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...
Hello I hope you are all well I have two clues that I need help with please "pretended one is on the ground - is worker following" (3-6) I have s*i/* i*a*t . The second one is "Most desert a journey...
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....
At last. Nearly done. Two interconnecting ones are defeating me though. "Baptist minister introducing learner to poet" With the letters I have, John Milton fits so there's the poet. But I don't get...
Wow! This was certainly a tough one!!! I have answers for all of the clues but some I would not bet my pocket money on. But can I ask about a couple please? The first is "Major preceding brutal...
Sorry there is another one that has me puzzled.
Burns possibly making black marks all over, causing shock.
I think the answer is tremor but I don't know why, apart from shock
steven...
A bit later than usual (holiday job) a couple of requests for help please. "changing out of uniform, shapeless in allotment". With the letters I have the answer seems to be metamorphosing which meets...
A very late start this week. His Nibs and I will not be seeing each other until September as he has gone on holiday with his family and we go to Ireland for our annual trip whereas he comes back. We...
First, may I thank those who helped me with my critic last week. It really helped me! relaxed day so far. His Nibs has a family commitment until about now so I expect him soon. Then he's taking me...
I found this really tough but I am nearly there. I MUST finish because His Nibs is taking me out tonight. Yesterday was a No Go day as I have NO interest in the World Cup and, to put it simply, he...
Crisis subsided though I don't suppose you are interested. So may I make my usual plea for explanations please? I have possible answers for them all. There are three. "Chap failing to work on field"...
