The Blog From The Bog; Disjointed rants and ravings of a fluently foul mouthed, ex pat living in Co. Leitrim, here giving full rein to his own quirkiness. The character of " Ditch Shitter " having been forged, over years, on 'The Hunting Life' forum proved so strangely popular with enough people there, before I left, that their now constant drip of " Long time, no see; What ye up to? " notes has led me to answer them all, here.

Nine Ducks ~ And Counting .....
It's all getting a bit sad, and pathetic, now. Last week I reported how someone had put eleven ducks back on the little river, in town. Today they were, already, down to nine.
I counted them as I passed by, on my way to the library. Coming back, I decided to photograph them for ye. But, even as I came along, camera out and the setting chosen, a woman crossed the little bridge above them and a moggy appeared from the car park behind. Pandemonium!
Fucking ducks were everywhere! No where to go. No where to hide. About half a dozen jumped into the water, quacking their heads off. The rest just slapped their feet on the narrow bank which is all the home they have.
I spoke to Hugh, my Butcher, about it. We spoke of how they have no shelter. No proper food source. No real hope. They're fucked ducks.
Alright Ditch, just wondered if you'd had your cheese like?
