The hoodoo of a repaired door

My ducks are so funny. I repaired the old door to their pen a couple of days ago; its the same old shape, hinges and wire, but has three sides of new timber. But will the ducks go in and out? Not on your nelly! These creatures that can so easily not notice if one of their babies goes missing, do not trust that door one inch. The first night I had to catch them individually and put them in, yesterday they didn’t come out all day, then today I had to chase them out. Now they have been lingering suspiciously outside again, but have finally decided to make the daring crossing in, lured by new pond water.

Waving his sweat stick

hippo suit

Of course, I’m wondering about the making of the 90 kilogram hippo suit, with the head cast apparently made from a real hippopotamus, and finished in fibreglass! But the whole story, with pictures, is pure laughter. (Don’t miss the video) Favourite quote:

He got close enough to them but they passed by him on the opposite side to the one on which he was waving his sweat stick.

What exactly was he was going to do with his sweat stick, tickle under their arms perhaps? And can’t you imagine the advertising for (lets hope synthetic) wild hippo sweat sunblock? And will we find some baggage handlers careering around in the hippo suit one day? :)
