Merry Christmas!!!
Yesterdayevening Sullivan, our owners and I finally were allowed to open the presents that we got!


Me and Beanies golden present.


Inside there was a lovely bag with flowers on it!


And inside the bag were lots of coins with a little eye, so you can attach them to something, and a real English penny!


Beside that, I got my own blanket! What a great gift!!! Thanx a lot Beanie!


I curled up in my own bag, on my own blanket, looking up at our Christmas tree...


And I wish you all a Ho Ho Ho X-mass!!! Thanx for the lovely card Hammie and G.!!!

A Christmas Present from Beanie

Hello Everybody!

Today there was a package for me in the mail!


Not only was my name on it, it also was featherpost!

It was a card and present from Beanie.


The present is for putting under the Christmas tree and I can not open it until Christmas. I wonder what's in it.

This is the card that Beanie send me. I think it's very beautiful.

Beanie put a Christmas greeting inside the card. I let my owner pin the card on the wall with our other Christmas cards so I can see it everyday.

The present is now under the tree together with the present that Beanie send to Sullivan.

Thank you Beanie! We hope to get you a Christmas present in time for Christmas too!

A package from Hammie

Hi everybody!
Long time no blog, but my owner has been very busy so no time to help me with my blog. But today there was a really cool package from Hammie so I just had to blog about that.

It was for me, Sullivan and our owners as one of us (I think it was Sullivan) had been the 1000th visitor to Hammie's blog.

We opened the package together with Angus and Domo. There was a card with the package that explained which of the things in the package were for each one of us.

This pig called Babs was one of the first things (or should I say: animals) that we saw when opening the package.

Look what I got!


It's a bird that gives light! Isn't that cool?!

Well, hello! What is that?
Hammie also send us a frog and it stuck it's tongue out to me.

We also got Sinterklaas candy: eggshaped Sinterklaas chocolate, ball shaped Zwarte Piet chocolate and multicoloured chocolate covered kruidnoten. Yum!

There were also balloons in the package and I got to play with this flower that Sullivan's owner made out of them.


Balloon art!


The red flower didn't stay attached to the green balloon, so I used the green balloon as a swing after that.

What a great package! Thanks Hammie!

Dalai Lama and some more random finds

Some new and some older pics.
"Elke dag, zon of regen, kom je leuke dingen tegen!"


This guy looks a bit like the Dalai Lama doesn't he?


Here I found a stick that was put in this concrete pole, in the middle of nowhere. I love such finds. :)


Hihi! A piggy-bank-piggy. For Sullivan. It looks so funny.


This is a lovely piece of street-art. I really like it. Why? Well... It is not in screaming colours, it is gone in a few months time (I think), it is simple, but it has quite a strong expression.


Here is this man again... Is it the Dalai Lama?...


And here is another buddhist monk. Wonder why they are stuck on these rainpipes...

Amazing Asian Items! And I found Hammie's art.

Today Sullivan, our owners and I went to a fun place called 'Amazing Oriental Warehouse'. All the stuff you need to make an oriental dish.
Here are some funny things I encountered.


They had these bottles with a bulldog on it. Funny picture. It was some kind of soy-bean sauce. Without dogs, I hope!


This one is really puzzling! It is a plastic mayonaise bottle (as you can see on the board under it) but it has a picture of a baby on it!? What is going on here? Do they make mayonaise out of babies, or do they use the sauce to rub on lil children? Weird...


Spam, spam, SPAM! Wunderful spam!. :D


I really like the sketchy bird on this mortar...


Look Hammie!!! I found the pic of this funny guy! Yaaaaay! But I still cannot find the ZOZ-buidling... Exiting picture hunt! ;D


On the same wall there were these pictures of musical women.


Funny!

I got mail! Again!!!

Look!
I got mail! Just like Sullivan.
Hammie and G. send me a postcard. A very nice one aswell!
With lots of pics from their hometown 'Stadskanaal' (Directly translated=> 'Citycanal', it is the canal made by or leading to 'Stad' (the city) and thats the name for Groningen in the 'Ommelanden' (the surrounding province).


Hmmm... Pictures!


Tada!!!


See!? It is mailed to ME! Coco... Hmmm... Thanx Hammie!

More stickers, an arrow, funny cat and a scary peep-hole...

Hi all!
Again some more stuff I want to show.


First there is this sticker of a winged-rocket-robot-guy! Very nice. He even has antennae! Looks happy.


And this one I found for you Eve, look! It's Emily! :D


One of the bicycle-pump stickers. It says: 'I ride, you pump'. Funny!


Another arrow. Indicating that one has to go that way... But the thing is, there was no other way! Typical oversigning. We love that in the Netherlands.


Ooh! Ooh! One of my favourites!!! Don't you just love this home-made sticker!? Sprayed and all. So cute... In a weird way... (is that a... oh well!) :D


To finish I show you this slightly creepy peep-hole. It sat in a very old door. With some little door behind the hole. Mysterious...

New stickers, stock-skulls, eyes (yes, again!), a leaf and tarmac

Today I got some blog-time! Here are some pictures I made earlier, but didn't have the time to post.


On this rainpipe I found a lovely skull sticker. Cool huh!? Somebody even cracked his dome! :D


More hidden treasure. Like the title from a Calvin and Hobbes comicbook "There is treasure everywhere". A funny looking animal-thingie-sticker!


Together with Sullivan I found this stock of skulls. This one has very large teeth!


Rodents galore! :D


In a small side-alley I found more eyes! So nice... Love them!!!


This leaf I saw when we were walking. It is almost gone, soon it will vanish. Beautiful.


And here is a pic of me testing some crispy fresh tarmac. Not that I like all the new roads people are creating everywhere, but I wanted to show the nice texture. And this was new tarmac on an old road. :)
