Jul. 28th, 2025 08:09 amJuly 28. Jigsaws were invented in the mid-18th century by a cartographer called John Spilsbury, who thought that mounting a map on wood and cutting it into interlocking shapes would make an informative game for children and students. When was the last time you made a jigsaw (how many pieces did it have)?
It has been a few years. We did one during the holidays in 2020 or 2021 and I have another to do, but things got crazy with K being gone all of the time, so we did not get around to it yet. Maybe this year. The last one we did was 1000 pieces, which is about all I have patience for.
August 6. Would you rather go on a city break, a seaside holiday or have a staycation?
Since we live in a small town, I would rather go to a city. In fact that is what we are doing later this week. Neither of us are beach people, maybe for a day or two, but not more than that, unless it is Hawaii where there are adventure things as well. Staycations sound good in theory, but I think you end of working around the house and not relaxing/doing anything different.
