Hello. Not too bad this one was it? Couldn't do it yesterday because SWMBO did some more entertaining and His Nibs and I were recruited as the waiters!! Quite good fun as it happens. I have one query...
A VERY unusual time for me to be joining in. But that's because of the holidays. I did finish it but I'd like some explanations please. Before that, I hope you all had a joyful Christmas. I certainly...
hello. SWMBO DID allow me to have my crossword period! I helped her get ready for the big day. I must say I am really looking forward to it. Just as. I used to do when I was younger. After Mass, His...
Hello. A very late query from me. Lost weekend . Then my brain keeps switching off as if it was already Christmas. And I have three full days of work still to go. Anyway... I only have one query left...
hello. Foul weather down here. lots of rain (lucky plants, I suppose), wind and cold. not good for watching rugby. At least the players can run around to keep a bit warm. I rushed home afterwards to...
Hello. I found this one quite hard but some really good clues in it! I have one possible answer but where I need explanations ( or correction). 39ac. "Thought's being restricted again, as it were" The...
hello. Unusual time for me but I hope somebody is there to help. I Have three answers that I am not sure about. "Country game needing short pole" I think the answer is "Russia" which fits the country....
hello Not a bad one this week. (I'm gnashing my teeth: SWMBO's cleaner threw away the one from a couple of weeks ago that floored me. She though t it was trash. I had hoped to check the clues I...
hello. I thought that I was losing all my limited skills last week. I had about a dozen clues still unsolved even after three attempts. I saved the crossword to check the answers when the answers are...
I made a promise to myself not to mention His Nibs again as I thought I was boring you. (Did anyone notice last week?) BUT I have to just add this. We had half term this last week ("Reading week" as...

Wow, what a weekend. Friday, the usual session with His Nibs at the local.Very pleasant but not exceptional. Saturday was absolutely amazing. The sun shone all day and he had a home game so, as usual,...
Hello again. Funny (odd) day. His Nibs was playing away today so I didn't go . It gave me the chance for a lie in for the first time for ages and ages! SWMBO was not too pleased but, for me, it was...
Hello. Late as usual these days. it was His Nibs's first rugby match of the season and he was very keen that I should go. Tbh I was unenthusiastic as I fancied a lie-in. (We were out on Friday...
hi Later than usual (his Nibs and I were at a party on Saturday. Great !!!) I found this crossword really difficult and only part of the reason was that it was the day after the party. I have two...
Hello again. Rather later than usual but I am confident of finishing before bath time! I've had a great time with His Nibs though we are both back to the grindstone so opportunities are not as often...
We are back from Ireland. Those who know me can probably guess what the highlight of the week was. I was so nervous beforehand but His Nibs was (is) wonderful. I am so lucky! To the crossword The...
Greetings from Connemara. Crossword was invaluable yesterday when the weather was vile. But it's been OK today and I went kayaking (arranged by SWMBO as you might guess. I enjoyed it.) So far I have...
I can't remember who suggested the Irish edition of the Times might have the jumbo. It does. But the section it appears in back home isn't printed here. Still, I looked more carefully and found it....
