We went to visit my sister a few days ago. I took back some jigsaws and books that I’d borrowed and was pleased to have the space back but I’ve come home with four more jigsaws and another four books. You can see some of them in the photo.
She lives on her own and has a table where she can work on a jigsaw without it ever being in the way of other things. She has done one that is shaped like a giraffe and has a number of other images in it. Her latest was of a rooster again with other images scattered throughout the body of the jigsaw.
I do my jigsaws on a board and sometimes I have to take the board and put it on our bed if we need the table for something else. For that reason, I only borrow smaller jigsaws. Now I’m older and have less patience, I also like the ones that have the large-size pieces.

@snowy22315 I'd love to help people declutter but the 'hoarders' might be a different kettle of fish.

Jigsaws used to be a big thing over here years ago. Last one I did had 5-7 years written on the side of the box, but it only took me a few minutes. Rubbish!
Is the book written by a family member? I’ve heard the term ‘smoking jacket’ but not ‘smoking jumper’. I hate the smell of smoke, whether it’s on a jacket or jumper. What say you?

@JudyEv Deliberately Obtuse? That’s not the angle I was coming from.

Haha. I think you are being deliberately obtuse. 
Seriously though, I have my doubts about the real smoke jumpers. I don't see how men on foot can do much in the face of a serious bushfire but I could be wrong. I remember I was wrong once but it was many years ago.

Oh, what fun! I'm currently working on a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle. It's enjoyable to piece them together while watching TV. And something to keep me occupied during those commercials. I've done 1000-piece ones before, and they do take quite some time to finish. But hey, no rush, it's a nice way to wind down in the evening.

I haven't done jigsaws for a long time. If I do, I also prefer large-size pieces.
