Yogi, the nicestt jigsaw I've done in recent years was a 500 piece circular one called Grovely Kingfishers by C Newman.

The circular ones are very hard to do 

They are hard to do which is why I would stick with 500 piece ones rather than larger ones

 

I once did a double-sided jigsaw (different picture on the two sides). Although claimed to be harder than a typical jigsaw I found it easier. The pictures were sufficiently different to be able to tell which side belonged to which picture. Then, where it wasn't clear if one piece fitted into another piece on one side, I just turned over the two pieces to see if they fitted on the other side.

That’s very clever El

It's wasn't one of those Impossipuzzle ones - there's a double sided on with just baked beans on one side and brussel sprouts on the other - I would find that just boring

Love the idea of the kingfisher jigsaw, El. Never tried a circular one. As Moonie says, they seem more difficult.

Opted for one of my 500 piece ones

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros

omg yes- fantastic EL

night yogi and moonsie summer if you are around

Good morning everyone it's a little cloudy this morning. I did a double sided jigsaw online but how do you do one in real life EL? How can you turn it over?

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

A very cloudy day here.

Squiggle, it was a long time ago when I did that double sided jigsaw. I think the pieces fitted well with each other so that they didn't disintegrate when moved. If I needed to check if a piece fitted with another piece I removed the piece previously placed, then checked if the pictures on both sides fitted before putting the piece back along with the new piece if they fitted.

Yogo, I hope your jigsaw is going well

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone.

Weather is chilly, dry and quite bright.

El, I only sorted out the corners and edges of the jigsaw yesterday but I’ll get started properly today 

Have a good day and stay safe, all

Yogi, I generally start with the corners and edges as well

Good morning my apologies for being awol, I don’t know how I ever found time to go to work! how are you all? 

thank you for the advice El, I’ll set aside the taxable amount of the grant- should I say 30% to include national insurance? 

I’ve been exercising to DVD’s/you tube sessions to make up for lack of physical activity that I’d normally be doing in my usual daily work, and today I’m stiff lol 

Squiggle, cover your jigsaw with something flat or some foil.. and flip it x

Summer, with a standard rate of tax at 20% and class 4 NI at 9%, 30% should be OK though more for anyone going into the higher rate of tax

 I’m only doing it in short bursts so I don’t finish it too quickly

Summer, please do a workout for me too

those are awesome EL-my favourite is number 4 - really awesome  although they are all fantastic

night yogi moons summer

Good morning everyone it's a bit dreary this morning disappointingly.

Reading back about Summer's workouts I muddled up your post about doing it in short bursts so as not to finish  too quickly Yogi and thought that was how Summer was doing her workouts!

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

A bit less cloudy here than yesterday.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone  
I hope you are all in good health 
Cloudy here, cool but dry, for now 

Have as good a day as is possible, considering the current circumstances 

Good morning everyone.

Not such a nice day, weather wise - cold, very windy and showery.

Housework is done so I’m going to do some more of my jigsaw.

Squiggle, it’ s very easy to mix up posts 

Stay safe, everyone.

Your jigsaw is turning into a formidable task/pastime Yogi  

Cotswold Wildlife Park has a couple of live webcams, one of their penguins and one of their meerkats:

Any of you recognise the background music played on a recent episode of BBC's Doctors?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/...2-back-to-the-future

Starts at 24 minutes 35 seconds and lasts a couple of minutes. Quite possibly written for a top film as it's good quality. I would ask the BBC but at present they're not taking queries from viewers about programmes.

Moonie, I’m trying to make the jigsaw last

Sorry El, I can’t help with the music 

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros

I gathered that Yogi  

Night night, sleep well, sweet dreams Yogi, Rosss and visitors  

Good morning everyone it's a little cloudy this morning and still windy. Have we all been 'clapping for the NHS'? We made a bit of a racket in our tucked away village last night at 8.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Cloudy here.

Yogi, thanks re trying to help me identify that piece of music

Squiggle, yes, I did join the clapping last evening (and last week) There were quite a lot of us. There's a paramedic who lives just opposite me so we were doing it as much for him as everyone else.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone 

Showers and light breeze are forecast - dry atm.

Squiggle, I took part in the applause for the NHS this week and last.

Even more neighbours took part this week which was heartwarming to see

El, I’m sure the Paramedic who lives near would appreciate the support from you and your neighbours.

Stay safe, everyone 

Thanks Yogi

Good morning everyone   

Cool, breezy but dry here. No rain expected today 

I joined in with the applause as did the odd neighbour. It’s a shame more people didn’t show their appreciation though 

Have a good day all and stay safe
