National Duck Day

It was National Duck Day in the UK on Saturday (3rd April). One of my friends really likes ducks and she sent round a mail asking people to protest against the way some ducks are treated - e.g.: foie gras.

I'm not sure this had the result she expected, since it reminded me that I hadn't eaten duck for ages. I went out for a Thai meal with some people from work on the Friday, but I managed to restrain myself from eating duck.

I went to Bath on Saturday and they had some people protesting about Marks & Spencers duck products. Again, I think this had the opposite effect. I went out for a meal with some friends and half of them had duck. I suspect the protests against M&S had something to do about that, since they both mentioned the protests earlier during the day.

Oops.

If you don't want people to eat ducks, perhaps the best thing is not to remind them so obviously that they can be eaten.

Holiday

I'm on holiday for a couple of weeks. Yay. Maybe now I can recharge my batteries.
