Snapshot Sunday – Garden Visitors
Making himself at home.
These four ducks wandered into my garden.
Visiting ducks in my garden.
I was very surprised this morning to look out the kitchen window and see four ducks wandering around in the back garden. I was even more surprised when I came home from the Op Shop at 3:30 pm and they were still there. I think they may belong to a neighbour as I have never had wild ducks in my garden in fifteen years of living here.
I had no objection to them hanging out for a while but I needed to let Cindy outside so the duckies had to go. I opened the back gate and shooed them out. The last I saw they were marching up the driveway, making no attempt to fly away.

No time for photography this weekend. It has been wet outside and I have been busy repainting my kitchen. This is the end result.

Snapshot Sunday – Memories of Formula One
Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) winner of the 2017 Australian Grand Prix
By Sven Mandel – Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, Link
Today the Australian Grand Prix was held in Melbourne, won by Sebastian Vettel for Ferrari. It was the opening race of the season and quite an enjoyable race to watch despite the retirement of our Australian driver, Daniel Ricciardo, and the constant complaining of Lewis Hamilton on the radio to his engineers. It was a popular win with the commentators and especially with the “Tifosi” the Ferrari fans. I hope we will see a variety of winners this year as the racing is more interesting when you can’t be sure who will win and that has not been the case for many years.
I have posted these photos before, they were taken long ago in Adelaide when the race was held there. I still have many photos from the years between 1985-1995 but so far these are the only ones I have scanned. Although safety was not as good in those days I did love F1 then as it was exciting to watch the likes of Senna and Mansell, Piquet and Prost battling for the championship.

Cindy is eleven
While I don’t know Cindy’s exact birthday I do know that she turns eleven some time this month. She still loves to chase a tennis ball even if she doesn’t keep it up for as long as she used to.
