I've completed my first father's day jigsaw puzzle, a 1000 piece Marvel Characters puzzle!

I'm only celebrating it because it's all down hill from here, in fifty years time I'll probably struggle to do a 4 piece puzzle. Or I'll be in prison for killing anyone next father's day who even thinks of buying me one!!!

Well done! I admire your patience and tenacity Ryan..

I've never completed a jigsaw puzzle in my life and plan to maintain that record for at least the next fifty years. To be honest, a four-piece one is about my limit most of the time :roll:

Slow and steady wins the race, if you can't do it I'm sure Autumn will help you, for the cost of an ice cream obviously

Jim, from what you described about the AX dashboard plastic becoming very brittle, I think you need to get building them jigsaw skills! Transferable skills there! :)

If you can tolerate it, let that cat be a regular visitor. The smell of a cat in a house can deter rats from setting up home in a house.

Yesterday I spent a lot of time with these characters...

Whilst photographer and marshal at a big Milton Keynes running event :D

From a photographic point of view it was not a good spot as I was shooting almost directly into the sun :(

One good thing I discovered was that SPF100 suncream works :D A whole day out in the sun proved that...
