It's hot again today, almost too hot to sleep after night shift.
There is a Flower Show meeting at 2pm
I will leave you with two more entries to the novelty veg/fruit competition

I love that Duck!...how are you feeling about the impending retirement John? you are so full of energy I can't imagine you not filling your time with all sorts of things.
ReplyDeleteSo simple and nice.
ReplyDeleteThe duck is brilliant - no adornment but regarding the green peacock - I am afraid it just looks like a lettuce to me.
ReplyDeleteQuackers over the duck.
ReplyDeleteclever!
DeleteThat duck/marrow looks like it was grown for the purpose - I suspect fowl play...
ReplyDeleteJust a happy accident. I ate it for my tea.
DeleteOh My Goodness you ate it ! ! ! !
DeleteI hope it was as tasty as it looks.
You destroyed the evidence! Duck books into a hotel with a young model and immediately asks for a condom. Receptionists asks if he wants to pay now, and he says, "Put it on my bill."
DeleteThats the spirit sue! X
DeleteIf the duck wins, the prize should go to Mother Nature.
ReplyDeleteWhere do i send her certificate?
DeleteAs in previous years you have had some amazing entries, John. Truly astonishing. However, as the French say, that courgette duck is "simple yet stylish". The definition of (seemingly) effortless elegance. The epitome.
ReplyDeleteTo expand on Starting Over's perceptive and valid comment, namely that "the prize should to go to Mother Nature", I'd like to add that the prize should go to the one who recognizes form without feeling need to add to/alter anything.
U
That duck is everything!

ReplyDeleteNaughty
DeleteThat duck would ever so beautifully adorn my dining room table!
ReplyDeleteThe duck is perfection. The peacock is simple and pretty. I love them both.
ReplyDeleteThe duck is a great observation. :)
ReplyDeleteMy Granddad used to say 'love a duck'. I wonder where it originated? Perhaps it was a gentleman's way of saying something else.
ReplyDeleteFirst seen ( in print) was in james Joyce’s Ulysses
DeleteTwo Blue Ribbons !
ReplyDeleteThis is more like what I think the contest is all about. I always seem to have embellish mine somewhat.. But I try to leave the basic veggie there without too much tampering.
Both of these made my morning.
cheers, parsnip and thehamish
These are both wonderful. There are so many good eyes here.
ReplyDeleteEach one you publish here seems more clever than the last. There are some clever bloggers out there, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteJohn, you haven't told us all about the retirement bash you are having in your local village hall. The one to which we followers are all invited... You are planning on letting us all pitch tents in your garden... aren't you???? :-)
ReplyDeleteNo bash..i will dissapear into the mist like a mysterious femme
DeleteWales is not hot. Hot is Las Vegas, Nevada, this week where it has been 112 degrees Fahrenheit this week with 115 and even 120 in the near-term forecast. Wales is cool by comparison.
ReplyDeleteThey are both great, but the duck has class.
ReplyDeleteA prize . . . for the duck!
ReplyDeleteAll I see is duck. Nature is so clever.
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog, i always enjoy & read the post you are sharing!
