I would like to introduce you to "Marcus the Duck", a very friendly chap that sits in the corner of the lounge and keeps the TV company. He came into my life at Christmas from my youngest Son, but I'm sure it was pay back for the very large wooden pig I gave him and his wife a few Christmas's ago,
Marcus likes to go for a paddle now and then in his orange wellies, a harmless activity as long as the birds not mind sharing their bath. Unfortunately, when I checked the outside temperature it was -5 degrees centigrade and the bath was solid with ice. Perhaps Marcus (His name is on a tag) should have put on his ice-skates rather than the wellies.
I had some strange looks this morning as I stood in my front garden, in my tatty clothes, taking photographs of a duck in the birdbath. Fortunately, all my near neighbours know me so well but not the passing traffic. Look even the lens was frosting over (wink).
View Marcus with the dark surround and thank you for all your comments and FAV's on my stalker yesterday.
