Baby duck seems to enjoy being picked up, cuddled and stroked. He (like Wiggle) is the duck that all children want to see and touch and he plays his role beautifully.

And for no other reason than the fact that Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds passed away last week, I repeat my conversation with mum on the telephone this morning.  I told mum that I had watched the documentary that she recommended me to tape that was called “Bright Lights” and detailed the last few years of life of Carrie Fisher and her mother who lived next door to each other in “the compound”.  I found it fascinating and told mum that I had watched it.  As we were talking she suddenly said, “That reminds me.  Dad and I went to see Sinatra at the London Palladium at the time when Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds had just got married and were on their honeymoon in London.  The curtain for Sinatra was late in going up and then all of a sudden Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher made a grand entry down the aisle to take their seats –  Sinatra had waited for them to arrive.  So dad and I saw them.”  Mum has many,many memories of the stars they saw both here, in America and at Cannes and the ones they met at The Colony Club.  They certainly knew how to have fun and they did.
