Hello. As His Nibs is back in uni, I am free to do the crossie. Well, I have been since our chat earlier. I so miss him but I know it's for the best . SWMBO tells me so regularly!!! And, as we know,...
Normally when I come to this site, it's about crosswords. This isn't. I accept the reality of climate change and I try to do my bit in not destroying our planet. But I am not sure why changing our...
Rather later than usual because His Nibs went back to uni yesterday and there was much to be done between us! we found it difficult to part. TBH I found settling down to do the crossie after he'd gone...
This has been the first chance I had to look at a crossword since His Nibs came. It has been wonderful since we first touched. We've been together absolutely non stop since then. I'm in seventh...
Sorry. My feeble attempt at humour failed miserably. What I said was a boast was really an attempt to sing the praises of the great people who give me and others so generously of their time and skill....
Here’s another boast. I have completed it and I have made all the words fit into the two grids.
His Nibs will soon be here.
Christmas is going to be great!!!

Having, with enormous help, solved Prospect’s previous tough crossword, I thought I would give the special a go. Basically there are two tables and there are 52 clues. Two for each letter of the...
This is a boast! (Shame on me, boasting in Advent,but there you are) .I managed to work out the 20 letter word at the top!! It's a word I didn't know and I worked it out using "crossword logic". I...
A while ago,, I asked about the very odd crossword in the December edition of SWMBO's magazine. There are no clues for most of the across clues,just a letter. I have come back to it again and again. "...
I decided to have another go and have made progress. But it is a tough call for me! There's a couple of down clues ( the ones with a definition) which just defeat me . Help gratefully received....
hi . I'm afraid the Generalist crossword (that I was seeking advice on yesterday) proved too hard for me. I managed quite a lot but I think you need to be a bit more experienced than I am to tackle...
SWMBO has a magazine called Prospect (interesting). This month there’s an unusual crossword and I want to try it. The down clues are crossword normal. But the across clues simply have a single...
hello. Another Saturday evening with the crossword and without His Nibs. I DO miss him! I have eventually finished it, with a lot of difficulty. May I, as usual, ask for help please? bThere's a few....
hello Sorry I have been missing for a few weeks (though, no doubt, some may have been relieved!) Partly snatching time with His Nibs. Nuff said for the moment have a few where I have the answer and...
Hello. I am back for my now regular Saturday night request for help. As always I have suggestions for answers but can't quite work out why. Help gratefully received . 16ac Numbers in financial...
wow. What a weird one! I have finished (at least I have filled in all the squares. I am so unsure of the reasoning for some answers that I shouldn't be in the least surprised if someone tells me I'm...
I found this really tough. But it may be that I just can't concentrate. His Nibs has gone off to uni! Of course, it's for the best but I feel so lonely without him. On to the crossie. I've managed,...
Hello. Ticking down to His Nibs going off to uni. I'm not looking forward to it!! We're meeting up at 9 ...so must press on. To the crossword. I've got answers to all the clues but,as always, I can't...
Hello. I'm back. Well, actually I was back last week but I simply couldn't get into the way of thinking of the setter of last week's crossword. I had so many white spaces I was too embarrassed to seek...
