Present

Mum gave herself a you've worked too hard this month Christmas present.  She liked the look of this pink gin.  She couldn't have any tonight as she is on Call, but she will be ready tomorrow evening.

She finished work early and braved the crowds in town to look at a shops but the things she looked at weren't right.  So she took a walk, and got some noodles for dinner popped into the bottle store and then came home to be with me.

Present

Mum got me a present to say sorry for going away.  It is a feather from a big bird, an ostrich.  She made the lady in the shop laugh when she told her she was buying it for me, as usually the posh ladies buy them as decorations in their homes. 

I had fun chasing it for 5 minutes then I needed a sleep.

Present

For Mothers day, I got my mum this lovely little brooch. It was handmade here in New Zealand by the talented Melissa at http://www.tinyhappy.typepad.com/, she sells her stuff on ETSY. Anyways, it is made of charcoal wool with 1920s lace sewn on top, and mum says it will look great on her winter coats and jumpers. She says I have good taste.

Deaded Present

This morning, my mum found the present I left for her in the bath. It was a deaded cicada a bit like this one. She says it was better than last weeks present (a headless deaded mouse).

She is hoping the killing spree is over.

Stay tuned - tomorrow we will announce the winners of our competition!!
