Full house

Today was a full 10 eggs so it really must be Spring

This was also confirmed by the fact that I got home late and we sat, in the dark, drinking tea, with a herd of ducks who wouldn't go to bed, foraging around us. I really did think that life is great and a good way to escape from the rat race (no sign of them either since the rat catcher has been putting boxes down).

Unfortunately, Emily is her own duck, as opposed to the others who share a brain cell, and also camouflaged when it gets dark. We eventually got all the other ducks to bed only to turn round and find her standing on the path looking at us.
