I have never been that good at jigsaws or puzzles as many people seem to call them. I remember doing a puzzle of a horse at the age of 5 or so at this building with this man watching me.

And always she sulks at us, calls us names, insists she won't do this one... and then we find her at 2am hunting for just one more piece to go in. That's the thing about jigsaw puzzles. Once you're pulled into them it's very easy to lose track of time, to promise you'll stop, you will, you'll just do a bit more first.
