An interesting look at a duck farm in South Africa that has a very special purpose that I never would have imagined. Duck farmer Denzel Metthys manages over 1,000 Indian Runner ducks who are used as a natural form of pest control on the Vergenoegd Winery. Each day the “Quack Squad” parades in front of the farm house on their way to the fields where they eat their fill of snails helping to keep the vineyard healthy. Turn on sound.
Had another great day at the CNE yesterday, watched the last hour of the air show, went to the Superdogs show (rock and roll over!) and seen some acrobats from Switzerland do a show. Besides that did some shopping and got some good deals on some jewellery and caught the last set of Wanted a great Bon Jovi tribute band from L.A. The lead singer was right on in looks and voice! When they did the song "Faith" he put on a Maple Leaf's Jersey and told everyone to keep the faith, he was originally from here!

Happy Psunday Q sters,
Another beautiful day. Heading out to enjoy it.
Some sad news, my friend's cat had been really catatonic the last few days. Took her to the vet yesterday. They did blood work & kept her overnight to hydrate her. Blood work results came back today with kidney failure. Unfortunately there was nothing that could be done with medication & with her age, 17, it was decided to send her off to kitty heaven, so she wouldn't have to suffer. We're going to put her beside my kitty, so the 2 can play together in kitty heaven. She was a feisty little kitty, weighing about 4lbs, but she was the terror of the neighbour's cat, who weighed at least twice as much & is an outdoor cat. She will be missed & the place will now seem empty without her.
My best friend neighbour has mentioned that it's
traditional in this part of the world to cut the lawn occasionally.
He may subtly be suggesting something but I haven't
quite figured it out yet. :shrug:
He also said he could more easily dispel the rumours
of my passing if I showed up at home more often.
