This was fun and easy, only filling in the last white parts took a bit of time. The puzzle was produced in the Netherlands, and the quality is exactly the same as with Jumbo’s Wasgij and JVH-series, so I suspect they’ve used the same manufacturer. It even has the same waxy finish as the Jumbo puzzles have.

I decided to start with something easy in Dortmund. This was great fun, and it was easy to pick out the pieces for each section. The little car is my new puzzle mascot – I saw some people had mascots in a Facebook puzzle group and decided I needed one, too!

It’s an Opel Adam, and I have this car, also yellow with a black roof, although instead of the large Borussia Dortmund logos I only have a small sticker in the rear.

Speaking of Borussia Dortmund, on Saturday the first game of the new Bundesliga season was played at home, and I was lucky enough to be among the 25 000 who were allowed to watch the game in the stadium. 25 000 is still less than a third of capacity, but it’s more than has been allowed since February 2020. We won 5-2 against Eintracht Frankfurt!
