunnies are hidden in places where suddenly, as you go about your daily tasks, you will find one smiling at you. In the pantry next to the coffee. Next to the TV remote. In the fridge (actually, in Australia that is where chocolate is normally kept so no big surprise there).
It’s not so much where they are but when/how you find them; you may have made a coffee a few hours ago and no bunny to be seen but suddenly, there it is. It is quite spooky in a friendly bunny sort of way.
I’m terrified that my husband Paul will die (well, obviously, but for more than the usual reasons) and that the bunnies will continue to appear each year, proving that it is, as he has protested, not him manipulating the little golden statues with bells and faces
Of course, the bunnies must be found by me before they are found by something else golden – our dog Pedro. As we all know chocolate can be very harmful to dogs so the bunnies are under strict instructions to be well above golden retriever retrieving level; with a nose like Pedro’s it is no problems knowing where they are, just very frustrating that he can’t reach them
And talking of noses, it seems that Pedro could be called upon for National Service soon
Scientists in London say that dogs could revolutionize the hunt for Covid-19 by ‘sniffing out subtle odours produced by the virus when within the human body’ as they already do for malaria, some cancers and Parkinson’s disease.
Dogs certainly are a man’s best friend
