We’re at that time of year when the feijoa trees start offloading their bounty. This, in turn, means a scramble to use them up before they go off, so today has become a rush to make chutneys, jams and crumbles. We even discussed creating a form of Sussex pond pudding with a couple of them. We might even eat some of them direct from the tree. We thought it would be a quiet year, since our main tree seemed to focus on foliage this year. But tree two is having its time in the sun, and tree three – also foliage-focused this year – has produced one huge example as a sort of reminder of its potential.
Add in a packed weekend typing up completed puzzles and sending them off, and also gridwork on an Enigmatic Variations puzzle, and there is insufficient time to pop a puzzle up here – back to normal in a fortnight, I hope, if I haven’t contracted feijoa-poisoning.
Meanwhile, in that fortnight, there will be:
- A Times Quick Cryptic on 3 May
- An Independent daily on 3 May
- A Times cryptic on 6 May
- The May Guardian Genius on 6 May
- A Telegraph Toughie on 9 May
- An Independent daily on 10 May
The rest of the month is quieter and not bullet-point-worthy…
