Hello, Epic Furiends!

HAPPY EASTER TUESDAY!


Welcome to another furbulous Brain Training sesh on the blog, and as it's Easter, mew know where I'm going with this! MOL

And here's my epically epic throwback from July 2017, and this was when the P.A. decided to make us the infamous Pom Pom hammock, where she glued every single pom pom on one at a time, there were 800 - here go check it out if mew don't believe me! MOL

Behind the cat is a cosy craft workspace filled with shelves of jars, baskets, and art supplies.

What a day that was!

      Thank mew kindly, I’m delighted mew enjoyed this week’s puzzles. Excellent division of labour too, Ivor tackling the Sudoku and mew taking on the wordsearch, that’s what I call a purrfectly balanced brain‑training team.

      And thank mew for the lovely words about the flashback photo and art. The P.A. still mutters about that pom‑pom hammock to this day... eight hundred pom‑poms glued on one at a time. A true test of human endurance and sanity! MOL

      Hope mew both have fun with this week’s challenges. Keep those little grey cells in tip‑top condition... 🧩🐾✨

      Thank mew so much, Sandee... there’s nothing like a bit of Easter brain training to keep everypawdy sharp. I hope mew have a fabulous time with the puzzle, it took me nearly nine minutes, but I blame the P.A. for distracting me with talk of chocolate eggs... MOL

      Thank mew so much, Leah... and mew’re not wrong, that pom‑pom hammock was one of the P.A.’s most epically ambitious projects. Eight hundred pom‑poms glued on one at a time. I snoopervised the entire opurration from my comfy chair, naturally, while the P.A. slowly questioned all her life choices... MOL

      But it did turn out fabulously fluffy in the end. A true triumph of craft‑based endurance. 🐾🎨✨
