A challenging home-made jigsaw

While we were house-sitting, I finished two big jigsaws. I started a home-made wooden one which was created by the father of the lady of the house. I didn’t think I’d get it finished so I’ve packed it away again but it’s obviously a hunting scene. I was able to find the heads of two horses at least. It looks like the pieces have been cut out with a fretsaw. They don’t ‘lock in’ with each other very well. I think it would have been a bit of a challenge to finish. I haven’t been myLotting for a few days as we didn’t have good internet at the house-sit and over the weekend we were at a horse ride. However, we’ve home now and things will be back to normal for about three weeks before we go away again. Edit: I was hoping the photo problem might have been corrected but it seems not.

I'm glad you're back. Photos still aren't working right but that doesn't mean we can't visit anyway.

It's hard to complete a jigsaw when the pieces do not lock in well. NO photo! I have the feeling that this problem has not at all been fixed.

@JudyEv I understand very well. I also had in mind a new discussion, but I need to post a photo and this bug is far to be fixed- Now I cannot see most of the avatars in addition to the photos.

It's a real shame. I've avoided putting up quite a few discussions because I want to put a photo up with them.

I noticed you had been missing a few days, and I am glad to see you back. Some people got their photos to load today, but I imagine it took several tries, and some luck. The majority of photos though, like you said, didn’t take.

On one post I tried and tried. So I spat the dummy for a few days! Well, not really as we didn't have wifi anyway but I was getting really fed up with it.

Yes you have been less active than usual. But at times, it can happen. The Home Made puzzle sounds interesting. Fretsaw is something that I have heard about for the first time. It would have been quite a task to create the puzzle by oneself.

We are going to a place called Kirup. They have two cats, a young dog and some ponies. It's a little south of where we used to live so we might be able to catch up with old friends there.

From the look of the photo I'd say it should have been called Polar Bears in the snow. Of course this comment is going to make zero sense once you get the photo correctly loaded!!!

@WorDazza Hmmm. For once, I think you might be right - as long as all their paws were tucked under.

I think it's more like Meringues in Ice Cream. Polar bears would have beady little black eyes.

You guys do a lot of house sitting. So three weeks and you’re leaving again. Happy trails to you.I just watched that old movie starring Gene Autry.

You have such an interesting life where you are. If not for my pets I might be swayed to want to travel too except as a lone woman I wouldn't feel safe.
