We think one of the ducks is gone. I put them all in the garage tonight and one of the cayugas, Buttons, failed to appear. She's a big duck but very slow and it's possible that she's got separated from a few others and not found her way home. I hope she'll turn up in the morning or start quacking when the others come out. They're all individuals and it would be a shame if she's gone.
We've been discussing Christmas and how we can make it ok. GF has various issues stemming from her childhood, one of which is receiving presents. We've tried to find a name for it, but there's nothing really on the web about it. She didn't really get much in the way of presents and what she did get were never well thought out or were what her mother wanted, etc. Her brother fared better, but then he's a boy, so different rules apply. It's something we're going to reassess as we get nearer and see how things go. I want to make it the Christmas she never had but it might be too much in one go, so we'll tackle one thing at a time.
