Happy New Year!

It's 2016!

Taken on the last day of 2015.

The noisy fireworks have finished (we hope)

 and we're off to bed.

Best wishes for a good year!

Christmas in Australia...

Stolen, borrowed downloaded from the internet.

What can we say.....

News Flash!

HELP!  SHE's gone berserk!

 SHE methodically walked through our back garden, collected our strategically placed toys, and threw them in the rubbish bin!

We do still have the indoor toys and the new ones Frankie & Ernie sent us--but that's not the point!

SHE's not getting this one.

 WARNING:   BEWARE the Christmas cull!

We're still on a break....we comment when our computer cooperates.

Hope these might give you something to Ho Ho Ho about.

We interrupt our break....

to tell you about our surprise package.

We knew who it was from as soon as we saw the card!

It had been opened by the Customs Officials.

 Because it said the detector dogs indicated there may have been a biosecurity concern.

 But it was all good....everything stayed in the box.

  (We think the security dogs were trying to get to the People Crackers.)

 We got a new scottie statue, a scottie stuffie that squeaks and has Pees on Earth written on it...BOL!

 Three squeaky 'Snowfreak' stuffie balls, and a big pink ball with a VERY LOUD squeak.

And SHE got some Spotty, scottie socks!

Thank you soooooooo much Ernie (and Frankie Farter).

We love EVERYTHING!

What's this?

 Smells funny....

 

This froggy visits every night (this was taken with a flash).  He doesn't move when Dui comes close, so Dui leaves him alone.

We hope everyone has an enjoyable, safe Thanksgiving.
We're taking break from blogging....

Tasty Tuesday (and other stuff)

This morning I looked for MY cockie, but it wasn't there.....

 SHE thinks this is the bird.  It was way down by the river.

But, really, who can tell one cockatoo from another?

Dui was NOT shown the bird. 

 

 Later in the day, SHE went to a friend's who was trimming LAMB chops for dinner, and we got the off-cuts and a couple of whole chops deemed not good-looking enough for the guests.

SHE stewed them up with carrots and rice.

We had a very tasty dinner--and there's some for tomorrow,

 as well. 

 Later..............

 SHE found these ads on the computer.....

And our favourite....Roxy is one of these....

Don't know whether to laugh or cry...

Monday Mischief

I, Dui, nearly caught a cockatoo this morning.

 There's no photograph, but it looked like this one we found

 on the internet.

I would have had it...

If SHE hadn't been jumping around between me and it screaming.......

Foiled again.
