In a digital age the pleasures of a good jigsaw puzzle are hard to beat. You can chatter, listen to the radio, or let your mind wander - all the while enjoying that slow build up of an image. Shall I move up to 5,000 or even 10,000 pieces now, or would that that take a pleasant pastime into the realms of obsession?
@stephenfry very nice! I’m a bit of a tabletop gaming geek but I do find constructing the scenery and models/painting very relaxing for the same reasons.
