After a few days of being sick and doing nothing, I went to join Lisa in Crows Nest for an excellent afternoon and evening of chatting and food.
We got takeaway Thai from Team Thai on the main strip in Crows Nest.
Fresh veges just waiting for me.

Mmmmm veges and fried rice. My fave Thai food.
Cute cute kitty watching trains.

The girls came to stay with us in Chatswood. We took them to a park for an afternoon snuffle.

I’m learning how to make my own videos. This is my first attempt. Kahlua and Buffy playing with their bee toys on Xmas day.
I love Christmas. I love having family together, spending time with my puppies and presents 🙂
Christmas this year was at my parents’ house. Alec, Jan and his Uncle Alec came over for lunch, so we had a large family get together for the day.

It’s pug Friday!
Check out this pug who was terrorised in his own home by a peacock. Poor little fella!
I had a delightful dinner at Wedgetail restaurant in Newtown. It was quite hard to find, nicely tucked away behind trees in Newtown Square, across the road from Newtown Station.
I met my old girlfriends from school there for our annual Xmas dinner. I had found a review in the Good Food Guide, which listed it as the best pizza in Newtown. Big call. I had to try it for myself to be the judge.
We decided to share several dishes, including a mushroom bruscetta, haloumi salad and large pizzas. I had a vegetarian one with goats cheese, parmesan and tomato. We also all had desserts – mine was a lemon tart with roast peach, some kind of gelato and peach granita. Delicious! It was also pretty cheap – ended up being $30 each.
The discrete front.
Dog statue out the front. I love how pro-dog the area is. I saw several cuties being walked while I was there, and one adorable little fella who wandered into the restaurant to say hi while his owner waited outside, calling him to come back out.
After the secret Santa present opening and feasting had taken place, we posed for a group photo. Merry Christmas girls! Thanks for a great night 🙂
I took these pics of my beautiful babies yesterday.
The eternal question – why squish yourself into a bowl?
Life’s not that bad kitty-cat!
I am in LOVE with this new season Mimco bag. Sigh! Maybe next year … 🙂
