### 3/5 — Fun but disappointing

*2020-07-05*

These puzzles are fun to do and I enjoy working out how the numbers join up. Sadly the poor quality of the finished pictures spoil the sense of achievement when a picture is completed. And the proverbs are just daft. Most of them don’t make any sense or I’m puzzling to see how they link with the picture.
