"Needlework..."

I have now finished the second piece of cross-stitch for my dear work-mate.

I really enjoyed doing these and am already planning my next piece to start in January.

"George Harrison"

It has been quite a while since I wrote a post, something I have been meaning to but with the rushing runway into Christmas, a working retail Christmas at that, time has gotten away with me.

The title of this post might lead one to think this'll be about The Beatles but in fact it's about a Little Bichon Friese puppy. My father and his wife's new house mate. They bought a Bichon puppy; so in mid-November we went for a wee drive to pick him and take him to Moeraki where his new parents would meet us for lunch, then take him home.

We picked him up from Arundel, Canterbury (near Geraldine), put him in a cat cage and continued on our way south to Moeraki. It was pouring with rain from not long before Oamaru all the way down.


He is rather cute. Traveled really well, only wimpering when he needed the toilet. Pulled over down a side road/street in Makikihi.

Once we had had lunch at Moeraki, the weather was rubbish so didn't go down to the boulders, we let him out to see if he needed toilet, but with the rain and cold he started shaking all over. It was cute, so we wrapped him up in a towel to warm him up.
