Ducks on the March

Five of Spence and Sadie's ducks are marching pretty nicely now. So we're, I think, more than halfway there. The stragglers will get a look-see in the next couple of days. The goal is to have them ready to fly in good formation by Monday. Some of them are flying Monday, regardless of whether all of them are ready to go or not. Those who are ready are taking off.

They've been promised to the editor, who has promised to read them this week (which is why we want ALL of them ready to go). It would be lovely to know what she wants done with them before I head off for England mid-month. If it's not a vast amount I might even be able to do it. But first I have to get them ready and send them in the first place.

Once they are gone, I think Spence and Sadie might come back and blog again. They're too busy right now to do anything other than work. But by next week they should have their happily ever after (I hope). Wish them luck.
Last day to sign up for the Wedding Bells II contest is Sept 1st. Stop by my website and do so, if you haven't already.

Gunnar is looking forward to lots of treats (he learned from Sid, Kate Walker's cat, that he who chooses the winners gets lots of treats -- a treat for every entry.) So he wants LOTS of participants! Do Gunnar a favor -- sign up!

Dear Gunnar

I'm glad you purrsuaded Anne (aka The Lady Across the Pond) to let you choose the winners of the contest. Obviously, like me, you will do so with total seriousness, gravity and the scrupulous attention to fairness that the task demands - and with no consideration at all of which name has the tastiest looking treat on top of it.

I hope you - sorry - Anne - gets plenty of entries and you approach the choosing in the necessary responsible frame of mind

PS The Bag of Books Contest worked a treat - lots of treats! My Mum had over 200 entries for that. Perhaps you could suggest somethng similar for TLATP soon.
Just don't go chasing all those darn ducks, no matter how much their quacking annoys you.
