Distracted by sunshine

January 27, 2019 By Phixwd Leave a Comment

Apparently today’s sudden burst of sunshine presages a heatwave, and it was certainly enough to keep me from putting up a puzzle. My computer’s belief that there is no Internet on Sundays isn’t helping either.

I was also distracted by sketching out a new idea a little way, which in turn may have been inspired by hearing that there’s a Phi probably coming along in the February Magpie – you never quite get confirmation until the issue arrives in your inbox.  There’s also a Telegraph Toughie on 6 February, a Times cryptic on 7 February and a Church Times puzzle on 8 February – indeed February is turning out to be quite jampacked in its short space.  More next time, with a puzzle, I promise (weather permitting).
