Default I\'m suspicious.

I think my other half is trying to prevent me from spending my desired amount of time at the boat.

She bought me a circular 500 peice double sided jigsaw for my birthday...I think she wants me in the house.

Be sure and do it on a glass topped table.

Be carefull on glass-topped tables. I knew a model who had to give up her career after falling through a glass-topped table and getting a scar on her bum. She did get over £4000 compensation. This was post -accident. I must admit I tried hard to hide the scar (its on the right cheek, low down.)

Sorry I've been studying that picture for over 15 minutes now and I still can't see any scar.
Good photography or low resolution?

Default Scar

I've found a pic which shows it better. It looks like an easy way to earn £4000 , but was quite traumatic at the time. She was doing a shoot for a "well-known" magazine group and sat unwisely on a glass topped table during a rest. That was OK until the photographer but his camera on the table a bit sharply and the glass shattered, dumping her on top of the glass on the floor.
This is not for titilation, it is a Health and Safety illustration
