With visitors gone and the house sorted the February Jigsaw is out onto the table .
It's House of Puzzles again and another cheapie from ebay that I wanted to do (and yes I know about libraries and jigsaws but I wanted to do THIS one!)
Choosing a puzzle for me is a bit like choosing a book . Can't do any old puzzle same as I can't read just any book. Hence the problem when someone gives me a book saying " I've bought you a book because I know you like reading"..
And yes I realise that I'm just plain awkward!
Anyway, there was a nice surprise when I opened it, as the outside edge had been separated already - handy.

Oh I am so glad that someone else isn't necessarily delighted to be given a book! Twice recently people have given me books and wanted to discuss said book next time we met up and I really resented the time I had to spend reading something which wasn't "me".
ReplyDeleteI have a lent book like that beside my bed at the moment. Been there since November. If the owner asks I think I may say I will try and read it in Lent! And you are right about jigsaws , why spend time on the wrong picture?
ReplyDeleteYes I agree about both books and puzzles. My sister and I are both puzzle fans, her sister in law recently gave her around 30 that someone passed on to her but several, neither of us fancy doing. Yes, bonus having the edge pieces sorted out already.
ReplyDeleteI haven't joined book clubs when invited because life's too short to read books other people want to read, too many books, too little time.
ReplyDeleteSo good to have the outer edge of the jigsaw puzzle separate! I like the picture, lots of detail.

I joined a book club that many of my friends were already members of. I'm pleased to have books come my way which I wouldn't otherwise have considered... but quite often the choices are in the 'gritty, harrowing, hesrt-rending, thriller' category and I just read comfort books that month!
