since 3rd March I'm busy building San Francisco in 1500 pieces.
I started with the frame, assembled the Golden Gate Bridge
and by now I have to find my way through loads of black and white pieces:
update 12th March
first detail completed
(completed 12th march)
+ together with my wonderful husband I try to find my way through
this stunning wooden jigsaw puzzle with loads of daffodils.
On top: assorted pieces
below: our success after 3 hours of 'trial and error'
(completed 10 March)
of course I had to think of this poem we once learnt in school:
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
(William Wordswort, 1770-1850)
