Duck Dreams.

Yes.  One more post then thats it.  Damn things are taking over my life.

 The sale of the little yellow ducks raised over £200.  We sold 100 on one day at Super Saturday (which is a monthly event in the Summer to regenerate the toon centre.) 
Here is the DP on the left handing over the dosh.  Ian on the right is the lovely chap who owns a proper old fashioned newsagent/toy shop in Fraserburgh and sold most of the ducks.  And is constantly being pestered for more.  So hey ho we have another 100 winging their way up from Englandshire.

Fraser, who Ian is holding, is Fraserburgh's ambassaduck.  The DP is the chair of Fraserburgh Area Tourism Group.  I tell you friends this duck thing has really took off.

Our brave lifeboat crew, mainly volunteers, used Fraser for their rescue exercise this week.

(I have decided to become a volunteer. I do have a bronze medal in life saving. )  Fit!

The facebook page continues to have people posting up their placing or discovering other peoples placings of the yellow ducks.

Some poignant.

Many scenic.

But - for me -  the best ones are where the wee ones find the yalla dooks.

The latest is the independent shopkeepers in Fraserburgh now want to dress their shop windows with a yellow duck.  Size in between Fraser and the wee ones.

Hence my duck dreams.

Quackers in the North East of Scotland.

Whoever described the Scots as dour really got it wrong.

For a couple of weeks now the DP and I have noticed these yellow plastic ducks appearing on fence posts on our way into Fraserburgh.  Obviously well fixed as it does get a tad windy up here.  Was it a treasure hunt?  Or what?????

Apart from being a wee bit distracting driving along as one had ones eyes on the side of the road checking for ducks it really brought a smile to ones face.

My travelling has been to the various clinics I attend for the different bits of me leading to blood tests etc.  Each clinic focusses on one aspect.  They never look at you as a whole person.  
Lower your cholesterol.
You need to put weight on.
Being depressed is part of COPD.
Do not take any of your drugs next whenever we are testing you for diabetes.

So for me the sighting of the ducks was just wonderful.

Then the ducks went viral on facebook.

They were not just up and down our country lane but all over around Fraserburgh.

Can you find all the yellow ducks? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=843510542408736&set=gm.384683061734219&type=1&theater

 Save Fraserburghs Yellow Ducks  facebook page was set up as rumours went round someone was removing the ducks!

It would appear that some person, anonymous so far, bought 200 of the ducks and decided to adorn the countryside to make people smile.

Well it worked. Big time.  Now we are hoping to somehow use the ducks to fund raise in some way for a local charity.  Watch this space!  And keep looking for ducks.

And finally I came across a medical person who looked at me as a whole person.  Who told me to eat what I wanted, drink what I wanted and LIVE.  Changed my medication told me to forget about all the testing until I was rid of chest infections and got to a weight where I could fight them on my own.  With her and the ducks my depression went.

I just might buy her a yellow plastic duck.
