Science fiction, fantasy, mystery and what-not
We finished puzzle number seven today. It was definitely my favorite. Vivid colors and well-shaped interlocking pieces (and none missing) made it challenging but fun and satisfying.
We’ll probably take two days off (that’s our norm so far) before beginning another.
First there were the edges.
Mistakes were made.
Then the buildings came, and the front stuff, like Annabelle’s Flowers. Eventually only green and white pieces remained.
Mistakes were made.
Finally, only green pieces were left. Oh, the green. How the green tried our souls. We could but try space to space, piece by piece by bloody damn pieces.
Fifteen hundred pieces and one week later, it’s done, baby, puzzle number for 2020.
We couldn’t have done it without our puzzle panther, Boo.
Ably supervised by two jigfloofs, we completed our third puzzle of 2020, London Bridge. We happened to find this puzzle at the Goodwill and purchased it for $4.49 (with my military discount). It’d never been opened. Inside was an offer that expired in March, 2003.
I didn’t share a photo of jigsaw #2, which were cardinals (yeah, the birds, not the religious folk) and finches in a winter scene. My partner took it apart the very next morning after it was finished. Hence the quick photo of this one, completed just one hour ago.
