Arty stayed over on Friday and stayed until tea time on Saturday, Jenny James and Oliver went to a football match, they do go quite regularly and Arty is not really into football so stays here when they do.
The weather was damp and horrible so we only went into town for a mooch round, he found a meccano set in a charity shop for £2, it was brand new and unopened, bargain, he came home happy with his find and Mark helped him put it together before he went home.
I'd been looking at Christmas jigsaw puzzles but didn't know if we'd complete it, all those pieces can make me feel a bit overwhelmed, but then I spied an advent calendar jigsaw in the same charity shop for £3, couldn't pass that up could I?
Inside the box was 24 little boxes 😊
I don't think It had ever been completed, or if it had they were very gentle with it.
My brain can cope with the small amount of pieces in these boxes (about 41 -ish) and you feel as though you have accomplished something.
We are playing catch-up but have done three days worth so far and Mark is working locally now until Christmas so I'm sure we will catch up in a couple more days.
Oh and the football, Villa won so everyone had a good day 😉

It's a very clever concept to have loads of tiny puzzles for the month, making the bigger picture. Well done with the Meccano, great bargain.
