On the beach, sipping my morning coffee, thinking fondly of a gin and tonic later in the day!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Ashore! Due to a long hike this morning, I was asleep when the puzzle became available, but the rest seems to have cleared my aging brain. After a late lunch, I went for a little swim and found myself drifting toward the beach. A delightful outcome!

On shore. Shortly. After quite a few drinks with Isaac, I will definitely await the next tender.

Late start. Done and done
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

We are done and - like everyone else - impressed by a clever mechanism.

Ashore! Guinness in the puzzle, not on hand. None for me, thanks. I’ll take a mojito.

One of our lowest page appearances! Editing to add that apparently the site was down so that must have worked to our advantage!

On shore 🏝️

Fun one!

On Naboo. Not much of a crowd at the cantina tonight. The droid behind the bar is pouring Armagnac for me. Whatever!

We have swum to the sunny beach, and unlike last week, are positive it's the correct one! And agree with the really fun mechanism.

Heading out to a wedding Saturday at a winery, so will celebrate with some local Cab..

A safe weekend to all...

Looking like Eagles will get their loss out of the way early this weekend. Reverse jinx?
Also enjoyed the Patrick Berry change up. Guess he plays the WSJ meta role of “opener” in the new baseball parlance.
