A very good Wednesday morning from Winnipeg.
For me, etc (I have to say that for Terence), a very fair Wednesday challenge. If there are any half crowns left at the back of my sock drawer they are staying there because when it comes to the setter, as my ancestors would say, je ne sais pas.

The run of very enjoyable Wednesday puzzles continues (and the Quickie pun is pretty good too). Many thanks to our setter.

A very good Wednesday morning from Winnipeg on this the 183rd day of the year. So, ignoring government mandated seasonal one hour time adjustments, at noon, wherever you live, it becomes all ‘downhill’ to 2026 – the ultimate ‘Hump Day’! ( HUMP DAY definition and meaning | Collins English Dictionary )
For me, etc (I have to say that for Terence), a very enjoyable and not overly challenging Wednesday puzzle with no sign of the Reverend W A Spooner. A pair of half crowns from the never-ending supply at the back of my sock drawer are telling me that this is probably a Hudson production.

A very good Wednesday morning from Winnipeg where we still need rain but the wildfires are mostly under control.
For me, etc (I have to say that for Terence), much more like a Wednesday puzzle should be and no sign of the Reverend W A Spooner but there are a number of literary, cinematic, and theatrical references. Once again, I have managed to find another pair of half crowns at the back of my sock drawer and, again, they are telling me that this is probably a Twmbarlwm production.
