Having spent almost all of yesterday on this I only had to finish the sky today. (I needed daylight.)
* * * * *
Truly, Madly, Deeply, the diaries of Alan Rickman, was a disappointment. You'd need to be a lovey or someone cognisant of the theatre scene, places and people, to get all the references and most of it is references. Also it's written in a - hm, not short-hand exactly but staccato style. And giving away very little about the man. I didn't finish it.

Too bad about Alan Rickman's disappointing diaries.
I'm not very surprised about Rickman. I rarely find theater people interesting off the stage. Often much name dropping. I was not much interested in Diana Athill, after a couple of chapters, same reasoning, only the world of publishing, but her written style is very good. Just the content not so much!
More and more celebs think they can make a quick buck by publishing a book, but the result is usually pretty dire. I steer away from them towards serious professional writers.
That's quite an intricate puzzle. I thought I might like Rickman's book. Now I have my doubts and will not spend money on it.
Love,
Janie

wow, well done with the jigsaw. I have a lovely Christmas one which I intended to do but keep forgetting!! Happy New Year.
Nothing like doing a good 1,000 piece jigsaw. I like that one and I did a very similar one but with a picture of New York. Looks like it may have been by the same artist.
