You should put him on a little mirror, then you'd see two of him :) He looks a bit like he's ice-skating - which made me think of a (snowy) Christmas landscape decoration mum made for me when I was little. A village with a church and a few houses and some tiny playdough figures. One or two of them were ice-skating on a little lake (a small mirror).
I think, Monica, that he probably is supposed to be ice-skating: it certainly looks like it. I've just realised that I only have two mirrors in the house: the long bedroom mirror and the bathroom one (firmly fixed to the wall). He would have a huge lake to skate on with the bedroom mirror!
He is a cute little fellow!! Simple is sometimes better. That's why this year I'm not putting up my big tree, just the small one I usually use in my foyer area.
We may be apart but when I look at the sky and remember that we are standing on the same earth, looking at the same moon, somehow you don't seem so far away after all.
Life
Life isn't about dawdling to the grave, arriving safely in an attractive, wrinkle-free body but rather an adventure that ends skidding in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, totally worn out, screaming "Yee-ha. What a ride!!"
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain. (With thanks to shabby girl of A Travelling Fish )
Feeling young is fabulous but growing old is a blessing!!! (A comment on this blog by Jaz of Treacy Travels.)
The trick to pushing 70, GB, is to push back -- hard!!! (A comment by Carol aka Canadian Chickadee)
Like a Godwit I migrate. I live in New Zealand during the Southern Hemisphere's Summer and I live in Scotland's Outer Hebrides in the Northern Hemisphere's Summer (See Eagleton Notes). In both places I also live in Blogland which, for me, is as real a life as any other.

Excellent....but don't overdo things.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to Christmas Adrian I like to push the boat out.
DeleteHe is delightful, but don't you think he needs a friend? I do :)
ReplyDeleteI like subtle understatement Jenny. Two would verge on clutter.
DeleteIf only my job was so easy in that respect! Mind you, this year I think it might be a lot less unless the kitchen's finished soon.
ReplyDeleteI could never do what you do for Christmas, CJ, I just can't work up the enthusiasm for that much disruption.
