...Four calling (yellow) birds...

Ermm, it's still the 3rd day here (for another 5 minutes lol)
so...

THREE christmas cards..

FOUR candy canes - the ones my cats plucked from the lower reaches of the Christmas tree overnight.

On the fourth day of Christmas, my true luv sent to me:
FOUR fledgeling pheasants

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me..
Five Bloomin' Orchids

FIVE metres of superfluous tinsel.
Plus one cat who thinks there's no show without Punch!

What a sweetie

...Five plush puppies...

On the Sixth Day....
Six Brussels sprouts Yum!

SIX scoops of sorbet.

...Six pretty presents (on my wall hanging)...

According to FT time, I still have 20 minutes to post for day 5 lol:

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true luv gave to me:
FIVE golden bells

Thanks and sorry Jakaroo. I know that Canada time is later. Please post when you can.

LoL, nothing to be sorry about Ren! I was just panicking because Photobucket was not being the slightest bit cooperative the last two nights.

But while we're on the subject of time zones, there are 6 of them in Canada. SpanishLiz is two hours different from me. When I was a kid, there used to be a "joke" which went:

"The world will end at midnight. 12:30 in Newfoundland"


SpanishLiz: nice wallhanging! Did you make it?

Auntie: that cat has a very guilty look on its face.. "uh-oh, she caught me!" lol

Okay, going off to think about six something-or-others now ~

The wall hanging was a present a few years ago, I'm not handy with a needle and thread I've just been waiting until Ren posts to make it officially the 'next' day, assuming I already know what 'my true love' has given me...

Six bottles of perfume..

SpanishLiz: When my eyes were much much younger, I enjoyed cross stitch and petit point. Am quite hopeless with everything else.
The most "sewing" I do these days is quick mending jobs on my Singer.

Ren: forgot to mention how lovely those orchids are. My favourite "house plant" since they like to be ignored lol.

Zorba: what pretty bottles. Nice capture of the reflections of light too!

On the sixth day of Christmas...
SIX stained-glass windows

... SIX (times two) months of Betty ...

Ha!! Gatsby, what an awesome calendar! Betty White is the best.

This is fantastic.

Thanks Sue. Methinks Days 7 on will be challenging!

Arghhhhhhh! No photo from me today, or maybe later. I am having Photobuck probs.
I trust you all are not and can find some 7th Day phots. It is all going so well .

Let's try,
On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me

...seven juicy oranges




(I already have 8, 9 and 12 waiting, and ideas for the other two.)

Like Liz, I've got days 8 to 12 covered. A lot of the early stuff was too perishable
to wait, so what the heck! I did the lot.



SEVEN "Stars of Bethlehem".
A down-under name for Agapanthus or Nile Lily, because they're usually in full flower on Christmas Day.

On the seventh day of christmas I have a seven-piece place setting to show you:



Dinner plate, napkin, entrée plate, knife, fork, spoon and wine glass ... all that's missing is the food to go with it, and as we are having raclette (various salamis, bacon and other charcuterie grilled on a hot plate, accompanied by boiled potatoes smothered in cheese melted underneath the grill of the hot plate) tonight, it will be a case of each man for himself!!!

On the seventh day of Christmas..
SEVEN home-made butter tarts

(ummm, there WERE 12, but SOMEbody ate 5 of them before I could take a picture lol)


(they were a present from my boss. He's such a nice man, not only did he bake them, but gift wrapped them individually!)
