@sainsburys.bsky.social Thank you for the puzzle included with my bottle of whisky. It was fun. I'd appreciate it if the puzzle could be sold separately, though, otherwise it creates the wrong impression when you give someone a gift. Wishing you a splendid Xmas.

I am currently trapped. My daughter has explained to me that I can't go in the living room because there's a pterodactyl sleeping in there. I'm really torn about what to do. What if she's right?
