Note to self
When you bring the boys in half an hour early because of the imminent arrival of horizontal rain, do not leave the ducks out until their usual time if you've just had a busy weekend that's made you tired and forgetful.
The best-case scenario is that they've already put themselves to bed before the wind gets strong enough to move the breezeblock holding the door open and blows it shut on them, because that way all that happens is you have to scrabble around in the dark and aforementioned horizontal rain collecting their water bucket, feed bowl, and the bolt from the door that keeps coming off ever since your father helpfully fixed the door and in the process unhelpfully screwed in that random sticking-out nail that, it turns out, is what was stopping the bolt from coming off....
We shan't consider hypothetical worst-case scenarios, although I dare say that the foxes have the sense to stay in the dry tonight.
