Why did the duck cross the road?

Tonight heading home, traffic was at a standstill on Essex causeway, while ducks crossed from the river to Woodmans parking lot.

I grabbed for my camera, but ducks walk fast! Most of the ducks had crossed, but one wasn’t sure if it was safe;Β the rest of the ducks disappeared behind Woodmans. Eventually the final duck crossed – and I was ready with my camera!

So why did the duck cross the road? … To join his friends, of course πŸ™‚

Working!

MTTS’08 badges

Back in 2006, I got a really nice MINI Takes The States badge / fridge magnet from Todds MotoringBadges website; although I’m much less thrilled by this years event, I still wanted to adorn my fridge, but it seems MotoringBadges is quiet now …

Instead I saw that CooperFlags had produced a nice looking magnetic badge, so I ordered a couple, although a little wary from my original experience with that company, that was a long time ago and I think the company has changed hands since then.
Still, after waiting a couple weeks with nothing delivered, I wondered, but happily the badges arrived today and are well worth the wait πŸ™‚
