"It's so cool," I think as I grab the jigsaw puzzle I started a few days ago, "When I pulled out all those yellow pieces yesterday, it looked like such a mess and now there is actual order."

Several loose pieces are still lying around in communal solitude, sure, but so many others have found their place or a few companions at least.

It's often like that with these kinds of puzzles - the ones with an overabundance of details and a busyness akin to a shopping street on the weekend. You pull the pieces of a certain colour and it looks like pure chaos. But then slowly you match them with each other, they find their dance partners, a picture emerges out of almost nothing.

And I think that's kind of beautiful.

Been making so much progress. So far I've pulled the greens, blues and yellows, and that one red jacket with a particular pattern. Blacks are next. (The rest of red is truly everywhere so wasn't a good choice to start with but maybe soon. Might also do them last.)

My mum was like, "you've done less than I expected" and like, what do you mean?? It's been an hour or two for four days, it's a 1000 piece puzzle and I don't have a box picture to go off of??

(Not that I would otherwise, haha. In fact, this kind of puzzle is one of the rare occasions when I do reference the picture on the box. Because it's not actually showing me what I'm puzzling. 😅)

International Day Of The Seal

International Day of the Seal takes place on March 22. It is a day set aside to raise awareness about seal conservation around the world. It’s also a day for us seal lovers to honor this amazing sea mammal. Seals are not only adorable and attractive, but their presence in the world today has a significant impact. They are also the most targeted marine mammal on the planet. These creatures are in danger of soon becoming extinct. Humans have always posed a significant threat to them, as people capture them for feed, blubber, or pelts. As a result, this day is observed to emphasize the importance of preserving their population.

History of International Day Of The Seal

This international holiday was established in 1982. Since then, the holiday has been observed yearly on March 22. The total number of seal species was already declining at the time. Seals were increasingly becoming victims of humans. This is because humans hunted seals for their pelts, blubber, and meat. To put an end to this brutality, the day was proclaimed the “Day of the Seal.” The United States Congress established the worldwide holiday to raise awareness among Americans about the plight of seals. They developed several projects to raise awareness about the importance of protecting seals.

A seal is classified as a pinniped, which means “fin-footed” in Latin. The walrus and sea lion are two other pinnipeds. Seals are distinct from other pinnipeds in that they do not walk with their flippers. They frequently move about on their bellies when on land. Their flippers assist them to move quickly in the water. Seals are also calmer and smaller than sea lions and walruses.

Seals are located around the north and south poles. They are preyed upon by predators and hunters. This has put their population at risk. This day was established to raise awareness about how they might be saved.

This day is observed all over the world. Although seals dwell in the Arctic Circle and Antarctica, millions of people around the world adore them, and so this holiday is observed globally.
