In the works.
This is based on a Japanese print and it’s quite lovely. As I said yesterday, I’m working from the inside out this time. I truly love doing these puzzles. They quiet my mind. And that, my friends, is everything these days.
Our friend Adrian thought he was going to be able to go home for a while, but complications with a medication that is no longer working necessitate that he stay. His heart is failing and the doctors want him there in the hospital where they can monitor him. He was very disappointed. He misses the beach, which brings him peace. He misses his dog. He misses his house. His beloved wife is there with him as much as she can be. She is a rock.
So he most likely moves up on the transplant list.
We finished a series called High Water, based on a deadly flood in Poland that occurred in the late 90s. Beautifully done. It’s on Netflix, by the way. Tonight, we watch the season ender for All Creatures Great and Small on PBS.
Well…it’s been five minutes since I wrote that last sentence, and I have absolutely nothing more to say! So, let’s make this post short and sweet.
Stay safe.
Happy Sunday.
Barrie says
Claudia, that does look like a beautiful puzzle! It’s nice to have something that helps center you, as well as being artistic.
So sorry your friend has had a set back… it’s hard.
Claudia says
Very hard.
Stay safe, Barrie.
Kay+Nickel says
Thanks for the recommendation for High Water. There are so many things to watch but most don’t interest me.
Sorry about your friend.
Enjoy the puzzle.
Claudia says
Thanks, Kay.
Stay safe.

We started watching it last night and loved it. I can’t wait to see more.
Claudia says
Oh, good!

sorry that adrian’s had a setback. will keep praying for him and his family. would be nice if there would be a place they could let him spend time with his dog, too.
puzzle looks beautiful … and difficult. have fun!
glad you found some more shows to enjoy. for not having cable, weekend tv for me is very limited … mostly sports … so i skip it and try to get ahead on chores and gift-making. and water the plants i didn’t get to yesterday.
happy, easy and safe sunday to everyone.

Claudia says
Thanks, Kathy.

Prayers for your friend. So difficult. The puzzle looks too hard for me, but most of the ones you do are…you are amazing totally. Enjoy your lovely day with Don…
Claudia says
Thank you, Brenda.
Stay safe.
Sabina says
Can’t wait to see that puzzle finished, looks SO beautiful!
We have windy day today, great for headache :-(
I don’t like TV and I never watch it. I read a lot and do some crocheting…
Have a great day…
Claudia says
We don’t watch network tv at all. But we do take advantage of the many incredibly well done series from other countries that are being streamed on Netflix and Amazon Prime. They enrich our lives.
Stay safe, Sabina.
Ellen D. says
That looks like a very difficult puzzle with so many of the same color! You’re doing a great job on that. Sorry about your friend and hope he gets a heart soon.
I love All Creatures Great and Small and am looking forward to the show tonight…
Stay safe, Claudia!
Claudia says
We’re going to check in with Adrian later today, Ellen.
Stay safe.
Nora Mills says
So sorry about your friend Adrian. A new Partner of my longtime widowed friend is facing the spread of the lymphoma that they believed had been cured just a few months ago. Each day the news seems worse and worse. It’s good that you can stay in touch. On another subject, I love Don’s new song. May you be well
Claudia says
Thank you, Nora.
Stay safe.
Elaine in Toronto says
Oh, dear, troubling news about Adrian. Hope they move him up on the list. Saying prayers. Just realized All Creatures is on for 1 1/2 hours. Yeah! Enjoy. Hugs, Elaine
Claudia says
Thanks so much, Elaine.
Stay safe.
chris K in Wi says
So sorry to hear of the setback for your friend. It is so hard. I hope he gets moved up on the transplant list. I am lucky that I am only 6 blocks from home and hubs visits 2 or 3 times a day and brings the dog over at least every other day.
So looking forward to ACG&S tonight!!!! Take care.
Shanna says
Chris, I’m so glad your dog can visit! I really think that visits with our Emma did wonders for Fred when he was in rehab. I know that visits with my baby Calder helped me when I was in hospital many years ago. Best medicine ever. Be well.
chris K in Wi says
Yes, it is a very dog-friendly facility and those visits definitely do make a difference!! I am so thankful for all I have gained through my stay here, but, oh-so-ready to be going home!
Claudia says
Soon, Chris! Thursday, right?
Stay safe.
chris K in Wi says
YES!! The day we are predicted to have accumulating ice…. ugh. Only 6 blocks away, and I am hoping their forecast will be wrong (again). Take care.
maria dalessio says
Having a “mixed bag” of a day today too. Some sad news about a relative and some good news about my grandson….. I have had to play cheerleader to my spouse who is dealing with limitations due to an injury he aquired while trying to play a sport he had no business attempting. I had a long conversation with a friend who is contemplating a move from her home to a small condo…asking me advice NOW after the fact. I wish I could summon up the energy to do a puzzle or any thing. Today my glass is half empty. Thanks for listening.
Claudia says
Always here, Maria.
I well understand those kind of days. I’ve had a lot of them lately.
Stay safe.
Shanna says
I read on twitter yesterday that a new CB Strike manuscript has been finished by JKR/RG. Can’t wait. No idea how long it will take to become a book and be released. Meanwhile, we’ll enjoy the latest HBO version of Troubled Blood. I’m so taken with these actors that I don’t even try to imagine other versions of Strike and Robin.
Claudia says
Oh good! Can’t wait for another book in that series!
Stay safe, Shanna.
