Erm... I eat ducks. Is that really so bad? (Do not answer if you are Fea).

Seeing as I'm here, I should probably assign something lest I be accused of chat... Mispronouncing French words in front of people who know French can go to Mordor. Happened at interviews, happened in front of my ex-teacher... it's just no fun.

Well, considering what I had for dinner just last night...

But it is somehow different when they are babies, and when it eats twenty in one year. Three of my female ducks had each had about 4 ducklings, and not a single one lived over a month. One of them tried raising another group, but they too were eaten. She wandered around for a few days, looking very confused, quacking mournfully. It is one of the saddest things I have ever seen an animal do. This year I am keeping the mother and her (at least) 10 ducklings in the barn till they are big enough not to be swallowed whole.

I think, after an hour and a half of sitting in her classroom without a winter coat, I may be suffering from hypothermia... I certainly never looked quite so much like my avatar!

*no offense - hey, I'll be one myself someday.

I assign constantly feeling ill, hot, in pain, stiff, swollen, brain-dead, grumpy, fed up and scared.

Having idealised images shoved down your throat only makes this even more annoying so that you just want to tell the media/health services/do-gooders/just about everyone to clear off...

Fire ants. I stepped in some while walking around barefoot last night, and now my feet are covered in horribe itchy red bumps. I guess I never realized how horrible insects get in warmer climates!
