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... -

Drake jail II : covering the fence with weed-suppressing fabric which is non transparent. 6 guys inside. All clear for now. -
The Quack Shack
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'... -
The Quack Shack
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). -

What a peaceful day... (Drake jail is operational) -
What did you do in the garden today?
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... -

What did you do in the garden today?
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 :) -

I'm 57 and while I can definitely say the capacity for physical work noticeably drops by age, yes, feeding the ducks from a porch swing should work :) The village pub will probably be gone, replaced by whatever the in thing will be at that time... With the trends in AI I would say people are... -

Well, it's all relative. Neighbor on one side had cows/pigs until recently so that one is fine. Neighbor on the other side is trying to have a football lawn in the backyard, a landscaped front yard, and is currently the mayor of the nearby town. However, the next neighbor over, on the other... -

Yes. Small village with houses close to each other (land parcels are long but narrow) two miles out of a small town (15 K people). -
