majuThe girls went back to school today for a very short 2-day school week.
It's a beautiful mild day, about 5°C/41°F, clear and sunny. If it wasn't for the twelve inches of snow covering everything it would look positively spring-like outside. I did enjoy going for a walk this morning, and I'm hoping walks will become more frequent now that we're getting into March. (I can't believe we're already two months into the year.)
I managed to get my puzzle finished this morning and send my daughter a photo. The other puzzle she gave me is 1000 pieces and I'm feeling a bit daunted about getting it started. I lashed out and bought myself some more 500 piece puzzles so I think I'll start one of those next. Before I can start on a bigger puzzle I need to ask my daughter to save some small plastic fruit boxes for me because those are great for sorting pieces into.
I've been watching a most excellent show on Britbox, "Twenty Twelve", a satirical mockumentary about a team of bureaucrats headed by Hugh Bonneville (of Downton Abbey) organising the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Sadly, I finished it today (it's a very short series) but I found another show with the same cast of characters in a show called "W1A", where they're now in charge of values at the BBC.

Interesting side note re: Twenty Twelve. The BBC was accused of plagiarizing an Australian series of the same nature called "The Games" https://www.theguardian.com/media/2011/mar/16/bbc-olympics-comedy-twenty-twelve

Date: 2026-02-26 08:46 pm (UTC)I think this year is going to just rip by. I am having the same problem with how quickly it's moving. How can it be getting to March already?
I don't think I've ever done a 1,000 piece puzzle. Working up to it sounds good.
The Brits are really good at the mockumentaries. I might have to see that.
