After I finished the Christmas Advent Puzzle, I sat down on the lounge floor and proceeded to put each puzzle back in it's little plastic bag.
That went just fine, they were all back in the bags, and into the box.
Then I stood up.
ABOVE: OH BUGGER!!! There was one puzzle piece under my leg. Which bag did it belong in?
Like, there's 1,296 puzzle pieces, and they are not numbered or identified as to which puzzle they belonged to.
So yesterday I sat down and started counting how many puzzle pieces were in each puzzle.
Luckily, they were all the same, 54 pieces. So, I start counting puzzle pieces, one bag at a time.
I had counted out about 9 before I found THE ONE that only had 53 pieces. I put that puzzle back together and YES! The piece from the floor was the one that belonged to that puzzle.
SORTED. I can now give it away knowing all the pieces are there, and in the correct bag. PHEW.
Ahhh Saturday. Means grocery shopping. Odd jobs around the house and yard. If it's sunny... a relax on my sun lounger at some point. We might just start hanging out on the patio, have lunch out there, maybe a sneaky beer (for him) and a glass of bubbles for me.
It's starting to feel like summer.
And in case I didn't say it yesterday, I am only 305 grams away from a milestone weight. I am so excited...
ONWARD...
10.10 am, and Stew has done the grocery shopping. And then he decided it was a good time for a walk, before it got too hot.
We had a thick fog first thing this morning, but it has burnt off now.
ABOVE: A gorgeous day down by the river.
ABOVE: We are so thankful to live so very close to all of this.
ABOVE: The walk is a very pleasant distance, not too long or short.
Now that we are home, I've got a fan blowing on me because I stupidly went walking in long tights and a sweatshirt. Derrr.
3.08 pm. Stew and I went out to the Hamilton Cemetery so he could tend his family grave, then we went to The Lookout for lunch. I had some delicious food, my one 'evil' meal a week.
Home, and I lazed away a couple of hours lying on the couch, just in a food coma really ππ .
Now? Might just continue the laziness, and watch TV, do a jigsaw online bla bla bla.
It's 11.59, it's been a quiet evening. Time for bed.
Catch ya tomorrow.








I am so glad that you don't take all the beauty for granted! It really is gorgeous. The water is smooth as glass, it's hard to believe it's a river with MOVING water!
ReplyDeleteThat walk and the pics are stunning.

Been mental heat here today in Ashburton biggest problem is keeping hydrated. Got in car after my class today at the library and oh my God the car was so hot. Nearly collapsed from the heat so sitting in the lounge with air conditioning and fan on so not looking forward to the summer ick ick ick
ReplyDeleteI don't like putting puzzles together. Don't know why. It just doesn't appeal to me, I guess. Maybe it's the fear of what happened to you will happen to me and I would NOT sit there and open each bag and count etc. I am too antsy... But, I admire your persistence. Amazing.
