Is the courier firm's tracking device twinned with QE2's AIS?  ;D

Hi All -- When I arrived home from work yesterday evening, our beloved QE2 was waiting for me, docked alongside my house - in the form of the QE2 jigsaw !  (Ah, how I wish she could be docked alongside one of our houses - we could take turns !)

Thank you, Rod, very much for sending the jigsaw along to me. 

After giving three violin classes in the evening, I got down to doing what I had been anticipating all evening !

The puzzle is opened - it is spread out to start work - border is done ! 

More tonight !!

Hi Rod - Thanks for your post.  I usually do pretty well on the border, and I can see QE2 herself being fit together fairly fast.  BUT, I can see myself slowing way down on the water and the skyscrapers.  I'll take another picture tonight.
