I have done 14 crosswords and puzzled this evening. I am all played out.
Mail, Express and local paper that has a large pullout of puzzles.
No more until Sunday's arrive!

Mine have been more spread out through the day, next lot are due in 10 minutes - things we do as hobbies eh?

Chris, what is the relevance to my post?

[Buenchico]

You said that you'd run out of crosswords, so I just thought that I'd leave you with one more clue to deal with tonight.

[Caran]

Thank you Chris!
