To go outside or not to go outside ...

Still at work so S and I decided a walk outside was needed to clear the cobwebs - and a chat with Mr and Mrs Swan.  It seemed like a good idea until we reached the door.  Looking out it appeared to be raining.  However we are not a fair weather friends to Mr and Mrs Swan and Mrs Swan's adopted son Piccolino the Duck and Piccolina.  S and I headed out into the rain with the duck and swan food.  Brief chat with the Swan family and then we attempted to go back inside - S had a slight issue with opening the door so on the 5th attempt we managed to open the door and retreat from the rain.
