Friday night we watched The Last Samurai, which we'd last seen in 2012.
Saturday morning was just houseworkey stuff.
In the afternoon we headed out to the club. G&A did a great pork roast for dinner. Later there was epic Jenga which I didn't lose at :)
Going back a step. The other week I saw this in the window of Games Capital:
OMFG!!!
I totally want one! The price was obscured, but it looked like $500. Given that I paid $385 for the Life jigsaw (24000 pieces), this didn't seem unreasonable.
So anyway. Stu said I could get it if i could clear enough space in the dungeon to do it down there. So guess what I spent a couple of hours Sunday afternoon doing? I should have taken some before and after photos, it made a huge difference.
In the evening we got pizza and watched Short Circuit (getting through movies I've bought on DVD but haven't watched - this one I'd bought in 2004).
!!
Whoops.
So Monday morning I called the Games Capital to check if they still had the jigsaw in stock, and if so how much it was. Yes they said. $1500 they said.
Fricken. OUCH.
That's like $150 for each of the 4000 piece sections. Which, considering we paid $150 for the piece of crap 5000 colours jigsaw (which was appalling in quality and was even missing a piece! I've yet to rant about that here), is not *completely* ridiculous, but still...
Anyway, so I had a sad on Monday morning. We finished stacking Stu's books (badly) into shelves, clearing the floor and a table. I set up the tv (which we hadn't even plugged in since we replaced the upstairs one like a year and a half ago) and set myself up with a jigsaw and did that for a while in the afternoon.
I could get used to three day weekends.

I don't think I've ever spent more than US$40 for a puzzle and that felt ridiculous.
