I came to a decision last night – I’ m setting myself no new targets until I’ve completed the current challanges because with the two challenges plus reading, writing and eBay I have enough to do in the evenings.
The world won’t stop if I slack off for a few days.
I’m taking Number Two Son to work now and may not get back in time to post before midnight so it’s a short post today.
Slacking is clearly contagious.
Today’s picture is a Mallard/Pintail cross from the pond at Arnot Hill Park. He’s been featured before. I didn’t go there but everyone likes a duck.
Good duck portrait. Now I’ll know what they are if I spot one
You bet! Sounds like you have enough challenges for one person.

Slacking is one thing. Ducking responsibilities another. One wonders what a duck looks like while slacking?? Nice picture, btw
A slacking duck might forget to float – that would never do.
Hmm, agreed that sinking for ducks would present some difficulty – but I wonder just how much remembering goes into duck floating. Next time I meet a duck I might ask. Or might that make me a quack??
Maybe they just do it automatically, like breathing. Though when I was younger I did worry about remembering to breathe…
NEW year of course!

Is this what is called a Mew Year Resolution?
That is a fine drake, Quercus!
He’s been there a few years now – it seems it’s quite a common crossbreed.
You are right about everyone liking a duck. We had an excellent one roasted for our Christmas dinner.
They are so versatile – serving to amuse a child, fill a pond and then provide lunch. Turkeys, though amusing and toothsome, do tend to get soggy and sink if introduced to a pond.
