Curling update and COVID–19
JB is quite committed to curling. It's a wonderful pastime. He has created a matric, and keeps track of the teams, wins, losses, standing. There isn't a lot of information on many news sites. Sometimes, World Curling updates stuff, but not quickly. I've found a CBC reporter, Devin Heroux, who is quite prolific on curling information.
The news unfolded over the Sunday/Monday. There were four positive cases of COVID–19 amongst curling broadcast staff commentators. There are two broadcast commentator teams, TSN and World Curling crews, with one set of camera operators for both those crews. Monday morning there were three more cases in broadcast staff.
The games on Sunday morning were cancelled, to be played later this week. The games resumed Sunday afternoon, but won't be broadcast until Tuesday, as the staff are isolated in their respective hotels. There weren't any positive cases amongst the teams, other than the original one identified in the German team. They played with 3 players.
Springtails
Yes, springtails, AKA snow fleas, making merry in the cold water of the frogpond.
Cat food issues
Now, spring tales...
From LAWS, in Smiths Falls, JB went to the health unit offices. You'll recall the needles/syringes I found on our property. The health unit suggested I call the police or the municipality, but she didn't think they'd pick them up if they were on private property. They did lend us gloves a sharpie container and picker-upper. 
Duck tales and Docktails!

...lots of tails/tales!
Lacey doesn't like cat food and eats mostly dry. She does like human tuna. We give her the GT brand, which she actually prefers. Still, much of it consists of licking up the gravy. There are more exotic foods that I see in the pet store, but they are so expensive that I am loathe to try them.
Interesting observation about the ducks.
Funny about cat food preferences.

Cat food; I seem to recall some hoo hah quite a few years back about Whiskas and other such companies putting something that was tantamount to "cat heroine" into their food, causing an addiction. I used to be no top of all that when I had Jasper, but it's been a few years...
Needles; that was clearly major dumping of some kind - would the police/forensics not be interested to assess them to ascertain what they held? For heaven's sake, it might even have been covid vaccines! (Or am I just being too much the amateur sleuth???) YAM xx
Cats can be picky!
Good news about your duck box eggs! Hate that somebody is using your property for that purpose (those needles), ugh).
Some cats are so fussy, and others not at all, We had one ginger stray, Tom, the biggest and loudest of all, and he waited till the other 4 had fed, then had whatever was left. Now, Boris is fussier than ever, and has Iams biscuits. Love the deck saga, " If I just walk to the other end, I can still see you" Have they ever thought about leaping in?
Gosh, I wonder where those needles came from. Grocery store tins of cat food give Ellie Mae the runs. (super gross on a long-hair cat) so I buy her tins of Snappy Tom from Pet Smart. Expensive, but keeps her gut my senses at peace.
The ducks certainly don't like kitties.
