A very good Wednesday morning from Winnipeg where, after a pizza and ice cream cake, with seconds, lunch accompanied by two pints of mild I thought I might be too soporific to be able to solve and blog today’s puzzle on my Tuesday evening. Fortunately, it seems that the setter was psychically sympathetic to my situation and has provided a relatively straightforward puzzle.

A very good Wednesday morning from Winnipeg where, as suggested by the Clipart above, today is my 500th blog; totally eclipsed by Crypticsue, Gazza, and Prolixic of course, but, among the mere mortals, doing quite well – 426 Sunday Puzzles, including the first Sunday Toughie, and 74 assorted SPPs and Back Pagers.… Continue reading

A very good Wednesday morning from Winnipeg where Spring has sort of sprung, almost, but the grass hasn’t riz yet, and the only birdies I have seen in significant numbers are the eponymous geese returning from their winter break.… Continue reading
