Double Rainbow
Photo-A-Day #4133

I got to work tonight and everyone was looking out the windows at a huge double rainbow. It hadn’t rained much around work but in the outlying areas there were people who got downpours. I tried to capture the whole thing but it was just too big and it didn’t look great through the windows.

I started watching The Last Kingdom today on Netflix. This is a show that was on BBC and is based on The Saxon Stories books by Bernard Cornwell. I have read some Bernard Cornwell books about King Arthur and so I was interested in this series. The show is pretty well done. First season is on Netflix now with 8 episodes and apparently the second season has Netflix co-producing. I like that. I watched the first two episodes so far and it is an enjoyable show. It makes me want to read the books, too.

I did not sleep very well. I kept waking up over and over. I’d have thought that I would have slept great with a quiet house but that was not the case. When I woke up I opened another box that I received this week and also a game that I have been meaning to review. You can catch that on today’s vlog.

Puzzle Power


Photo-A-Day #3314

I had such a successful afternoon making puzzles with Andrew today. After last week where I was so frustrated with the kid he goes and turns things around complete on me and we have a fantastic time making a Toy Story Puzzle. I try and help him with tips on how to find pieces that go together. Tips like, look for the eyes of this character, those will be pieces that go together, can you find the eyes. Since he knows what eyes are and he can figure out pieces with eyes that is a good place to start. He isn’t quite understanding the whole, smooth sides go on the outside concept be he is doing really well at puzzle building.
