Jigsaw puzzles

I don't know why my physio didn't suggest it to me earlier but I have stumbled upon jigsaw puzzles for therapy. The repetitive movements of sorting pieces has done my lymphedema arm the world of good. Sitting around with not a lot of energy is boring and I put on movies to watch but I still like to be doing something to keep my mind and body active. Some knit or crochet, I do puzzles.

My biggest was a Ravensberger 5000 and a Clementoni 6000, both old master paintings. My kids challenged me with the sizes! Did them both but never again! Did you know that Microsoft Games has great puzzles free - only 200 pieces but enough to take your mind off things.
I have 1/2 dozen 500-1000 happy to give away if anyone is near the Gold Coast - too bulky to mail.
Those 5000 & 6000 piece old master painting puzzles are just beautiful Michelle. I had a friend who framed theirs after finishing it. I'm just imagining the fun my indoor cat would have pushing all those pieces off the table!
Enjoy
Cath, a hint ... if you look closely at the pieces you should be able to see which side they were cut from. It makes it easier.
I had just finished a 3000 piece puzzle when I was diagnosed, and during summer we did this crazy 1500 jigsaw of piles of sweets:
My next one is a Cuban street, a 2000 piece, which I think is my preferred size. It's about as much as my dining table can handle!
