peacock

There's something about peacocks that I'm drawn to - I suspect it's the seemingly impossible colouring. I have a fragmemy of a memory from a school trip as a child. I don't remember where we went but I do remember seeing an awesome strutting peacock.
The last of the four jigsaws (before I snaffle more up on sunday!) is one I knew would be hard. I'm actually not really enjoying it, it's too frustrating. But I find the feather colours mesmerising - it's as if the eyes on the feathers have a shimmering aura. Maybe I will frame it once I've done it (tho we all know I won't get 'round to that). My girly suggested taking it back and setting up a church jigsaw swap. I love her thinking, saves anyone having them unused on a shelf. But it's not something I want to take on.
Into work early today, quite a bit of making up of time to do. Ive spent more time this week than usual doing relaxing things like reading and jigsaws. I feel far from relaxed tho. hoping to have a gentle weekend!
