Pretty one

 

John gave me a Wentworth wooden puzzle for Christmas. We've collected several over the years and they are the type of puzzles you can do over and over.  

Made in England with little whimsy pieces that match the themes. I'm slow at puzzles (compared to him) so he likes to look over my shoulder sniggering because I can't see the pieces right in front of me. 

I told him go away. It's not nice to make fun of people not as smart as you! So I finally finished it in peace yesterday afternoon. Thank goodness for puzzles, embroidery and reading. And naps. 

This week always feels like some sort of time vortex. Christmas is over but nothing feels back to normal yet. The decorations are still up and the chore of getting everything packed away looms. As does the new year, with all the uncertainly that comes with the unknown.
