Hours and hours of jigsaw fun

One of my favourite pastimes is doing puzzles (jigsaws), but it inevitably leads to a mess in our living room and no dining table for weeks on end, so I’ve decided that until I move to a huge house where I have a dedicated jigsaw-solving (!) table, I’ll stick to doing them online. Of course, it’s no way near as fun, and there is the option of a jigroll some of you will say, but that involves sticking the pieces on the velcro, rolling it up and putting it away every tine (which I’m sure will result in some pieces falling off or moving around), which frankly takes away all the pleasure, so the online ones will have to suffice for now…

The best I’ve found so far are on Jigzone. There’s quite a good selection and many unusual cuts like squares, triangles, and even stars!!!

I started off with an easy one today, this gorgeous tulip in a 100 piece classic cut and it took me 21:41, which is abysmal considering the average is only 13:46!!

Do you enjoy solving puzzles? Click on the image above to give this one a try. It would be great to know how long it took you guys!!!  I’ll be doing a different puzzle every weekend, so if you feel up for it, we can start a mini competition…
