Just another Sunday
Went to my paddling waters last Sunday and on the road there everything was fine for the first 60 km. Then the brakes stopped to answer to my attempts to engage them. Experienced fear of good for the third time in my life, but made it to the destination, stomach full of butterflies. Made it back home after paddling as well.Saw no seal.
But have surprised a swain family – two adults and two chickens, now in their swainy teens – coming with the elements from behind an island. Was observing them since the late of July, when I saw them for the first time, the chickens newly hutched then. A very distinguished family, as one of the chickens was white from the beginning, while the usual dress is grey. Took a few pictures.
The car is left for repairs, I’m stranded at home… Ah well, it’s too windy anyway.

But perhaps, I'll include one of them in my 2022 calendar. I'll order a few exemplars with the pictures of this year. A New Year gift for myself and a few friends.
I've never witnessed it personally but the story goes that when ducklings hatch, they'll follow you no matter where and form a bond. Similar to dogs I guess but ducks are inquisitive, resourceful and like the saying goes......"water off a ducks back" but they'll remember you. Similar to elephants too I spose.
Never kill a single duck with his/her partner unless you need to
ps, Man, I'm hungry and have mouths to feed whilst tucking into KFC pleading the fifth
As for example, when you are already accelerating to overtake a lorry and a car, that was hanging after it for ages, suddenly shifts to the left line without engaging blinkers.
Needless to say, though, that I wasn't challenging the gods' patience while driving with dodgy brakes, but drove in the right line, nice and easy. And relatively slowly.
I'm glad you didn't have an accident..
I'd prefer if you got the brakes fixed, before there is a problem.
Brakes are important.
How nice to see a swan family. Perhaps a seal will be viewed next time, after the brakes are repaired, of course.
