When after a few weeks of rain you go out and buy a puzzle to put together.

Bonus added when the pic of said puzzle has a dragon and a unicorn

That's very cute.

My puzzle is different, it's one of those pics with a fairy or a princess in middle of the woods, with a dragon and a unicorn, and there is flowers, and butterflies, and leaves on the ground, and sun shinning from behind the trees.
So far I got the butterflies done, which means only 1400+ pieces are left.

Sidney didn't like it though. He may be independent but he reacted like a house cat. I have the thing on a cloth dryer with a cardboard on top in the middle of the living room and last night when he came in he just stopped staring at the arrangement with a unpleased expression of "what on earth is that thing doing there, in middle of my way to the food"

You're watching the 60th anniversary special of a popular British TV programme and realise a leading character first made an appearance fifteen years ago. That can't be right...
