We bought a jigsaw puzzle in a charity shop and it was only when we got back to our caravan that I noticed scribbled on the back" 2 pieces missing!"
I'm wondering if I could go on the "Repair Shop" and make out that it is a family air loom so that they would make up the 2 missing pieces for me ?

Having breakfast mid-walk as always on a Saturday. Someone is sitting in my favoured window seat so I can't watch the carpark and laugh at people trying to park their huge SUVs.

Back home
Lovely clear blue skies
Chilly but no frost and rain
First cuppa brewing

My breakfast today was served on a square plate.

How much more exciting can life get?

Frost when I got up but the sunshine soon melted that off. Unfortunately the sunshine is not forecast to last long and by afternoon gales and rain starting.
Nothing planned but may go to the library.
I took a book last week by David Baladacchi and skimmed over the first chapter.
That was enough to convince me I was not going to bother reading any further. Should really have checked it before taking it out.
On the other hand I sometimes take books out purely to register some use of the place as the council would close it if it was not used enough and everybody would lose. The selection of books available is pretty dire and they now ignore any requests I make for books I might find interesting. The vast bulk of what is there is crime/romance fiction and I look more for non fiction travel type books. Having said that I like some fantasy ones like Terry Pratchett but the best ones of his are not there and never will be.

I'm sure I've read some of his stuff. I thought they were ok.

Up and I've my first time trial of this year later today. We'll see how that goes but it'll be chilly in a skinsuit

Don't remember reading any in the past but the image of this one is not encouraging.
All American war hero beats up and kills machine pistol armed would be assassins with his bare hands. Goes on to emotional visit to other war hero high commander and told to investigate a murder of a top CIA boffin daughter of another war hero.
Even for fiction it is all a bit much.

Good morning from Suffolk where there's been attempts at sunshine, most of which have failed so far. I had hoped to get moving a bit earlier than this, but the warmth & comfort of the bed have won out.

I have never seen Gaslight. I have also not seen any more than snippets/trailers for Star Wars.

I have never seen Star Wars either.

I've never been a huge film fanatic and probably haven't seen most of the "must see" classics.

Me neither but there have been enough people who've watched it multiple times to make up the numbers.

Aargh - more paperwork from the pensions people to be completed. Why couldn't they have checked this & asked for clarifications when i sent the stuff in back in January?

Cold start, washing hung out and expensive eye drops from Boots for one eye that keeps on watering. Another shelf price error in Waitrose, 8 yogurts £3, £4.40 at the till. Suspect the £3 offer had ended but still got £1.40 knocked off. My mobile started making a strange noise which distracted me long enough not to request a receipt. Just checked the cost and yes the Times was free, panic over.

It's to give you something to do in retirement.
