Happy National Puzzle Day!

I looked at the Cloudberry puzzles. They look like a real challenge, all that merging colour. Not sure Mr LD would cope with that.

Spottybook I have seen the Cloudberries but they do look hard! My online jigsaw supplier does them, so I shall have another look! Thank you.

I really love puzzles, great brain training.

We enjoy them, but usually 500 pc is the max. I did buy one for Christmas, so we can work on it together. We tend to pick away at it while having a beer/cider after i am home from work, but of course we will have a bit of extra time over the holidays this year since we are not entertaining.

They are relaxing and satisfying.

DH’s jigsaw board is always out, but they don’t interest me much (though I will look over his shoulder and pop a piece in when I’m passing by! Much to his annoyance!). I like general knowledge crosswords (no good at cryptic), Codeword, and a few other internet word games.

We have been doing a complicated Christmas jigsaw for the last week.We were convinced a piece was missing even though it is a brand new jigsaw.Over the last few days we have spent ages trying to fit the missing piece.This morning while waiting for the kettle to boil I decided to have another go and found the ‘missing’ piece straightaway!I am sure fellow jigsaw addicts can understand my joy!

I’ve just completed the last 1000 piece jigsaw from a box of 4 Christmas puzzles.

Very nice.

Now, shall I redo another one from my pile of puzzles in the spare room or leave it until next week?

I think that I'm going to get my dad the Cloudberries Celestial Map jigsaw.
He is a newcomer to jigsaws (lock down).
If I order it today (Amazon) he will get it tomorrow. He'll also be the recipient of a heated throw - so many GN recommendations!

Fannycornforth just looked at the jigsaw, lucky Dad! It looks amazing, I think though that I’ll have to start selling some of mine to make room.
