'What is it?????' shrieks Muffy in terror, as through the living room window she spies a strange, spotted creature swimming in the pool.
She runs and hides in the storeroom, then creeps out, belly to the ground, to investigate further.
'Do my eyes deceive me?' you can almost read in her expression. She worried all night and this morning refused to go outside till I'd removed the duck and wrapped it in a towel. Even then, it was hours before she tiptoed warily out to do her wee-wee.
Frank and Winifred, yesterday's garden pictures remind me of the grounds of a castle I visited in Scotland. Simply breathtaking, but I wish we had the castle, too. Here the ground slopes steeply down into a little valley with a trickle of water at the bottom, and it is refreshingly cool with mountain-like air. It will be a lovely place to go on a hot day in summer. There wasn't another soul when I arrived, which added to the pleasure. I've decided to become a volunteer, with an on-duty day only once a month.

If only it had been just a little bit smaller...she'd have had it!
