Gaz & Co are just about arriving in Kuala Lumpur at the end of the first leg of their journey. They have been in Australia. They went a while ago and their homeward flight was 'postponed' two days before they were due to fly. They have been marooned ever since until today.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-56995707120208345412020-04-04T18:45:45.918+01:002020-04-04T18:45:45.918+01:00I'm sorry to see on the very next post that co...I'm sorry to see on the very next post that covid-19 has after all reached The Island.

All my favorite puzzles are 400 or 500 pieces, so they aren't something I can whip together in an hour or two. Another bonus is the sheer variety of pictures to puzzle... you aren't limited to kitties and puppies and butterflies, or scenic panoramas of the Alps. There are just as many sorts of pictures to puzzle on that website as you can possibly imagine - famous works of art, nature, ocean, geometric designs, it just goes on and on. The fact that every day, more people are uploading new photos to puzzle means the stream of new images is basically endless. I love me some variety, some spice!<br /><br />Most of the puzzles I've uploaded are automobile ads from the 1950s, and other vintage stuff. I find that very calming - time travel in my mind, and all.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697295230446820295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-19149569343597322122020-04-03T22:48:33.082+01:002020-04-03T22:48:33.082+01:00My thoughts exactly, Jill.My thoughts exactly, Jill.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-70292126116075609042020-04-03T22:48:12.894+01:002020-04-03T22:48:12.894+01:00Jules, I find jigsaws addictive, frustrating and e...Jules, I find jigsaws addictive, frustrating and even irritating.

We have been in isolation for several days now after three of us got a cough, but it's been very minor and I doubt it has anything to do with the coronavirus. Bryony, on the other hand, has been ill after dealing with patients with the virus and is very likely to have contracted it herself. Our NHS staff certainly are wonderful.<br /><br />It's great that Gaz and family will soon be home.

It's not a bad place to quarantine. He has a big house and a big croft and hills behind the house to roam. The only contact with people in the UK will be in Glasgow airport, the taxi to his vehicle and the ferry. The ferry has distancing rules which is easy because it's carrying virtually no passengers.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-90004557371784061072020-04-03T11:50:06.197+01:002020-04-03T11:50:06.197+01:00JayCee, Im the same.
