It Can't be Stopped !!

Christmas is coming, barrelling in fact and there is not one solitary thing I can do about it. I am feeling some underlying pressure, some slight panic and the lists are starting to be written. Guest lists, food lists, things to do lists. I yearn for last year when I pulled the front door behind me and headed for Christmas in Europe. I must say here it is not my family that puts me under pressure but I myself wanting everything to be just right plus the in your face and constant Christmas commercialism beating it's steady drum every which way you turn. Time is getting away from me and fast.

 

Coasters for the Carnivore

Every now and again my son sends me a link to something strange but true.  He cruises Etsy for vintage oddments on occasion. Whilst I admire anyone who has the mindset and ability to crotchet, I do wonder if there is a market for a coaster that resembles flank steak. May be this is the ideal Xmas gift for a butcher friend or an ardent carnivore.

Wow - great story here !

Another Gorgeous Dog Story

Amusing but true !!

He said to me. . How many men does it take to change a roll of toilet paper? I said to him .. .. I don't know; it has never happened.

 

A Canine Craze

Apparently this is the latest craze in China - dyeing a dog to look like a wild animal. I cannot say this appeals to me at all. How long must it take and would it be toxic if they licked themselves ?? I can't see what the Cocopop could be - a hippo maybe ??

Grand Final Day

Here is a sporting event that nearly every other Australian, bar me, finds riveting, spell binding and almost the highlight of their year. I have no clue about it, nor do I want to.  Maybe it is because I grew up in a family of girls and thus it was not a constant topic or activity. What a blessing is all i can say !

Planking

This is a topic that has been on the news endlessly just lately - a seemingly foolish activity. Well this is an equally seemingly foolish photo, a manufactured pic I'm sure of canine planking. I cannot quite see the Cocopop managing to plank unless there was food involved and a lot of it. Due to being stomach heavy she would end up plopping not planking, I think !!
