Yes that means for us that we might have a chance of an appropriate & wanted present for the Young travel agent.

A Jigsaw.

A 1000 piece jigsaw from Dymocks as our friend does them.

And some wine.

Not what we had in mind but as you know we are flexible.

Hence we do, as it is too easy to do, researched & ordered.

Which jigsaw?

Another decision so we rolled the die.

Yes it arrived in 3 days & we could track the postage.

So all gift wrapped as ordered, with the thoughts inscribed, we gave the present.

In due course it was started usually later in the evening.

Wine was sampled

Evenings were spent.

Ah there aren’t enough pieces.

There must be as there always are & appearances are deceptive.

Sure enough there are pieces missing.

About 50.

We better ask for a refund.

We sent a picture of all but jigsaw.

They respond can you send us back the original jigsaw and we refund the money.

Now that doesn’t make sense to us as what do they do with it then.

How about just another jigsaw.

Ok so we choose another 1000 piece one which is different as no more of the original in stock.

It is started.

Another few sample of wine & it is completed

Yes all the pieces are there.

Now what?

Yes we did thank Dymocks & well wrapped customer service.

Does it lie on the coffee table or back in the box or passed onto others.

Let’s frame it.

So let’s watch a video to learn as it is 1000 pieces.

Plenty of those on YouTube.

So we learn about gluing onto the top & the reverse with special glue.

And framing.

We are shopping for frames today but what happens when we can’t find a frame when the jigsaw has say 2000 pieces or more are on Utube.

And Framing is another analogy & sequence which suggests that not everything is easy & retail.

As financial certainty for you is a jigsaw & everyone is very individual then as others do let’s chat around the coffee table but no wine.

There are no 2nd chances with your money so you want & need every piece in the financial puzzle exactly right. There are no YouTube videos for your financial certainty.
