In the early evening, while looking for something else, we come across an old jigsaw that once belonged to Auo. It has remained in an almost completely finished state.

I sit down and assemble the remaining pieces, to discover that four have got lost. I hunt around but cannot find them anywhere.

The jigsaw shows the state of Barbie’s lived environment ten years or so ago. I suspect that cultural changes during the last decade would mean that in today’s jigsaw Barbie and her chums would all have jobs or non-gender-specific equipment to hand.

The slightly obscured title of the jigsaw: Happy Family Day.
