The Beatles jigsaw takes shape

The Beatles

This is the current state of play of my mosaic jigsaw at work. I am now forcing myself to spend at least half an hour on this away from my desk at lunchtime instead of working through lunch. I feel better for it too. As can be seen Paul Mccartney's blue jacket is complete (which is where I had got too when work was suspended). I am now working on their hair which are dark coloured pieces. The way I do it is mind boggling. You pick up a piece, find it on the puzzle box picture and place it on the board. Eventually you get two pieces that fit into each other and as can be seen reasonable progress is being made on the hair area. I had already separated the dark pieces from the rest of the bits. I do not know what area I will work on next but the solid black area at the bottom of the puzzle will be a challenge to say the least. I'l put up a picture on this blog when I am done. The guys in the office reckon I'll have it done in two years at my current rate of progress.

Of course one of my students tells me the Beatles words in the black bit at the bottom of the puzzle are not where it should be (too far to the left) . I don't think I will be doing that bit so I think I will cut it off...

Cut it off Mr Humphreys! I cannot believe you'd do such a thing. It's jigsaw heresy. I didn't take you for Mr "I'll do the easy bit and when it gets to the hard bit I'll simply ignore it". If it was easy everyone would be doing it. Come on Mr H, if a job's worth doing it's not worth cutting off the bit that is hard :-)

Well I hope you never have trouble rack mounting a computer! It does not quite fit, no problem, angle grinder to the front.
I'm shocked.
