Correct?
After 1 week of staring at the jigsaw puzzle, I think this may be the answer. All Mickey's friends are playing a musical instrument except for Donald Duck. He is blowing air through a straw into a glass of liquid he is holding in his hands/wings and I can just slightly see the bubbles coming out from the glass. So do you think this is the mistake?

What mistake?
Jennifer's post entitled "I love jigsaw puzzles" jogged my memory that I have a similar jigsaw puzzle (undone) lying somewhere in the house. After searching for a while, I finally found the puzzle that I bought 3 years ago. Without further ado, I started putting the pieces together.
As with the usual practice, I put together the border first. To make it a bit more difficult, I only looked at the picture on the cover of the box once and then proceed to put the pieces together without referring to the picture again.
When I reached this stage, it was getting harder and harder to find the right piece as each small piece contains a variety of colours so without referring to the complete picture, it was difficult to know which piece goes where but yet I persisted to do it without referring to the picture again.
Finally I did it! The key to putting the puzzle together without referring to the picture again is to group the pieces that have roughly the same colours together and then assemble the pieces by their groups.
Maybe I should complete a black and white jigsaw puzzle this way which should be very difficult. Or maybe I should ask my spouse to get me a jigsaw puzzle and let me try putting it together without me knowing what picture is at all. The latter should be more difficult. But more fun!
For this puzzle, I am supposed to find the mistake but after scrutinising it for hours, I still couldn't figure out what the mistake is. What mistake?!

Sugar
The mini desserts looked so delicious that I succumbed to temptation and took one of each. Needless to say, they were sweet so I did not like them that much. Luckily I had two other persons sharing the food with me. Between the three of us, we managed to finish the whole lot and did not waste a morsel.
Lesson learned: never judge a dessert by its looks.

A pink lady
As pink is one of my favourite colours after red, I couldn't resist taking a photo of this car when I saw it. Even the rims are pink. The colour is so striking. The car really stood out among the other cars in the car park. I did not stay to find out who the driver is. Would you paint your car pink? Perhaps pink deters car thieves.

Reusing bottles
Lately I need to protect my toothbrush from house lizards / house geckos. I did not want to buy a toothbrush holder with a cover so I looked around my house to find materials that I could use to make one. In the end, I made one using two PET bottles and the lid of a small container.
I started off with two PET bottles (only one bottle is shown in the photo below), a small container and a scissors.
Cut each bottle into 2 parts. I only need the bottom part. Then cut a hole in the middle of the lid of the small container.
Result: a toothbrush holder with a cover. The lid of the small container holds the toothbrush in place inside the bottom part of the 1st bottle. The bottom part of the 2nd bottle acts as the cover.

2 & 2
I went to the following fiesta and saw 4 hot air balloons. The day was sunny and hot but it was cool and windy under the shady trees, just right for a nice walk. A good long healthy walk. Ended the day feeling tired but happy.

1 & 1 only
This is the only soft toy that I have ever owned. When I was a child, I do have toys but not soft toys. I just don't fancy them. Then one day after a movie with my boyfriend (now husband), I saw this bear and felt that it looked like him so he bought it for me. And that was 20 years ago. This bear is still with me now because I couldn't bear to throw it away. I am such a sentimental fool person.
