discoveredinaljMerry Christmas! I hope you don't have too much last minute shopping, or gift wrapping, or cooking to do today, because I thought I would attempt to get you thinking with a crossword. As I'm not a professional crossword-maker the clues vary wildly from straightforward to more than a little cryptic, with the odd (very odd) anagram tossed in. *g*
The picture is a *.jpg that can be copied onto an A4 sheet of paper with margins minimised and printed from there. You can shrink it a little for letter-sized paper. I'll post the answers in a separate post close to midnight Lad's Time. Oh, and just to make it interesting, I'll write a drabble for the first person to send me a completed puzzle before the answers are posted: I'll even make that two drabbles, one for people who are in daytime between 6 am and 6 pm when this goes up, a little after midday AEDT (1:00 am London), and another for the other half of the world! The only thing I can't promise is to write them today - actually it will probably be after Christmas, unless I'm suddenly inspired.
Email Address: miranda731 at yahoo dot com dot au Send me a scan or a photo of your completed puzzle - as long as I can read it the format's fine.
