I've gone round the entire open space left on the jigsaw to find and place the odd shaped pieces.
Now back to ordinary shaped pieces to fill in the small sections created by the odd

You know I love my jigsaws
But this one is a pain!
So many cherry blossoms
Why are they pink!
Rarely am I frustrated
But this jigsaw is large
One thousand pieces
I must have been nuts
I actually have another
That I've started too
I hope that it's easier
The colour have improved
I usually have fun sorting
The corners and the edge
Then construct the border
I then have parameters
Next I sort the middle
Not by colours or by shades
Rather the type of piece
If you know what I mean
Then I further sort the pieces
Into their five groups
How many points out
And how many points in
To start to see the picture
This one is in Japan
With the pink cherry blossoms
No I'm not a fan
I am eighty percent through
Means I've done eight hundred pieces
Under two hundred left
Yes all cherry blossoms
But it is for a friend
To have it done by Monday
I like the castle in it
Himeji it is called
I really hope she likes it
And the work that's gone in
Hours, many hours
It'll be worth it in the end

@avant-garde i love that poem, i sort out my pieces the same way. I can hear the frustration with those cherry blossoms but it will be worth it in the end, I'm sure your friend will love it ☺️

@tyme made a good point... I'm meeting up with Charming today and I want to challenge him in how he treats me... but how can I challenge him when I ask why he and so many others treat me like I don't know what I'm doing... that they're forcing their opinion on how I should live without taking into account how I actually want to live.

@avant-garde yes tyme makes a good point. I'm not sure why he and others treat you like you don't know what you're doing when from what I see you are more than capable of knowing what you want/need and how you want things to be with your life.
I'm sorry i was so delayed in replying I fell asleep on my lounge, the heat here has taken everything out of me.
I hope meeting with him goes ok, I'd love to hear how it does go if you are up for sharing after.

Charming was actually his normal self, he didn't realise just how hard I had worked to reduce the amount of stuff I had.
That and I wasn't triggered just by being at church and him being a deacon.
He also didn't realise just how far away my storage unit is and was overreaching in his timing, it's a 20 minute drive for him and a 40 minute drive for me
