“Kia ora. Kiwis are normally shy creatures who spend most of the day asleep and come out only at night, but we have emerged, blinking into the light to bring you our very first review of a Wednesday puzzle. It has taken much beak scratching.”
The above is part of the preamble we wrote in September 2014 on our very first BigDave blog. Today, the statistics on our computer tell us that this is our blog number 500 so we have decided that it would be an appropriate time to step aside and return to our underground nest as kiwis do as daylight approaches.
Before we started blogging we used to secretly refer to Big Dave as The Headmaster and the team of bloggers as The Prefects and it was a great honour to be invited into the prefect’s study. We still feel in awe of those amongst us who do so much behind the scenes to keep everything running so smoothly.
We don’t intend to leave the site but to continue to solve puzzles and make comments as we have done for so long but we will be able to use the word ‘Wednesday’ again instead of ‘Blogday’.
Once again we found a few tricky pieces in today’s puzzle to keep us on our toes.
Please leave a comment telling us how you got on.
