The revolution will not be televised!
... But we can watch it live anyway...
There is a group of ducks standing at the only point where the drake jail meets the general enclosure without there being a corridor inbetween. They are not carrying placards SAVE OUR DRAKES but they ARE pecking at...
One kinda flew over but got his flipper stuck on the top; flopped downwards as you can imagine; started flapping furiously and managed to get himself back into a horizontal position; after some more flapping actually managed to be free. After that the next fence, the one circling the ladies'...
Well, it won't work. They are desperate and trying to get over the fence in every which direction including the ones not toward their ladies (but rather into the wildish area behind the duck houses where they become hard to catch and likelihood of injuries increases).
AGAIN went out to pick "just these three nicely ripe tomatoes" while the ducks' water barrels are filling and came back with a bucket of them.
Also suddenly lots of plums this year. If life gives you plums halve them, make a bed of curd cheese, put walnuts on top, drizzle with elderflower syrup...
The lone parasol mushroom looking a bit lost... After 2 months of drought we got several waves of rain and it popped up all happy "yay autumn is here" but no other mushroom joined the party :)
