Duck Family

We had a slow morning. I eventually got myself out for a quick walk down the road and back again. Once I had hung my washing out, I headed out for a run. I left the house in sunshine, but seemed to be running towards black clouds. Then the rain started, and I got absolutely soaked. I stopped and sheltered under a tree at one point as it was torrential. I then just had to keep going. It was just drizzling by the time I got back home, five miles later.

TT made lunch, while I sorted myself out. Late afternoon I ventured out for a wee walk. I saw a duck family sitting on the weir, the ducklings were quite big. The next thing I saw was them being chased by an otter. It all happened so quickly, there are no pictures! I watched for a while to see if the otter reappeared, but I didn’t see it. The ducks were quite agitated so I think it was still there.

I looked over to the other weir, and saw this duck family, sitting quite happily. I hope the otter didn’t find them, as these ducklings would have provided it with tea!

I was on tea tonight, so made a prawn curry, and a potato and pepper curry. They both went down well.

We had a quiet evening.
