Xmas Salon (51)
23 December, 2013
Less a Salon than a Post-It note to say the DA website will be in summer mode this week, and for much of January. That means a slow pulse while everyone heads for the cooler corners to read, splash and rejuvenate.
To regular dabblers, thanks for all your inventions and deviations in 2013. And to newcomers, possibly the new Cluetopians – curious to see what this website offers – enjoy your browsing time, and look for more active mischief later in the new year.
Just to keep your mouse finger busy, I have pre-loaded a few wordy challenges to punctuate the next month, including the customary WoWs and Birdbrains, as well as the odd clue-parade. (Of course, to get a stronger hit, grab the latest Puzzles and Words instalment.) But don’t be unnerved to suspect you may be in a chatroom of one on some days. Everyone needs a rest now & then – and this centennial year has been annus hecticus.
Of course, if you find a stellar Brit puzzle, tell the forum below. Indeed, any wordy news is appreciated, should you meet a language curio in your travels. Or maybe make a brainteaser like this one: What TV drama can gain ‘The’ at the start to become a band? (And we don’t mean Huey Lewis and The News.)
Merry X and have a fruitful and fanciful 2014. Yours verbally, DA
