The good and bad sides of doing a jigsaw puzzle. It does feel good to be doing one after many years but boy, do our necks and backs ache!
This is what DB bought me for Christmas:
At the start of today (day 3), it looked like this:
By the time we had finished, it was at this stage:
We have also been for a drive to Wells next the sea, had a short but bracing walk, and the sea air did us both a power of good.
Love Wells next the Sea, we used to go there often when we lived in the Midlands. There's a very nice fish and chip shop there....well, there used to be. That puzzle looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteThere is a nice one facing the harbour.
DeleteI bought my hubby a jigsaw for Christmas - picked up in a charity shop for £1 - Padstow in Winter - but only 250 pieces. I hope there are none missing.
ReplyDeleteWorth the risk for £1.
DeleteI have very happy memories of Wells-next-the-Sea! So many lovely childhood holidays. {I remember the fish and chip shop too Sooze}.
ReplyDeleteI haven,t even started my Christmas puzzle yet, yours looks lovely.
Join the crew, dig it out.
DeleteWells next the Sea sounds lovely. I should think all the beach huts there looked very deserted today. The OH is doing a puzzle. It is in black and white. Very difficult to do. I think it will be out for a while:)
ReplyDeleteWe were at the top end of Wells, just tootling about.
DeleteI am the one in the family that finishes all the hard bits in the jigsaws like the sky or water expanses. I love looking for the logical when doing jigsaws
ReplyDeleteThe floor and wall near the top are the slow bits on this one!
DeleteI don't think I've been to Wells next to the sea but I've been right around that top coastline, little Snoring and Fakenham. It's certainly been a cold one despite the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteWell worth a visit but better in summer.
DeleteLovely jigsaw. Harvey and I used to do them quite often when we were first married. I think we just might have to take up the habit once again.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
We had forgotten how addictive they are.
DeleteThat looks a lovely jigsaw, and one that can come out each year to do again :-)
ReplyDeleteI have stopped doing jigsaws since I started wearing reading glasses, they just give me a headache as well as neck and back ache, so this year we sold the lot at a car boot sale ... and bought some more books instead ;-)
We needed our glasses.
DeleteLoved the jigsaw, we too enjoy doing a puzzle, e have a board that e use on the dining table which stops all the aches and pains.
ReplyDeleteSame here but the table is just a smidge too low.
