Dear Friends of #cake,
The other day on #Tooting Common #pond, two nearly #mature 'ugly ducklings', had nearly turned into swans. They were however unwilling to guzzle some #seeded #wholemeal bread. We surmised that they had been feasting on left over #Christmas cake and were a little full. It was the afternoon, #cold enough for #seagulls to #walk on thin ice and attack the #mandarin #duck ... if he attempted to eat bread thrown his way. His smaller drab brown consort had to run for cover, unfed ... 
We did see a #heron, who prefer a quiet pond. Heron are keen on fish cake (no ... think I dreamed that) #crustaceans, #carp and other #real #fish ...
In the #human realm caked #influencers are #skimming the gullible waters and crying crocodile tears ... 😭 to further their follower number lifestyles

My sibling is making cake as a form of #therapy. I hope some will come my way. It reminds me of a communist #magician I knew, who ate #breakfast fruit cake his mother #baked every Sunday.
