Beware the Christmas Elves.
Three cardboard Christmas elves in a supermarket. They wear Santa hats and come with presents and candy canes. They have a hole where the face should be, presumably a child could supply a face to fill the emptiness.

A friend brought me a Piggy Bastard pie from Fat Bastard Pies in Invercargill. It arrived in time for lunch. It’s a pie with gravity and tasty bite.

Seven felt daisies now.
You are looking at seven felt daisies in a glass vase each of them a different colour: yellow, purple, brick red, mauve. How many more will I add before I’m done?

I didn't get to do this Advent model last year as I was out of my flat. I've set it up now in anticipation completing it ahead of #Matariki.
The Roger La Borde Advent model that I am doing ahead of Matariki celebration on 20 June. The bare model is a tall chair, made of thick card, designed to look like dark reddish wood. The base, standing on a kitchen bench is a disc decorated to look like a grassy glade. The pieces of the model will be added on each day ahead of Mataraki celebration.

Christmas is coming. Here is a nativity poem I wrote last year in activity time.
Christmas poem written on a image of a Christ child wrapped in a blanket on straw. The text reads as following: Enter the house Of the family of David In Bethlehem. Enter some distant cousins From Galilee. Even though she is pregnant There’s no room upstairs. The house is full of family. They are downstairs, Among the animals, And when she comes to give birth, Every woman of the household Who is worth her weight in salt, From the youngest to the oldest, Is down there, And every man who is sensible Has disappeared. Jesus is born announced by Wise women – Instead of angels.

It sounds like you are having to do some heavy lifting today - so here's a photo of Max. He's in from the rain and has already had first tea.
Max the white cat is resting his eyes on an old sheepskin dyed blue on top of the sofa. He is in a cat deep-state meditation.

Dunedin street life.
Nobody talks about the big seagull that’s nesting on Great King Street and I don’t know why.

A nice day in Dunedin - here's Max the White Cat's first photo posted on Busky.
I come home in the afternoon on a late spring day, and here's Max the White Cat, lying on the bed, his eyes part open to check What Am I Doing? His stomach is exposed - don't even think about giving him a tummy rub - you risk his claws!
