Weekly Chat (Non-Osprey), 18 October 2020

Best of luck with that one, Lindy--hope you post a photo when you have finished it since I think your OH is wrong!
Some friends of ours had one similar to that and we spent some time on it with them (this was pre-Covid). It was fun but difficult. We had only gone there for an afternoon cuppa and did not leave until 7pm and it still was not done, with 4 people working on it. They finished it about a week later, not working on it continuously of course. It hooked us on jigsaw puzzles, though, and we did several more ourselves before Covid. We ordered a few more at the beginning of the lockdown in preparation for the winter but probably will not start on them until December.

LINDA – That’s some jigsaw!!!!! I hope you prove OH wrong.

Noises from Grand Design after weeks of nothing. Such slow progress. The debate will be on TV at our lunchtime. Should I expect indigestion?

A special quote today for LINDA

“When someone says you can’t do it, do it twice and take pictures.”

Lindybird:  Never heard of that type of jigsaw.   But at least you've found most of the edge bit.

AQ;  The debate starts at 6 p.m. (in California at least) - the sun is well over the yardarm by then thank heaven.  Oh my, just checked Oxford Reference and see that on board the old sailing ships the sun was reckoned to be over the yardarm at 11 a.m.!  Why didn't anyone tell me!!

LOL!!!!!

Good Morning. A pretty blue, white and pink sky again this morning. Usual discussion on the TV about the hour going back this weekend.... ..... <sigh>

I see the debate across The Pond went better than last time. Pity we can't use the Mute button more permanently on the Orange Menace.

Thanks for the encouragement re the jigsaw - in the pictures, you can't see that it's very shiny and if you move your head slightly, the picture changes. I'll plough on with it but if it turns out to be too difficult, I'll give up as lots of other things need doing around here! (Edit - I bought it 2 years ago from a charity stall & am wondering if the giver ever finished it!)

AQ, hope things go well today.

How  we all enjoy Puzzles.

Since DIANE posted link for online puzzles  https://www.jigsawplanet.com/

I have enjoyed all the different selections and saving them as I go, returning for a few minutes here and there.Once logged in love how you can make them hard or easy.Rotation makes it a real challenge

and for when you want to dobox puzzles I found the fold up boards a god send, when needing to stop half way through, being able to close it and not lose  all the hard work of sorted pieces as well.

Quick pic of the cute little outfit bought for our darling Rosie - the penguins have gold embroidery to make them festive. There are dark trousers to go with the top
