I'm with Colum: I've not seen LOU...11 mins.<br />I'm with Colum: I've not seen LOUPE in a little bit, so I liked it. For a while, a year or so ago, I saw it nonstop in the Telegram puzzles. CANOODLE was good, too, as was JUNCO (we get many of those little guys around the YBH). Finally, AVALON was good. I didn't know that was 46A King Arthur's resting place. Maybe I should read more. I'll have to ask Sue her opinion on that. The theme was good enough for a Tuesday, though I had to fill in all of the longer clues before realizing what it was. I didn't like PLAGE (47D French beach) for obvious reasons.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-49161176661871118482013-12-31T15:10:34.102-05:002013-12-31T15:10:34.102-05:006:06. I liked several of the answers here, such as...6:06. I liked several of the answers here, such as LOUPE, HENCE, MALTA, and CANOODLE. I recognized Valetta from my mother's favorite series of books, the Lymond Chronicles (my middle name comes from the main character, and is only one letter different than Frannie's). The theme was fun, and worked out well. Elgar would have been an excellent addition, if maybe a little obscure for a Tuesday/Monday. Did not like OKED. That just doesn't work.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.com
