I’ve been having a very restful break with possibly the most strenuous activity this past fortnight being standing for hours over this jigsaw puzzle.
There were times I didn’t think this puzzle would ever get completed. Thankfully M got involved. For someone who doesn’t consider that he enjoys jigsaw puzzles, he displayed a surprising amount of patience and persistence. This puzzle is unlike more traditional puzzles, in that the picture you are given on the box depicts the group of people face on. The completed puzzle itself depicts what the people are meant to be looking at.
I always wanted to title a post ‘Chihuahuarama’.
Stopped in at the South of the River Save the Children Booksale on Thursday night. We weren’t there for long but I still managed to pick up 33 books.
The picture shows 29 of them.
Finds:
- Four of Doris Lessing’s Children of Violence series. At 50 cents each they were a bargain. The paperbacks aren’t in the best condition, but I now have the complete series.
- The blind assassin by Margaret Atwood. Have wanted to read this for a while. In fact, there are a number of books in this pile that I have wanted to read for a while.
- On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan. Hard cover edition for $1.00!
- 1984 edition of Kamus Dewan. Malay language dictionary. $4.00.
