He's already supervising -- and saying "No, you don't start until I'm good and ready!"

Maybe you need to bribe him?

Good luck, Pete -- enjoy every piece of that beautiful jigsaw :) . It is so well deserved!

Jim is pleased to announce that, QE2 will up anchor en route to the preffered QE2 refit yard of Peter Mugridge,  who  has agreed to undertake the very 1st refit.  QE2 will up anchor at the 1st high tide en route to the leafy port of Epsom. No time limit is set due to the technical complexity & lack of previous knowledge (other peoples piccys).

QE2 docked in Epsom this morning; reconstruction has started - the edge pieces are already assembled.

Wow Pete, well done, I would have to spread them all out & ponder over a glass (or 2 ) of red.
 Told Jim to buck his ideas up for when it's our turn.........

I had an hour to spare this afternoon after getting home from work, so QE2 herself is now fully assembled.  Big decision for the weekend: Do I do the sky or the sea next?

I'm not spreading them out either due to a lack of space here - I'm working from within the box...

I chose to do the sea first on the grounds that it was nearer to me as I sat at the jigsaw.  That took about two hours with some interruptions, so I'll tackle the sky tomorrow.

...and it's completed. ;D

I'll take a photo of it tomorrow.

If Pete Cain doesn't have any objection, I'll let the office jigsaw club have a chance to do it before I return it; this is an informal group at work who do jigsaws in drink breaks and at lunchtime on a table in the kitchen area in our office.

Not too many drinks now or QE2 might end up without lifeboats!!
