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

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"...
Hello again. I hope you are all well. Funny weather here which didn't help during he exam season. Still it's over . Sp able to concentrate on the better things in life. Like the crossword. And. of...
Hello. My regular request for explanations I am afraid. The first is "Salt an avenging goddess put on tail of bird" I have *I*a*a*e. in my list of salts I've reduced possibilities to two: titanate and...
Hello. There's a few where I am not sure WHY my answers are correct but, for the sake of brevity, I'll just ask the one that I have most doubts about. "Times gets authorisations properly (2,6)" With...
What an amazing dat yesterday turned out to be! It started dull. Weather and socially. His Nibs was supposed to go on a trip to some relative with his mother and the clouds his the sun. But then it...
