Duck detail

There's only so long you can put off the inevitable and when the fridge is as bare as mine was, the inevitable needed to happen today.  I girded myself then headed to the supermarket........

Surprisingly, there was no queue at all to enter - big tick!  Face mask on - tick.  Hands sanitised - tick.  Tracer app scanned - tick.  The numbers weren't big so there was plenty of space to pass safely along the aisles.  Wearing the mask whilst also wearing glasses was a pain (as I'm sure millions of others around the world already know) - the only slightly grumpy response came from the checkout lady when I put one of my bags on the checkout surface :(  Packing has to happen in the trolley unless you've bought a new bag.  I don't hold the mild grump against the lady - they must see and have to deal with all sorts of crap on top of the covid crap - I'm just pleased they're able to serve me at all.

Milk stop next - a small queue there (if 2 people constitutes a queue!) then a stop at the duck pond.  Sadly, still no Muscovy ducklings to be seen.  I do hope the pukekos haven't gobbled them up :(

Instead of duckings I've opted for detail shot of one of the Muscovy's feathers - they really are quite varied in their appearance though most are varying degrees of black and white with beautiful greeny/blue backs.  This one was the only grey one however.  See extra for a close up of their unusual heads. 

Hump day tomorrow - I really should make more effort to do the garden!
