Another jigsaw with a difference

We’ve been away for four nights, staying with friends at Madora Bay near Mandurah, Western Australia. There was nine of us for most of the time and we’ve been friends for over 30 years. It was an excuse to celebrate my 80th birthday and a very enjoyable occasion it was. Vince cooked dinner for us all one evening, we went out to lunch one day and filled the rest of the time with doing a very difficult jigsaw, solving cryptic crosswords or just chatting and enjoying each other’s company. In the photo, you can see the Wasgij? (jigsaw backwards) that we managed to finish before we left. I’ll show the box in one of the comments but there isn’t much on the box that helps solve the actual puzzle. What you see on the box isn’t what you’re attempting to create. The lounge chairs have the same pattern but that’s about it.

A puzzle like that can be a fun challenge.

That’s really something then! And happy 80th birthday. Congratulations for being younger in mind and spirit than most of us!

Now that's a puzzle! And tricky enough for a group of you to work on and enjoy together. Not sure if this is a belated wish or not, but Happy Birthday Judy. I remember you spending time together with these friends in summer's past and you always had a really great time together. It is nice, that in a world so full of changes, some things remain the same.

Belated wishes for a very happy birthday! I want to see the box now. I don't think I would have the patience to do that, at least not on my own. With friends would definitely be more fun!

Happy birthday wishes and made memorable too with friends of over thirty years. I was afraid to start complicated jigsaw puzzles though I am not into it now.
