Tuesday

Good morning!  The sun is shining and doors and windows are open wide to get as much fresh air as possible before I need to close the blinds.

Yesterday was a nice day although it felt rather lonely after a weekend with Dad.  After a really good drive home I unpacked, started off the washing (I ended up doing three loads, drying it all, ironing it all AND getting it put away), sorted out the garden and set some dates with friends for coming round.

I got the jigsaw folder set up on the living room table and scanned/enlarged the photo of the map.  It's rather clever - the piece of puzzle that has Mum and Dad's home on it is in the shape of a house.  I managed to get about five or six pieces in so, at this rate, I might finish it before the next decade starts.

This is the puzzle - I rather think I have jumped in at the deep end.  Bonkers or what?

Today is busier and more sociable.

First of all it's the weekly SW Zoom meeting.  Then Chris is coming over for our weekly chat.  This afternoon, another friend is, hopefully, coming around.  I haven't seen her since before lockdown so we will have a lot to catch up on.

And the sun should shine all day.  Lovely!

  3. That's my sort of puzzle! Good luck getting it finished - I can see why you'd want to preserve and frame it.

  6. Thanks, everyone. It's not sensible to start with one like that but it was a bit done - all the edges and the fields at the top - by Mum and it just didn't feel right to pull it to pieces again.

  7. Wow that is a difficult jigsaw, but a good challenge, sounds like a nice day planned.
    Wish I had some friends near enough to visit.

  8. Puzzles seem to be more in vogue now with folks staying in more. I don't have the patience for big, intricate ones like you show above. So I applaud your patience! When I first saw the picture of the puzzle I though it was a picture you had taken from a plane! Enjoy completing the puzzle your mom started. Have a good Tuesday.

  11. I'm getting on with it, slowly but surely. As Sue from A Smaller Life says, a magnifying glass would be a bit help!
    Maybe I should have started with something easier but I didn't really have a choice. I'll get there!
