Epic #Mastermind final!

Twitch Twitch is the world

There will be crosswords today! (Possibly interrupted by various painkiller alarms and waving the Kid off as they head back to uni. We're middle-aged.) But please join us at 12 to help solve cryptics by @someguyinthefridge.bsky.social and Baldur! #CrypticSunday

Two sheep and a lamb in a field

Out for a walk

Hope you feel better soon x

An absolute banger.

Yes!

Pleasing indeed! Nb 22d in today's debut Hat cryptic has given me an earworm, is this affecting any other solvers of a similar vintage...?

I’m excited for the latest issue of Unch, v much looking forward to the puzzles, and delighted to be interviewed in it talking about crosswords, crime and Murder Most Cryptic 🙌🏻

Thank you for having me @unchcrosswords.com

Teddy is excited as it’s teatime.

A SHORT CROSS-LINGUISTIC POEM ABOUT FOOD…

An English cheese is good
But a Dutch cheese is gouda

An English sausage is bad
But a German sausage is the Wurst

An English egg leaves you hungry
But a French egg is un œuf

In English you fancy some bread
But in Spanish you’re pan sexual

'I am not here to give a website respect.' 🔥
I keep seeing articles in supposedly serious medical journals referring to AI as a 'team mate' or 'collaborator' and honestly what is wrong with these people.

I have a box full of these in my bedroom please buy some so I can move the box, I am worried I will fall down in the night and break my hip.

Thank you!

Would anyone like to test solve the slightly silly themer I've ended up with?

Sorry to miss you! We were fast today...

Come on everyone, we can do it again. I believe in us.

It helped that I'd done a similar theme a few years ago! 🗞️🍑😁❤️

Yess! We have them on cassette somewhere...

I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

A very stocky Exmoor Horn ram.

Happy 8th anniversary to the tweet that changed us forever. Look at this absolute unit.

Art heist alert!
My framed drawing Akron Ladders III was stolen from a gallery in East Sussex. It’s a very distinctive drawing that was shown in the RA Summer Exhibition 2024. Let me know if you spot it anywhere. It’s hard enough being an artist at the moment without having to deal with thievery.

Well wishes your way, of course, and if folks have nothing better to do with their own long weekends, they can pop round mine at noon for a #CrypticSunday Replacement Stream Service feat. @andrewt.net, Ozpiper, Baz and maybe a puzzle from yesterday if I have the time:

You too.

Thank you!

Currently eating an Easter egg in bed which is helping, yes.
