I struggled for much of the weekend and so wisely chose to do a jigsaw on Sunday afternoon. Last week I checked out all the local charity shops for stocking presents and as well as a find for each of my kids I saw a jigsaw for a pound, which turned out to be a great treat when feeling miserable. I'm not sure why it appeals so much, I have just checked and I mention doing jigsaws quite a lot in my blog. Is it because unlike life generally in a jigsaw I can find where something fits, it's predictable and manageable and the end is in sight. So when life doesn't feel like that, it's nice to immerse myself in producing something that feels more possible. That and I just love colours and you have to look intently at the shading to match pieces.
I also got to watch the lion king which I've never done before, despite my love of kids films. And before you think it was a lazy day, I'm pleased to report I finally got round to doing the final mow of the year, which as I've left it so late had to be preceded by raking. I like raking tho, a fab activity to delay the need for putting the heating on as its very warming. I've left the rake out in the hope I will do more this week. Tho I'm not actually at home in the light much this week, which us problematic not least cos we need the table next Saturday so when exactly am I going to complete the jigsaw??
