Default duck duck dinner success!

Couple of things I'd have done differently, but generally it was well
received. Thanks for the tips earlier.

Duck cooked about 30 minutes faster than estimated. Not a big problem.
Skin didn't come out especially crispy, not sure what we missed there.
The salt was too much though, next time I won't be rubbing the skin with
salt before cooking. Lot less meat on the bird than expected, but we fed
5 and nobody left the table hungry.

The roasted potatoes and pumpkin went over well, no leftovers there either.

Nobody touched either the gravy I made, or the 'orange sauce' that came
in the packet with the bird. No big loss there.

I'd do it again if I could get another duck on sale.
