Not just pro-puzzlers, but pro-puzzling competitions. I know this because I was served a video of it by the instagram algorithm which I've apparently confused so much it's just throwing reels at me now to see what sticks. There's a world champs. It's a speed thing, apparently. There's a pairs competition, which was what the video I got served showed. Now the space in my brain for Important Things is filled with this info, which is mildly concerning and probably why I forget stuff.
I’ve recently got into embroidery, using kits which are essentially a needle-and-thread version of colouring by numbers. Definitely an equivalent to puzzling there!
I have an unopened jigsaw puzzle that I bought in December. Don't know where to work it, as I only have one small dining room table where I eat, sew, make art ... I can clear up after each activity, but the puzzle, unless it's ruined by taping pieces together, needs to stay put in one place. And since my poor old body is too inflexible to sit on the floor, so I continue to ponder its placement predicament.
In the meantime, you've inspired me to make some hummus.
Thank you so much! I just finished the border on my stupid jigsaw and now I'm knackered so I'm going to go and read in bed with tea. Stupid jigswaw. Stupid past me! Let me know how your hummus goes!

Great. Another impossible standard to live up to

This absolutely sounds like something I would do, too!
There are also loads of sweary or otherwise irreverent kits which I adore

Love your writing ... thank you!
