If you want to take your mind off all the bad things going on in this country and around the world for a period, may I suggest doing a Gustav Klimt jigsaw puzzle. It’s especially mind focussing when you discover you missed a yellow edge piece, during initial separating. 😁
Image shows two pieces of wood panels covered in jigsaw pieces. It’s a 1000 piece puzzle of a Gustav Klimt painting called Lady in Gold. It’s is a portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, completed in 1907.

Doing two house/pets sits at the same time , plus trying to finish a jigsaw that’s proving tortuous. So much blue, so little patience from me😂

Sometimes exploring the rock pools of a beach is just as much fun as playing in the water. Mooloolaba Beach at low tide, delivering holiday fun.

A nice trip to Yandina markets this morning to replenish vege supplies. Lemon and lime “seconds” at $3 for 10. Great bargain. Just 3 and a half lemons gives me 14 lemon ice blocks. Is there as rule about what time is gin o’clock?

The image also shows some lemons and limes sitting on the stone bench, but intact and not cut up. Also shown is a sieve and a glass juicer

If you can’t sleep, I recommend doing jigsaw puzzles!
Finished this one at 01:20 this morning. Started Friday night. 1000 pieces
Jigsaw puzzle pieces spread out on a wooden table Jigsaw puzzle pieces with the edge of the puzzle completed on a piece of thin board. Completed jigsaw on a wooden board sitting on a table. The puzzle is 1000 pieces, and it is of an antique map of the world. The map was done by Pieter van den Keere in 1607.

Spent my birthday here today, reminiscing about many happy days as a teenager. My Dad grew up here in the early 1900’s and his ashes are spread here. It also resulted in enjoying a feed of Blue Cod 🥰
The Marlborough Sounds in NZ are a wonderful place to visit. Cousins own the houses on the hill.

Camera doesn’t do it justice, but the reflection of the moon off the ocean tonight in Mooloolaba is fabulous. Follow down the right edge of the bldg and you can see the shimmer.
