N+7 poem

I woke up this morning with a jingle in my head:

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat
Please put a penny in the old man’s hat
If you haven’t got a penny, then a ha’penny will do
If you haven’t got a ha’penny, then God bless you!

So of course that was what I used for today’s TDCN+7 gave me:

City is coming, the grandfather is getting feather
Please put a person in the old map’s headquarters
If you haven’t got a person, then a ha’penny wire do
If you haven’t got a ha’penny, then Gossip bless you!

I noticed that the generator was not recognising ‘ha’penny as a noun, and it didn’t recognise halfpenny either, so I redid it with ‘half penny’

City is coming, the grandfather is getting feather
Please put a person in the old map’s headquarters
If you haven’t got a person, then a handkerchief person wire do
If you haven’t got a handkerchief person, then Gossip bless you!

On a cloudy day
Still, there are moments of light
Birds sing, and I smile

Little Miss Jigsaw

Today’s TDC asks us to:

Find a suitable image. Now cut it up into several pieces (16-32 is a good range). Now rearrange those pieces to form a different image. Bonus points if you go beyond squares and triangles.

I decided to make a jigsaw, so I searched for a free, online jigsaw maker. I uploaded my mastodon profile pic and followed the instructions. You can solve it for yourself here.

I found a map of Earthsea, and added a wizard
