Pieces well placed.

 I may not have done much knitting recently—and no sewing at all—but life hasn’t been all work and sleep. Tony and I have completed not one, but two jigsaw puzzles this week. The Hawker Hurricane Warbirds you’ve seen before, in progress. Here it is, finished at last. Getting the sea and sky done was a bit of a mission but done it is.

That was Tuesday, on Wednesday, three nights ago, Tony pulled the Kiwi Road Trip out of the cupboard, and we made a start. I finished it this evening. To be honest, it’s only 500 extra-large pieces and a joy to put together, with lots of little details that made things easy peasy.


Two puzzle completions in four days—wow! Since Tony chose the last two, I think it’s my turn next. I’ll let you know which one I pick. It’s my weekend off work, and I’m taking it. No phone calls. Well, there shouldn’t be. And if there is, the answer will be NO.
Tomorrow, Tony and I are heading up to Lake Heron for a special anniversary outing—a look around, a picnic, and a walkabout. I'll be taking photos. We’ll come home later and go out for tea. A lovely way to mark the day we became Mr and Mrs Heron.
Maybe Sunday I’ll manage a little knitting.
I do hope that your weekend is as relaxed as mine is planned to be.

Love the puzzles Lou - I rather like 500 piece ones. I find them not as daunting as the 1000 piece. Happy Anniversary to you both - enjoy your weekend.
