Duck!

There is a chirping sound coming from the other end of the office. No, it’s not a mobile phone (despite the fact someone has just taken delivery of a new one, prompting some gadget envy on my part – must check when mine is due up for renewal) it’s two motherless ducklings found wandering around near Central Station.

I’ve now realised that I don’t have my camera attachment for my mobile, so I can’t take pictures of them to show the missus (she likes her little fuzzy ducks) so I’ll be better off if I don’t tell her!

After seven years* of marriage you get to know these things.

*Yes I convoluted this entire post just to answer that question – although it IS true, there are duckings in the office. Poor little mites. Wish they’d shut up…
