Jigsaw Challenge

It must be nearly thirty years since I attempted such and large and complex jigsaw. It's over a thousand pieces and my wife bought it for my birthday. The pile of pieces to the left is the faming jigsaw pieces which I eventually did managed to assemble but then had to do another couple of comprehensive sorts through all the remaining pieces t find the three or four pieces to finish off the frame. And to think that this is really the easiest part of puzzle assembly ! I guess there might end to be several blips to follow the course of my completing the puzzle.
