Roger and I decided long ago that we would name our house "Two Little Ducks". The reason being is that our house number is 22 and whilst (another English word) walking along the seafront a couple years ago, we heard a bingo call-out - not once - but twice - saying "number 22, two little ducks", therefore taking it as a sign. While walking around the broad at work yesterday, I pointed out two ducks, one male and one female. How strange is that? I asked. Upon returning home last night and walking to the door I stopped dead in my tracks.........there, next to our tiny pond, was two little (rather big) ducks - one male and one female!! They had decided to stop for a rest and take advantage of the nice weather we had and to share our megar offerings of bread which they proceded to dunk in the pond. The frogs decided to give way at this point and crawled into a crevice in the rock wall near by. I did spy Jingle in the attack position at one point but was able to grab her in time. They stayed with us until about 9pm and then moved on to greater ponds I guess. What a treat that was!
Other news - I made a trek back to San Diego for a week just to go through items I had still in storage. Again, I'm sorry I didn't call people as this was just a time to focus and get through it all. Very emotional trip as I had to part with items that were probably not much of anything, but something to me. You know how that goes. I visited with Kellan and enjoyed the SD sunshine.
I was back to work for 2 days before our Easter break of a week kicked in. Roger and I trained down to London to take care of business at the U.S. Embassy and took a couple more days to see all the sites again. We met with friends for a drink on a boat on the Thames and had dinner following at a fab Indian restaurant. The next day we met my Godmother at a Windsor restaurant for lunch before going back to her beautiful home in Maidenhead to further visit. She was once married to a famous entertainer here and lives in a gorgeous home on the Thames. The 3rd day we walked several miles around the city and enjoyed the fine weather before returning home. Had a nice Easter dinner at ours the next day with finger sandwiches (very twee) and on the Monday Roger turned another year older! And that's about it.
So, until further notice Readers........
