I found it incredibly smooth, as always. And yes, Palin is the best of them.

It was no doubt longer than any mentioned so far, but not by much as this filled in pretty smoothly. I also needed every cross for DURSLEY; maybe I'll read those books some day, but I don't know when I'd fit them in. And Horace, if you're against RETAILTHERAPY you should have a long talk with your sister. That UPS truck is here every other day. Maybe she could use some REHAB. And since I met him, I'd have to side with Cleese over PALIN, but really not by much as they were all brilliant, IMHO.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-1807695886343227102021-06-06T15:00:21.196-04:002021-06-06T15:00:21.196-04:00Nice timeS, I should have said. :)Nice timeS, I should have said. :)Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-52262904466796595392021-06-06T14:59:40.998-04:002021-06-06T14:59:40.998-04:00All the cool kids do, Kelly!

I'm all for RETAIL THERAPY and, while I've never heard of it before, I'm wondering if it would fly as an excuse with my husband! Soon as I saw the grid and constructor I decided to time myself. 14 minutes.Kelly Clarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-60161326271355364472021-06-06T11:12:25.044-04:002021-06-06T11:12:25.044-04:00I was going to ask: was there not a theme today? ...I was going to ask: was there not a theme today? I guess it's not just me being obtuse.. This was a very dense one, hard to imagine there being fewer black squares. Fun all in all but I didn't find it exactly my cup of tea. Sunday curmudgeonliness!! 15:07 with just a kind of steady progress through the grid.<br /><br />Horace, how could you not know DURSLEY?? Don't you hate it when people ask questions that start with "how could you not..."? :) And agreed on PALIN vis-a-vis favourite Python.Philbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043217968097552604noreply@blogger.com
