Didn't take as long as Odysseus to do this, but it's finally completed! Time to liberate the table. Going to struggle to find a jigsaw as cool as this. #odyssey #jigsaw

Royal Mail recently unveiled a set of stamps depicting mythical creatures and figures from UK folklore, and I'm currently having a major "I just think they're neat" Marge Simpson moment over them.

The set depicts Beowulf and Grendel, Blodeuwedd, the Loch Ness Monster, Cornish Pixies, Fionn mac Cumhaill, Black Shuck, Grindylow, and a Selkie.

Got this absolutely BEAUTIFUL puzzle a couple weeks ago. I turned in a couple final essays, I should be reading- but I’m foaming at the mouth to start this today.
Cover art on the box of my 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle “The World of Great Gatsby” by Adam SimpsonImage of the full puzzle on the back of the box. The puzzle is a party scene at Gatsby’s mansion. The puzzle shows various scenes and characters like Gatsby, Nick, and Daisy, other Fitzgerald characters like Benjamin Button, as well as some literary figures like Hemingway and Gertrude Stein.

It’s the 100th anniversary of the publication of The Great Gatsby. I was just thinking that I re-read it recently. Then remembered that I didn’t, I just did the jigsaw.

Aw, the Dracula jigsaw comes with a poster you can use to make the jigsaw, plus on the back a summary of the story. Cute!
Dracula characters are drawn on the side of the jigsaw box, Jonathan, Dracula & Mina, Vampire Lady, Dracula & Lucy, Lord Godalming. In the background a dark tabletop with jigsaw pieces on it.A photo of the A1 size black and white image (of Dracula jigsaw) and text which is a summary of the novel, Dracula.

Wife and I spent the afternoon listening to the Crow soundtrack and doing this drackala puzzle; scientists haven't figured out a way to classify how cool we are, they tried but all their instruments broke.

As the decluttering continues, I have discovered a picture frame that will fit the jigsaw I got for Christmas...so, obviously, I should make a start on it (well, sorting edge pieces from the rest) #Dracula

One of the few things I’ll miss about the bird site is the massive thread I created to track the jigsaw puzzles my family completed. Thus begins my Bluesky puzzle thread! Kicking off with this Dracula puzzle we completed right before Halloween. 1000 pieces—took about a week.
