duck
Late last night (after what I'll call a pre-production meeting with Matt getting set for a weekend of ohmy! filming) I did my civic duty for the day by rescuing a sitting duck. Yep, a duck. It was sitting right in the middle of the road by the river in Mount Pleasant.
The exercise involved a blanket, some gentle persuasion and a very soaked jacket (it was raining at the time) but I eventually moved the pretty unexcitable duck from the middle of the road over to the riverbank. Where is sat just as bored-looking as it did on the road.
So, yeah. It was a weird night.
Update: Continuing the Animal Hospital theme, out the back of the office tonight I stumbled across am uuuugh-ly redback spider. It ran in behind a ledge when I walked past, so I went inside looking for spider-killing things. We didn't have any insect spray stuff, so I used lavendar air freshener instead. I figure even if it's still alive, we should be able to smell it coming.

Actually, continuing the theme even more, I saw About a Boy on Saturday night, which also has a duck at one kinda pivotal point. Weirdness.

"Are we having duck?"

You know, merely the fact that you guys have spiders bigger than my entire hand is exactly why I'm never moving to/visiting Australia. Sure it's beautiful, but no, I'll stick with viewing your photos, and watching the Travel channel.
