Father Christmas. Was there a definite point for most of us, or just a
gradual awareness"
Looking at the sales figures this last year for jigsaw puzzles, it apparently has doubled. From baby puzzles to a 100 year olds puzzles. I think they will go on forever.

On recent trips have been to Albert Hall for classical music, Nottingham classical music, opera and Jersey Boys, Biirmingham for Rocky Horror and Woverhampton Cats,
Am in a book club and like hiding up my tree (family history).
Pat 🙂
I have seen The Mousetrap in London a few years ago. Interesting and when you’ve seen it you become part of the club to keep the ending secret.
Not particularly into classical music unless it is one of the popular ones but have seen the other three you mention and loved them all.
I am not in a book club but often toy with the idea. I’m reading Michael Faber’s The Crimson petal at the moment but finding it heavy going. I always need something to be on the go, though.
I’m just recovering from Joe Wick’s morning exercise - I do adapt them for me or else I’d probably drop dead through the effort needed but when I went into lockdown I set a goal for myself that I was not going to come out of it having to find myselfagainunderneathall the weight I’d put on.
How are you managing to keep occupied during lockdown?
Take care and stay safe. Kind regards.
The book club I belong to is different to most. We don't have a book we must read each month. We read what we like then tell everyone at our monthly meetings our views on the books. It means that you hear about books you'd wouldn't normally, it can inspire you to try a new author. I'm the black sheep of the group. The others are all arts based and I'm science based so I veer away from their choices. I like who done it's but not gory, more Miss Marple type. At the moment I'm reading (I downloaded both of these months ago so they are not related to now) a Daniel Defoe - his take on living through the plague in 1665 and then a book by Rachel Rideal, 1666 Plague, War and Hellfire. I liked the idea of looking at the plague from someone present at the time with the knowledge of the era and afterwards a look back from a modern point of view.
History I love and I'm often up a tree - my family history tree 🙂 and I've done quite a bit during lock down.
I love all sorts of music which goes from the classics to Meatloaf and lots in between. 🙂 Good music is just that whatever category it has been placed in.
I walk our dog for my exercise, she walked in here an abandoned puppy at only a few weeks old and she'll be 5 the end of next month - estimate from the vet when we first had her. She's a blonde lab/pointer cross with a smaller breed in there as she's only about two thirds lab or pointer size. When we first got her think Andrex blonde pup with long ears and lots of spare skin.
I no longer play sport but watch quite a bit - my husband doesn't though :).
Best wishes
Pat
