Over this August bank holiday weekend I have been indulging in something I haven’t done for a while – a jigsaw puzzle. I always used to do these as a kid on holidays so there’s something about doing this that’s intrinsically linked to holidays for me.
It’s also the perfect thing for cosying up inside and shutting out world (and some pretty ordinary weather – I think Summer might really be over!) and it’s kept me completely absorbed for a few hours over each of the last 2 days. So Friday night, I spread the puzzle roll mat out on the dining table, cracked open the bag of pieces and surrendered myself completely…
The border is done (I always do the border first) and centre strip (with lots of interesting bits) is well on the way!
Tah Daaaah!!!! All done!
ps…BTW the puzzle roll thing that its on? Don’t trouble yourself with getting one- rolling it all up only produces frustration and disappointment as all the little pieces come apart again. That patent was a real waste of money…
