Boxing Day

Mum had a lovely day staying with her friends for Christmas.  These are two of their four chickens Umby and Speck.  Mum had fun taking pictures of them and the garden.

I was glad when mum got home and talked to me.  I got extra Christmas treats, but she didn't bring me home a chicken of my own although she let me have a chicken fancy feast.

Boxing Day

Boxing day is coming to a close here in kiwiland.  Mum got this big box last week (she bought a chair from the internet).  So she has let me play in the box inside.  I can have it til Wednesday when the recycling is picked up and then it will be gonzo.

Last night mum went into work at 8pm and was there until after 1am.  She got some sleep at 3am and then got woken up at 6.30am and went back for a couple of hours.  She then thought as she was awake at 9am she would pop into town and look at a couple of sales.  Well town was already pumping, there were lots of people already out and shopping.  Mum got a 1/2 price bra, a couple of tshirts a couple of other little things.  She was fading fast, so back home for a nap.  It only lasted an hour, before I popped into to tell her I was ready for my dinner - every 3 seconds.  So finally she got me fed.

Then she had her dinner of Christmas leftovers before back to work 7.30pm-10:30pm.  Just as she was walking into our house, she watched the helicopter arrive at the hospital, so she is going to sit down for 10 minutes and then wait to see if she is called back in.  Time to watch a bit of The Bodyguard - mum does love a bit of young Kevin Costner.

The good thing is that she can drop the phone in tomorrow morning for someone elses turn.

So hope you are all enjoying your boxes too!!

Boxing Day

Mums on call night was not too bad - she got home and to bed by 3am this morning.  So she was up and about just after 8.  A quick trip through town which was crazy busy by 10am with people pursuing the sales.  Mum instead headed out of town to visit her good friends who live beside the sea in a small village.  They were having a tasty lunch of steamed dumplings and salad.  Boy was it good.  Then a tasty orange cake and mum needed a quick walk.  The sun had begun to shine and luckily there was a little breeze to keep it nice and cool.

Then mum darted home in time to play with me, do some washing, cook dinner and relax before the call phone goes on again in 10 minutes.

Mum was thinking of last Boxing Day - which we had to spend at the emergency vet after my bunged up eye.  Such drama.

Hope you all got to do some fun stuff today too!!

Boxing Day

Today I had a few snoozes, it was a lovely day but mum had to work all day at the hopsital. She is pretty tired, but will get some time off with me soon.

I hopes you are all relaxing and taking it easy.
