Diary

Two ducks were dancing outside my window this morning.

They bobbed their heads up and down in a rather lovely manner.

Then the male duck got all excited and did an aquatis pirouette, and the female laid herself down a little lower in the water.

As soon as she gave her consent, the male got on top of her, she disappeared under water, and the male jerked up and down for something less than a minute.

And that's how, on this grey and sad looking morning, new life began.
