A corker, thanks very much Charybdis. I always enjoy this setter’s work. ‘I do appreciate seeing changes leaving real words in the grid, and we were treated to a lot of them in this grid.’ I said that...
Very nicely done. I do appreciate seeing changes leaving real words in the grid, and we were treated to a lot of them in this grid. I was held up momentarily from not reading the preamble properly,...
I stumbled on this lovely rendition of a lovely song and though it deserved a few more views. Hope you enjoy it as I did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxpLql6o0qI&list=RDVxpLql6o0qI&;start_radio=1...
I love jigsaw puzzles so this was perfect for me. Solvers familiar with Malva know what to expect, but, for me at least, it is still always entertaining. I particularly liked the suggestion by the...
That was good fun. I thought it was going to be a real stinker until I twigged the theme; I found some of the clues for the jumbles very tough. It didn’t exactly collapse when the theme became clear,...
I love this type of puzzle. Unfortunately, I was enjoying it so much I forgot to put dinner in the oven! I thought the clash might give me trouble, as they often do, but I found this one without too...

Lovely, thanks, Kea. I really enjoy this type of puzzle so it was always going to please me, but add to that terrific clues (as you might expect) and for me that’s perfect. The final highlighting took...
I had just finished, and thoroughly enjoyed, a Hedge-sparrow puzzle in Magpie and found myself treated to another directly. This one looked daunting from the preamble, but it didn’t turn out to be too...
I found this very easy, but very enjoyable too - confirmation that a puzzle can be both things. The only downside is that I have no excuse not to go back and try to finish last week’s. Thanks very...
I watched The Darkest Hour on BBC IPlayer the other day, which I really enjoyed, particularly as VE Day was fresh in my mind. Every time I see Gary Oldman in a film, I marvel at how he embodies the...
...here in Spain. This from El Pais: The Government will limit the movement of citizens to the maximum to stop the spread of the coronavirus. All of Spain is formally closed with the development of...
I’ve had the pleasure of testing a couple of Vismut puzzles, though not this one, and she does write some wonderful clues. The clue gimmick where both the misprints and corrections are used is very...
