It's coming up for five weeks since The Rape Of Dorothy, and there still hasn't been any sightings of them on the fountains. Juanita and Martino made a brief appearance today, picking at the remains of some lemon curd cake some skank had carelessly dropped outside. However I have a new feathered friend. A pigeon who hangs around Platform 7 at Central Station is very friendly and fearless of travellers and seagulls. I've called her Heather.

I'm meant to be in Cardiff at some point in the next few weeks. Expect to see me draped in black wielding a wreath for Dorothy.

Has she got a wooden leg and penchant for starring on American TV?

I have some good news! Dorothy and Rodriguez were spotted today back in the fountain! It was raining, so we didn't go out and offer them a welcome back crust of bread, but then the maintenance men came and started doing work there and they disappered. I'm hoping to see them tomorrow morning.
HOWEVER. There is a danger to the ducks, and not from Jean-Pierre, the Wilmott Brown of ducks. About 2.30 pm we spotted a fox wandering down past the fountain on its way to Torchwood Tower. He was a beautiful fox, and we've called him Foxy Brown. He was quite brazen the way he trotted past, or however foxes walk and we're hoping he wasn't there because of the ducks' return too.
I'm taking my camera to work tomorrow.

Is it me or is that the pigeon that visited killed Vera on fridays Corrie? Also, yeah for Dorothy being a rape survivor, I presume that she's been in some sort of counselling centre. But booo for the fox. Foxes killed my rabbit (who also liked raping the guinea pig) and ate the guinea pig whole. It was very rude.

They're easily my favourite ducks. They shit on the smartass one from Rosie & Jim.
Is the title for Doctor Who 4x12 'Dorothy and Rodrigeuz'?

I have adopted 2 ducks. At York Uni we have themost ducks per student of any university in th country. The part I live in is further away from the lake than the other halls, so we are sadly starved of duck companionship. However, recently 2 ducks were seen wandering the nearby area, before settling outside my house. I took this as a sign, and so provided them with water and food, and told the other students that there would be serious pain involved if the ducks were tormented or driven away. I named them Fred and Ginger after witnessing them dancing in circles around each other. I fed them every day and changed the water morning, noon and night. They recognised me and came towards me when i called, while ignoring everyone else. They even laid an egg (I presume this was on Ginger's part). Unfortunately, I had to go home for the holidays. I left my friend in charge of duck welfare as he was going to stay for the entire holiday.
But now, I have received reports that they have moved on. They haven't been seen for 4 days. The food is untouched, the egg is gone.
I am in mourning for my ducks. They were my best friends.

Fred and Ginger have returned! They came running towards me when I got home this evening, so I ran inside to fetch them some grapes! I knew they wouldn't leave me.

Ducks eat grapes?

As far as I know, only if they're in hospital.
