I was having lunch with friends today since my daughter was working. The plan was for me to be home by 4pm to cook turkey and roast vegies for a feast when my daughter got home. A massive storm hit Melbourne and I was so worries about my duckies- Especially Stevie- Ray my blind duck. With huge hail falling it did cover the ground almost looking like snow- I guess the closest we get here to having a white Christmas. Stevie- and the other ducks were fine. Tonight after their dinner they were treated to a 10 pound watermelon and some crepes with berries. It was so funny watching them in a feeding frenzy making sure they all got their fair share of the Christmas offerings. Of course now I have some ducks with some very pink feathers around their faces and neck.
