Well, about nine-and-a-half hours, to be exact. Then we’ll be nice and tidy for a month, twelve hours ahead, having sprung forward, until the UK falls back, and the gap expands to thirteen. This means that by November, all the UK puzzles will be two hours later to download. Puzzles which I now get at 11 a.m. NZ time will only become available at 1 p.m.
A fair amount of stuff done today – puzzles hither and yon, and, marvellous to relate, a new puzzle up on the site from one of my boxfiles that I don’t seem to have visited much – the year 2007. This time you get a Beelzebub puzzle from early in that year, and it predates the fifteensquared blogging of the puzzle, which only started in August 2007. Maybe one from further down the boxfile in a few weeks.
Since the last update I have proofread an Inquisitor which appears this weekend – apologies for not being able to get that on the list. The newspapers work to various timescales which are further complicated by staff holidays and the like, so I can’t always get a decent forewarning for the blog. It’s rather a neat one, I think.
What there is coming up in what looks like being a quiet month: the usual daily on 4 October, but the following week Phiday in The Independent will be Tuesday 8 October, one day after I appear in The Times.
