Oops?

This was written several hours ago and I forgot to post it when I finally had wifi. I blame the ridiculously hot weather and lack of AC in Dad's car that resulted in me being to sticky and overheated to think about it.

And so, this is what you nearly missed:


Driving back from Hay on Wye after a lovely two days. We hit three more bookshops this morning before declaring ourselves bookshoppped out :-) I managed only to buy four more books for less than £10, including an Anglo Saxon Chronicle that I'm particularly pleased with.

My book buying is eclectic.

My parents also bought themselves a puzzle and a puzzle roll and Mum and I have plans to reverse engineer a puzzle roll for me so that I can do puzzles in Canada without kitten-shaped interference.

I'll do the full roundup of books when I can lay them all out. Suffice to say, I found almost everything on my list plus a few things.

Our journey home just got broken for a nice reviving cup of tea. I may also have taken the opportunity to have a scone with cream and jam for the second time in two days :-)

Canada just doesn't have the right type of cream.

Tomorrow is a rest day. Er. I'll have to take a trip into town to buy dress trousers and I'm also planning a trip to the local second hand bookshop to say hi to the nice ladies and check their childrens' stock. But that's mostly restful, right?

The easiest way to make a puzzle roll is to find a thick cardboard tube, buy a large sheet of felt to match then sew up a few Velcro straps to hold it together. Do the puzzle on the felt then use the tube to roll the felt around so you don't squash the pieces. I want to say Lex has made one in the past if you have questions :)
