Here’s another lovely duck unlike any other duck: the blue duck of New Zealand. It was first described by Johann Friedrich Gmelin in 1789. In addition to being a duck-describer, Gmelin was a malacologist. That sounds ominous to me, but it means he studied molluscs, especially snails and slugs.


Hymenolaimus malacorhynchos, the blue duck, whio in Māori


Do you think we should give the mollusc his due? Let me know. Your wish is my command! I’ll see you tomorrow, I hope!

Well done Sarah, this day belongs to YOU ! Keep it going !!

I am doing a Buddhism course and last night, did a meditation on the preciousness of human life and how fortunate I am. Certainly, life is tough for me right now but I am so fortunate to be able to face it sober ! Slept peacefully and woke up today feeling serene with a smile on my face

Another 24 hours of happiness, compassion and sobriety pls ! Its 8:46am here !

24 more please, it's just turned witching hour now here in the wet and windy UK.

LONG day today, boarded out and plastered a huge ceiling and opened out an old fireplace that had been bricked up for a customer, gonna be another long one tomorrow as I have the walls to plaster up and brickwork round the fire to make pretty... Add to that my kids broke up for easter holidays on friday and it's busy busy busy lol

Love being out at work though, everyday's a little different..

Hope everyone's ok
Congrats to everyone who's made it through a sober day, whether you're just starting out or clocking up a milestone...

Thoughts to anyone struggling.

Stupid quote of the day: "A spade can be a double edged sword you know"

Stay safe

Happy Monday- I missed yesterday because I had a lovely 'cyber-free' day- it was great.

Today we celebrate Turkey Neck Soup. Yup, that's what I said. Honestly, I'd rather have pie.

Here are some Tom Turkey facts:

The turkey is named “Tom”, because Ben Franklin always teased “Tom” Jefferson for not picking the turkey as the national bird. (Wish I were a fly on the wall for that!!!!)

The turkey was never a staple for native Americans because they were seen as weak. They were only eaten in times of famine.

Turkey chicks have a tendency to drown on rainwater. They become curious about the phenomenon above their heads, and look until they drown.

“Legend has it” in the 1800’s they cross-bred turkey and chicken into “turken”.

All major documents signed in the founding of the United States used the quill (feather) of a turkey for their signing.

There ya go! I'm sure you learned something, I know I did.

24 more for me.
