We knocked on a few doors in the next street trying to find out who keeps ducks locally but everyone was at work. Tom pressed one Ring doorbell and it answered: “Hohoho! Have you been naughty this year or have you been nice? Please leave a message, MERRY CHRISTMAS!” Tom sounded rather self conscious speaking a message about a lost duck into a doorbell
@purplepadma for ducks sake!
(Not a censorious spellcheck!)
@purplepadma how goes the duck now?
@helenclayton I honestly don’t know, as darkness fell it remained on the neighbours’ roof. I’ll go out and look for it at first light
@purplepadma @helenclayton wow this is the best single-line story i've heard in a long time. (also, i hope it's ok!!)
@moonrabbit @purplepadma maybe it wants to join the goose wingy.
@moonrabbit @helenclayton Haha you missed the other chapters of Duck Tales then. Random duck appeared in our close in the same place for hours and did not want to be “popped in a box” and taken to the vet. I think there’s something wrong with one of its feet but it was able to fly up onto the roof. My dad pointed out that if it was a farm duck you might have expected its wings to be clipped. So who knows where it’s from. I hope it’s OK but it refused help
@purplepadma @helenclayton oh no! poor love, i hope it's ok. maybe it'll be more amenable to your charms tomorrow, if it's still there.
how are you anyway? has your day been ok?
@purplepadma poor lost duck. Thank you for looking out for them.
