Thank Ducky for the Rose. It's simply beautiful and I will treasure it. It's OK for Ducky to nibble the plants as long as the fumes don't hurt her. She's very small and certainly can't eat much. She needs to keep up her strength since she's doing all the costume making, gathering the materials for them, and sitting on her nest. It won't be long until she's a mother with all her little ducks in a row. I'll have to grow some other types of plants before then. We can't have Ducky feeding her little ones the leaves of the fume producing plants. I sent for different types of seeds. Sure hope they get here soon.
The opera director has agreed to move the opera performance to the upper deck, so we won't have to bother the Captain. I understand the Captain has been spending time in the Gym trying to get strong enough to carry Mrs. Grundy onstage. I hope the deck is strong enough to hold Mrs. Grundy. I also hope she doesn't fall off of the deck while doing her opening number. I don't think all the blankets or blanket holders on the Motley would be able to catch her. She might go right through all the decks and be lost in space.
If you see Sherlock tell him that he can usually find matches around the green plants. There's always somebody setting some leaves on fire.
