Kia ora from Aotearoa.
We raced through the top half of this Jay puzzle and then slowed considerably in the lower parts.
Plenty of food here for those who are feeling a little peckish as well as some rather scrumptious anagrams to get one’s teeth into.… Continue reading

Hola from the Vega Baja on a bright sunny morning, which makes a nice change after all the rain we’ve had over the last 48 hours. Last week the covid restrictions were eased a tad and bars were allowed to open their outside seating areas but I don’t think there was much trade done over the weekend.
