I studied with the OU ten years after leaving college and although it was hard at times sitting in working when Jane was outside in the garden I think it was very worthwhile and helped me change careers when I was ready. Keep up the good work!
And what's with this duck? Laying eggs, not incubating and as soon as you take them away she lays another clutch - I would let Social Services know so she can be trained in parenting skills ;-)
