Here's a great song to play for the next time you see some ducks

"Nice Weather For Ducks" by Lemon Jelly

The singular movie title game was hilarious! 😃

Crow a collective noun for murder (fun game though)?

Love it, love it, love it. Happy sigh. The narrow boat jargon with locks (and quays?) and windlasses?? is all way over my head. But congratulations for learning so much from your amazing father. I adore the duck art. And the clog dancing. And the amended titles. Perfection. Another wonderful post. Thanks so much. 🤗🤗😘

I like your illustrations, as usual, both the drawing and the photos. I can see I'm going to have to draw a duck in my reply. Clog dancing: I've always preferred Pan's People myself, but still. All the fillums I like are unworkable in singular form, but I shall have a go. Nice idea!

Ducks, clog dancing and canal boats! You write about the most interesting things, Rebecca. And I have certainly never heard the word de-pluralization! I loved the dancing video. Those are some serious shoes. And I had to look on line to learn more about Indian Runner ducks. Thanks for bringing back my own canal boating experiences, including the Ponsisilty Aqueduct (yeeeps!) Great memories. A thoroughly delightful read!

Great duck art!

I also wonder how you two never fell in to the drink when you were jumping back onto the boat. That sounds like a risky move to do that.

Wow! Rain looks the same over there as it does here. 🤣

Another informative post that I truly enjoyed Rebecca.
