So – What happens on Christmas Eve around Norwich House?? To be honest, this year – not much! Nothing really Christmassy anyway. Watering, weeding, picking, eating 🙂
I have kind of let the side down in the way of sharing what happens in our neck of the woods over Christmas. I haven’t even decorated!! No-one was heading our way to celebrate, so Jeff took on some night shifts right over the Christmas period. Seemed silly to go to all the effort of finding a tree, and putting up decorations if no-one but myself was around. Figured I would be happier in the garden anyway!
No worries. I figured I would just gate-crash lunch at Ruby’s (naturally)
Best laid plans and all…
Guess who caught a cold??? ME!!
Sigh. Can’t go sharing my germs, so its just me & Pip tomorrow with a sleeping Jeff.
So – I dashed off to the supermarket to grab a few things since I would be making something for dinner tomorrow night for Jeff before he heads back to work.
In a pathetic effort to get into some kind of Christmas spirit, I dragged poor Pip upstairs to do a dodgy photo-shoot in his various festive costumes.
First we have Pip the Reindeer
Sometimes your model has to rest.
Clearly he is over the reindeer outfit – time to move on
An Elf… very fetching
The hat wasn’t doing it for him
Unfortunately all the elastic has gone doo-lally on the Santa outfit so it didn’t stay on very well… then my model fainted
I think by this point Pip was probably plotting to do away with me while I sleep tonight.
Whatever you are doing over the Festive Season, I hope you have a wonderful time!!
No doubt I will stroll back past my blog sometime Christmas Day since I seem to be at a loose end! 😀
Cheers and Merry Christmas

Lisa, First off Merry Christmas. Secondly, glad to see I’m not the only one who dresses the pet up. I have been known to put my Labrador in a fairy outfit and make him strut around the house to my husbands dismay reminding me the dog is a boy, lol.
Merry Christmas Tanya!!
lol – I bet your Lab looked SUPER in his outfit!! 😀
I bet you have a funny collection of photos too!
Have a wonderful day! 🙂
Merry Christmas Lisa! Love the outfits! Thanks for your blog; love hearing about your life in Tassie.
Merry Christmas Rita! Thank-you for following along with my blog! Its been a fun thing to do.
I hope you have a lovely day!
Hi Lisa,
We didn’t decorate either, but all our children will be visiting. Great. Hope you feel better soon and have al lovely Christmas and New Year. I remember being sick with the flu one Christmas in my 20’s. I slept all day in my sister’s bed while everyone else partied at a cousin’s house. It happens.
All my best.
Carla
Merry Christmas Carla! Sounds like you will have a fun house full this year!
I am enjoying a bit of quiet time – a bit unusual! 🙂
Happily its crazy hot here – if I find enough motivation I might even get to the beach!
Have an excellent day!
Hi Lisa,
I enjoy checking in with you via your great blog. I love your bright summer and things growing while all seems dark and cold here in Washington state. I found you from Mavis.
Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas Janet!

Mavis is fabulous how she posts my stories – I love reading her blog.
I hope your Christmas day is lovely and you stay warm and cheerful!
Oh thank you for the Pip photos. He must love you to put up with all the outfit changes. Hope you feel better and get over your cold.
Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas Ramona!!!

Poor Pip! lol – he puts up with it beautifully!
Its a hot day! Finally! A proper Australian Christmas! 😀
Merry Christmas Eve Lisa! Pip does look dashing in those outfits. 🙂 Love your blog as usual & loved the little side jaunt to Mavis’s as well! Have a wonderful warm relaxing day tomorrow. Or at least as much as you can handle!
Merry Christmas Stephanie!!
lol – yes re Mavis – funny to see a story pop up there every now and again.
I hope your day is lovely – its pretty hot here already!!!
Pip is collapsed somewhere cool! 🙂
I am home Christmas Eve with my son with a cough. He’s been fighting this all week and we were hoping he would be over it, but still coughing. Hopefully tomorrow.
It is good of Jeff to take Christmas shifts so others can spend time with their families.
Pip is VERY PATIENT for a cat. Such a beauty, too.
Merry Christmas,
Janet
Merry Christmas Janet!!
I hope your son shakes off the last of his cough – no fun at Christmas!
Its HOT here today!!
lol – I got a few funny looks from Pip – but you are right – he is VERY patient with things like that. He just kind of sits there and waits for it all to be over!:)
All the best!
