Guardian Quick Cryptic 106 by Pangakupu
This week’s 11 x 11 crossword from the Guardian intended to teach cryptic crosswords, found here
Private Eye ( Cyclops / 827 ) Uninvited Oomph
One of those where the last one in was the first one read. This happens all too often.
Does Cyclops make the clue to 1 Across tougher than the rest? I doubt it.
It must be that the little grey cells need more warming up before – so I’d better do another crossword before attempting this one…
… but then what if I have the same trouble with that. Oh dear.

It’s Joyce blogging today after an 8 week break or should I say ‘fracture’, which is what happened to Bert’s knee after tripping over a piece of wood in the garage. The one thing that he could do while he rested the knee was sit at the computer and write up the blogs. As he is now back at the gym – swimming and pilates – I thought I ought to see whether I could still sort things out.
