Good Morning from the misty heart of Downtown L I. All seems to be well with the world after the weekend’s marathon Rugby Union experience during which I managed to watch seven games. All four quarter finals in The Rugby World Cup. Two Premiership Matches and of course my home team Coventry who beat Bedford narrowly with a last gasp try and conversion. Continue reading “DT 29187”

Another week starts with a fine Monday puzzle. There are a few anagrams and a couple of chestnuts to get you started. After that the grid should have enough helpful checkers to get you through. Continue reading “DT 29181”

Good morning from the heart of Downtown L I. (Long Itchington for those who want to know) All seems well with the world. The promised biblical downpour failed to materialise and a rather pleasant weekend was the outcome. England got through a tough game against Argentina but Coventry lost to Ealing Trailfinders on Friday night. Honours even at three tries apiece. Continue reading “DT 29175”

Good morning from the sunny Yorkshire Dales where Saint Sharon and I have enjoyed the weekend (apart from the spider). I enjoyed today’s puzzle which contains just enough to stretch the grey matter over the last couple in. Home today after a drive over the Buttertubs. Continue reading “DT 29157”

Good morning from a dreich Southlochaweside where Saint Sharon and I are on holiday. Other than providing a crossword blog I we have nothing to do and all week to do it. Today’s puzzle is rather anagram heavy but otherwise quite satisfying. Rebel Rebel is playing on the sound system which given today’s alias is rather appropriate. Continue reading “DT 29151”

Good morning from the peaceful heart of Downtown LI. Peaceful that is apart from the continuous drone of massive tractors pulling massive trailers filled with either grain or bales which drive past our dwelling every ten minutes from very early in the morning until very late at night all through the harvest season. Well done to England’s Rugby and Cricket teams. It will take a while to wipe the smile from my face after those results. Continue reading “DT 29139”
