Flew home today and just got in the house. It’s so cold back here.

[Livia]

Catching up on yesterday's Traitors. Celia...LOL... timing is everything.

[Kate!]

I'm on my way home. Quite tired.

[Jessica.]

Woke up at 4, couldn't get back to sleep
Got up and did breakfast, took care of the cats etc..
Had a short nap
Did lunch
Now going to start packing for my trip
Hoping to go for a nice long walk in the evening if I'm not too tired. The rain is starting at the weekend

[Gusto Brunt]

I made a model of a man lying on a bed. I did it when I was 18, and I had it until recently. That's 25 years.

Today, it suddenly dawned on me it wasn't there and I couldn't find it. Been looking everywhere.

I have had guests over the last two weeks and I think someone's nicked it.

Today’s activity as it’s cold and gloomy.

…is that a jigsaw puzzle…?…I did one a little while ago and when I got to near completion, I could see there was bits missing..(…the box had been sealed etc…)…anyway, there was actually three bits missing in the end and I had to email them and plead for those bits because it was upsetting me too much and I couldn’t just think, oh well/nevermind…they sent me a whole new jigsaw, so rather than just add the three bits…?…I would have to do the whole thing again…(…which I haven't yet…)…it’s like three bits of my life forever missing…</3…

Booked a couple of holidays for next year. Greece for three weeks and then a week away in the Lake District.

Looking at Thailand in the new year too potentially.

The word yet is very big in this story. Are you really going to do the whole thing again?

Oh, that would infuriate me. We seem to have 6 corner pieces for this puzzle.

[Benjamin]

I’ve worked out why we had more corner pieces (8 now). My OH didn’t realise the 2 bags in the box were separate puzzles and poured them all out. Now we’re doing two puzzles .

That encapsulates so much about modern life in just this one instance.

…ahhhhh, you have a love of Greece, don’t you…so many beautiful areas……I think that we’re going to be planning a Lake District visit as well next year so I’ll see you there……

[Ammi]

… @Glenn … no, maybe one day but right now…I can’t bring myself to do it again…it was a seriously upsetting time…

…OMG, the looney…I imagine that you both laughed as you threw sharp things at him…that’s giving me anxiety, just the thought…

…I don’t know if you mean, preparing Sunday lunch for today or that you had it yesterday but enjoy/if you haven’t had it yet…

Honestly, it sucked the fun out of it at first when we realised hahaha. They’re a thousand pieces each. So needless to say this is going to be an evening activity for a while lol.

The people, the food. All exceptional.

We’re off to the Lake District in August

…I think that I would just take a breath, put it all back in the box and start a new puzzle….it would just make me sob to know where to begin…I mean, the edge bits would all be doable quite easily for both but after that…are the colour variations/schemes etc similar for both…can you separate many pieces apart by colours…?…

…for the last few years since mom passed, we re-visit somewhere that holds childhood memories/significant time…with my brother, that is…there are two possibilities for next year that aren’t fixed yet but Lake District is one of them…I actually think that when I visited as a child, it was August also…and it was two weeks of August rain……but I still loved it, it holds so many memories/nostalgia…

The puzzles are the picture on the box and also what somebody in that puzzle is seeing. So a lot of the pieces will be similar.
