Failure is the Key to Success

• Brent Weeks' new book The Black Prism arrived today. Got to return for replacement, damaged before packing. Have to wait to read it. #
• Duck flew in our neighbour's window a while ago. We now have a duck in a cat carrier, rang the RSPCA for advice as it has an injured leg. #
• We know a vet down the road; he checked over the duck this morning and said that it was in good condition, so we let it go and it flew off. #
• The duck story continues. It had flown over next door, where her dog disturbed it. In the end it flew off across the gardens gaining height. #
