MERRY CHRISTMAS.

I looked at your duck Rod and drooled.

There some native ducks that bread in the wild here and the young one are just the right age or feather development for Christmas Dinner.

Five beautiful free range plump ducks. All I need is some bread, fishing line and one other very secret ingredient.

But the Cinderella Club(the girls)here would bash me if I was lucky.

They keep counting the ducks!

Merry Christmas Rod.

"Keep counting the ducks" ?

You would not want to if you were West Indies cicketer Courtney Walsh,
He was out for a "duck" 43 times

Of course Don Bradman was out for a duck in his last innings.

In the Navy, if you were easily fooled,
you were referred to as a "wood duck"

The term is a shortening of the term "duck's egg", the latter being used long before Test cricket began. When referring to the Prince of Wales's (the future Edward VII) score of nought on 17 July 1866, a contemporary newspaper wrote that the Prince "retired to the royal pavilion on a "duck's egg"".

The name is believed to come from the shape of the number "0" being similar to that of a duck's egg.

You got me Rod! A Cricket fan like me and never thought about a poor batsman getting a Duck.

Day after tomorrow as always they put on the great day of Cricket for my birthday. The Boxing Day Cricket Test Match. If it was not for my birthday this great games would not be on Boxing Day.

The ducks that are roaming around here we call Wood Ducks and they breed in huge numbers. The early settlers had a liking for them and funny enough especially at Christmas time.

Many of the older ones that are gone now would talk about eating so much Mud Crab that they would hate sit down for a meal of them for 100th time in a row and just groan.

Talking about Ducks. How is this for a pair!
