A friend who knows that I love puzzles gave me this little take-a-break present. Consisting of a mere 100 pieces (easy peasy!), it took only about 20 minutes to assemble it, but still, it demanded enough focus that it took my mind off other matters.
There's something about doing a jigsaw that takes me to some other shore, a place where other concerns disappear. Even so, there's usually some kind of system involved in putting one together.
Border pieces or 'edge' pieces are often an easy place to start. Their straight cut along one side makes them easy to find.
Truly, the easiest part for me with this puzzle was the lovely little underwater fish.A lazy day, but still, a treat to have such a fun kind of distraction.
