Good to know that the jigsaw has docked, I was beginning to think that she had taken a cruise to the Caribbean, before docking in Florida!

Looking forward to the photos Rod  :)
I was proud to be involved with planning QE2's 50 year conference in September 2017 in Clydebank

Hi Rod - So glad to hear that QE2 (jigsaw) has docked at your house.  We are looking forward to commentary and photos as you fit her together !  Have a good few days away and good luck with the puzzle.  Yes, I think I am next ?  June

Hi Lynda - Yes, so glad to hear that QE2 (jigsaw) is now docked at Rod's !  She might have taken a little detour to retrace her former travels.   :D  June

Good to know it has arrived safely, Rod. Take your time... these jigsaws are there to be enjoyed! Find yourself a relaxed week-end to tackle it -- you may even find a relaxed fellow-puzzler to tackle it with :) .

As for me, the (somewhat bigger) jigsaw I started after this one is still not finished, but I made some headway last week-end. Picture from a gallery, some obscure painter who liked gradations of brown and green. I am having a pause now, but shall happily continue when next I feel inspired!

Hi Rod - Thanks for your post.  Yes, as Isabelle has said, take your time to enjoy fitting together our QE2 (jigsaw).  In fact, she is probably enjoying herself, by proxy, being moored at a friendly house where there are no worries. 

Hi Isabelle - Thanks for your post and update on your current jigsaw.  How many pieces in this one ?

To all - have a great day !  June

How is she doing, Rod? Are you enjoying each other's company?

The jigsaw is still sitting on the dining room table!
But it has made the move with us to our new house!
That is why it has not been started.
Hopefully over the weekend.

So, she has been cruising again!

Congratulations on the house move, Rod -- may the jigsaw give you the first of many happy hours and days there :) .

Hope the new house goes well Rod.
Much easier to do it our way and take your home with you. Saves a heck of a lot of packing.

Problems with the plumbing? Just like being back at sea. Niagra Niagra !!!

All the best in your new home Rod.

Hi Rod, how is the cruising QE2 doing?

Hope the new house is organised, the jigsaw table up, and the photos coming our way!

I also see that June was next on the list of puzzlers for this one -- June, is this still right or am I getting my lists mixed up?
