Trouble in Paradise

Friday, January 11th, 2013

Clive, a smart drake arrived today and Evelyn was amused! Walter seems to have won the day and Clive has now left. Made a lemon meringue pie today and had my nails done. Going to try to start uploading some photos – here goes! – had to get help but now think I can do it!

The ducks are back!

Am I bothered?

Yes! Very exciting! Jane and Simon have a roof garden just below their balcony with a pond and last year Mr and Mrs Duck had baby ducks, who all delighted the residents in this apartment block. Evelyn, I’d like to call Mrs duck, is playing hard to get at the moment but Walter, he’s not bothered – been diving and ducking and making a general splash! I expect she is waiting for him to settle down a bit and mature but he could be playing it cool, saying,”just because it happened last year it is not certain it will happen this year”. But, the romantic in me thinks that as they have come together to the pond it’s looking good. I will keep you posted but I don’t think anything will happen before I have to go home.
Been to get more money – going fast here! Bus fares gone up and postage stamps are $1.80 for international stamps – about 1 pound 20p. Ok be back soon!
