The trouble with . . .

jigsaws is that I become obsessed. I started a 1,000 piece one yesterday and have completed three-quarters of it. It's called Sweets of the 60s, but doesn't include the Mars bar. It does however feature a Marathon bar. So I checked: Marathon was indeed introduced in 1968 but Mars bars came into being in 1932!

Things you learn from jigsaws. I would have put Marathon in the 70s.

Lovely walk with Daughter today. I arrived at her house in my cardi accompanied by drops of rain. "Is it going to rain?" Daughter said.

"Nah, it'll be fine," said I, looking anxiously at the sky. Just before I left the house Husband had kindly told me there was a 38% chance of rain, but who believes weather forecasts anyway?

By the time we got to the beach, it was warm and sunny. Cardi off.

Walking back around the cliffs it was very windy. Cardi on. 

Cutting back through the village it was warm. Cardi off.

I can't remember where my cardi was by the time we got back.

Husband has tinnitus, a constant ringing in his ears. I seem to have developed Big Bennitis, an occasional bonging in my ear. It's a good job I'm seeing the audiologist next week.
