We have an extremely tiny pond in our garden, as we have no room for a larger one.  A friend of ours passes along the pathway beside our house most days on her daily walk, and always teases the HG about the size of it.  Today she gave him these tiny ducks for his pond.  Now the HG is not much into plastic ducks, but because of the spirit of her giving, he has put them in the pond, and they make my blip for today.

Spent some time out in the garden but it is quite cold and I was glad to come inside to make some coffee, the HG was busy cutting back plants but was also happy to get a warm drink.
