Having another go at trying to break my 500 piece puzzle record 😅 What's your fastest time? 👀

Well done ❤ the first puzzle looks hard so your time was good 👍🏻

Thank you! It was more difficult than I expected 😅

Well done!! 🤩 I really should start practising as well, but we have the most beautiful summer right now and I haven't really figured out yet how I could do puzzles outside without pieces falling through the cracks of our terrace... But luckily there's always the last minute panic! 😄

Thank you! I know how you feel! We have a lovely summer now as well, which makes it difficult to stay in and puzzle 😅 Make sure to use the rainy days for some puzzling then 🤗

@@janetteandherpuzzles Yep, I'm eagerly waiting for some rain! 😂

Awesome job! I think your prep for the competition is really well thought out. Can't wait to see you do the 4 puzzles from last year's competition! Good luck!😁

Thank you! Yes, I'm excited to see how I do as well... But nervous as well 😅

You chose 3 really hard puzzles and showed very good times! I expect you to get sub 1 hour times for the competition puzzles "Colorful London Townhouses" and "London Postcard"...

Thank you! I think I am losing perspective on which puzzles are difficult - I just assume all are easy, because they only have 500 pieces 😂🙈 Wow, I wish! I haven't done any puzzle under 1 hour so far 😅

Those first two puzzles look so tricky! You had great times for both considering their difficulty. I know what you mean about feeling that you are getting slower. It also feels that the more I practice, the slower I'm getting. I can't wait to puzzle with you. I have to figure out how to pack a bunch of puzzles to bring with me so we can practice. No matter how we do in Spain, I know we are going to have so much fun puzzling all together. 💜🧩

They were!! And thank you! 🤗 Hahaha yeah it's weird, right?! I think I'm just becoming too relaxed now 🤣 I can't wait to puzzle with you either! 🤩 And yes, definitely packing some puzzles - maybe leave the boxes at home, and just put the puzzles in a sealed bag. And I agree with you! This is gonna be so much fun, regardless of how well we do 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I think you did pretty good on your practice run. I think it's smart to take different lighting into consideration.

Thank you! I wasn't sure if there was any point in doing that, but I could see the difference when puzzling, so definitely a good thing for practice 😁👌🏻

Image can make a difference with how fast you can put it together. That mountain one was not easy, nor was the waterfall one. Both those puzzles had colours that were tricky to do. Time of day can also make a difference, later in the day means that you are tired to some degree. I find I can't puzzle as well in the evening as I can in day time as the light is not so good. All you can do is your best and enjoy yourself. 🙂I shall be interested to see what your times are for the four puzzles from 2022. 🧩🧩

I have noticed that yes! I did struggle quite a bit, with the first two puzzles, so I'm quite glad I did them when the sun was out 😅 I agree with you about puzzling in the evening - I become slower as well, and my eyes get tired quickly. Well, I'll be tackling 2 of them quite soon, so I think it'll be quite interesting to see how I do 😅🙈
