LOVED the ducklings story too, espcially since they have been featuring so much over at MENO recently!! <br /><br />Am typing this from Hilary's computer in the UK - finally here. Landed safely yesterday. Stay safe and well.

In areas by the rivers especially cars are held up while protective parents shoo their fluffy offspring across busy roads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-28085432600324746472013-11-27T18:40:43.018+08:002013-11-27T18:40:43.018+08:00It truly does give us back a tad of faith in human...It truly does give us back a tad of faith in human nature to see that type of thing happen. It's quite common in various parts of Perth and its suburbs. The hold up this morning was one of our major freeways leading into the city itself. Even by the time Phil and B arrived the traffic was still quite slow but as B said "even if you can only do 60 it only takes a couple of more minutes than if you are doing 100 so why worry about it?" A good philosophy to have especially when driving a car.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-26115126151954637532013-11-27T18:38:27.284+08:002013-11-27T18:38:27.284+08:00Thanks Rose....we can only hope 'cos this will...Thanks Rose....we can only hope 'cos this will be the last car for us unless we have a big win on Lotto which is highly unlikely going by our past record!!<br />It's strange how tiny creatures do inspire kindness in most of us although I guess there's always an exception, more's the pity. <br />I've heard the same here if a similar thing makes people late for work....'well done' is usually said.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-89566416080474654552013-11-27T14:19:30.620+08:002013-11-27T14:19:30.620+08:00I like the way everyone will stop to let ducks cro...I like the way everyone will stop to let ducks cross roads, we used to have a family of ducks in Adelaide, every year at about the same time, people would watch for the ducklings to hatch and when mama duck took them across the road a policeman would hold up the traffic to make sure they made it safely.

What a sage this has been for you both.<br />I believe that baby animals and their parents can soften the hardest of hearts. Ducklings used to hold up the roads down in Tasmania when I lived there. When people were late to work because of that, they were mostly given a pat on the back!Rose ~ from Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908281749611280188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-14979040166790823672013-11-27T11:17:32.671+08:002013-11-27T11:17:32.671+08:00Hey, guess what!!!!

We can't afford a new car but seems this one may be costing us a bit in the future. It's in for a service next week so hopefully he can find out what the damage will be when we have to get the clutch done.<br />Cars....like money....are a necessary evil at times.<br />I too feel like that about people and the ducks...there are human beings after all that do stop to smell the roses.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-19551673877737480122013-11-27T11:07:03.703+08:002013-11-27T11:07:03.703+08:00I am so glad that you are getting a loan car.
