Defeat

Twenty pieces to go and I liberated myself from the misery that was this jigsaw.
Left with twenty measily pieces, tried each and every one in the remaining gaps to no avail. Wrestled with my conscience for two days then decided to do my own version of a finale. I covered up said spaces with the remaining pieces and decided that’s as good as it gets. ( look carefully at the top right corner)

Free jigsaw to a good home, enemies need only apply.

Addendum: note to self. Do not break up a near complete jigsaw twenty minutes before your First Minister announces a total lockdown Stupid girl
