This is the 1500-piece jigsaw puzzle I worked on through the winter months. I had the patience to do all that water and all those stone walls. I even enjoyed finding where the various pieces of windows and rooftiles went. But the sky proved to be my limit. It was just too frustrating for words to try to discern among the various slight differences in blues so I decided to call those empty spaces "clouds" and declare victory! The jigsaw is now in pieces again, in the box, and waiting to be taken to the Crieff Choral Group's Coffee Morning Jumble Sale in early May.
It's another coolish but sunny and dry day in Comrie. There has been a fair amount of cloud now and then but the sun usually manages to break through and most of the clouds are white ones.
Margaret came for another tutoring session this morning. We finished playing with paint and now she's away to do her homework until our next session which will be week after next. She's producing lots of nice samples and is enjoying her homework as well as our sessions.
Don's away to play golf this afternoon and I'm about to leave the house to walk to Helen Rae's where our book group meeting will be held. We're discussing The Invisible Woman about Charles Dickens' mistress, Nellie Ternan by Claire Tomalin. A very interesting book but packed with lots of historical detail that was sometimes hard-going. (We are all so used to reading novels.) Still, we learned a lot and I expect we'll have an interesting discussion today. I'm certain we'll never see Charles Dickens in the idealistic light we've always seen him in the past.
