Mandrake: not a loser

Ducks are really hard to catch. Watching someone try and catch one however is BRILLIANT. Gloria and Mandrake, the City Farm's two ducks, are going to be raced which is why one of the volunteers is knackering himself out pursuing a duck. They were brought over to an alley lined by haybales and dropped in where they got a bit bewildered and started going the wrong way. After a nailbiting three minutes, Mandrake proved to be the least nervous, stopped walking backwards and, well, got the closest to the finishing post. So we guess he won. His trainer got to keep his sombrero, poor old Gloria's got doused in water. Excellent. Oh, in other news, the Ben and Jerry's PR has thought we've been writing really long text messages all weekend and thus that we're probably a mite unprofessional. Oops. Such are the perils of phone blogging. We need t-shirts made: "I'm not a tosser, i'm working."
