It's #RubberDuckyDay and these things have become almost ubiquitous on cruise ships over the last few years for some reason with people hiding them all over the place for others to find and keep, or photograph for social media and re-hide.

This one was spotted on the P&O ship Azura in the Adriatic Sea a few years ago. We leave them for others - especially children if they're aboard - to find.

Bigger than jesus coming back to life and laying an egg. Bigger than Santa's birthday. Bigger even than your birthday. It is of course..... #RubberDuckDay. What does this mean? As a symbol of joy and unity, rubber ducks have symbolic importance in the LGBTQ+ community (particularly in the Netherlands, where they feature in pride parades), representing fun, playfulness, and acceptance.

Fun duck facts!... searches for “big yellow duck” were blocked in China in 2013 because activists in China were using the Rubber Duck sculpture and imposing it onto the Tank Man photo of the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

And in 1992, over 28,000 rubber ducks were accidentally spilled into the Pacific Ocean and became subjects of scientific study as they provided useful insights into ocean currents and helped predict storm paths!

So however you're celebrating #RubberDuckieDay.... I hope you've left some PEAS (not bread) out for Father Duckmas and have the whole family round today to.... have a bath together?

Whatever. Have a great day everybody!
