Pears and plums

My mum is addicted to these puzzle books. I've no idea why. Doesn't even do the puzzles (well, she does, until she get's stuck!), just likes filling in the little boxes I think. Maybe I should get her to do my tax return?

My parents went to Turkey a few years ago and mum bought a Turkish version of one of these. Dad asked "why are you buying that, you can't speak Turkish?". Her answer: "it's okay, the answers are in the back of the book". ?????? Nutcase!
