There is a website called “Jigsaw Planet” where you can make your own jigsaw puzzles out of graphics you upload or you can work those that other people have made. Of course, the size of the puzzle is limited to the size of your viewing screen (I have a nice big computer monitor). The benefits of this website include a never-ending source of puzzles of all sorts and, most important, none of the pieces can go astray. It is a free website, both to join and work/make puzzles.
Huh. Interesting, bet it’s better for your back too.

We are in Amsterdam for the Vermeer exhibition – it was amazing. The milkmaid is here, but the girl with the pearl earring is already home in The Hague (she had to go home very early). But the tall people were almost as frustrating as losing a jigsaw piece. We thought that there should be special viewings only for tall people so the rest of us do not have to suffer….
V envious of your trip to Vermeer. I guess tall people are a particular risk in the Netherlands…

Well, yes, we should have thought before we went (stilts?). But at least we got in at a sensible time – the Rijksmuseum is keeping the exhibition open for its last two nights on June until 2.00am..tickets by lottery apparently…
I don’t know if it’s the same in Ireland but in the UK we have a film going round of the exhibition. It’s like your own private tour with expert commentary.

I think the Friends of the National Gallery had a showing but I’m not sure that it’s on general release as it were.
