Busy day at hospital. Just getting to this now and a quick swim to (virtual) beach. Missing St John...

Stay well all

Ashore! Nice aha! on this one… enjoying a Last Word from the cabana boy after sharing my secret stash of green chartreuse with him. Cheers all!

Had to google to finish the grid, but at least I got the meta before I did that so I don't feel as bad about it. There was just no choice for me when a tv series intersected with an English civil war site which intersected with a Byron poem whose name is not English.

Ashore! I was stumped but have to say I come here to check if it really is difficult or if it seems a lot of people are getting it. Saw someone say that they were overthinking it, and then I got it almost immediately.

But that can work against me, too! On times where the puzzle is really hard, I do better when I don't check the responses to realize that everyone is finding it hard.

ON THE BEACH. Peloponnesiest meta in some time for me. I needed the confidence builder!

Very late start today, but done and done in about 20 minutes.

Done and done! It’s starting to feel like summer here, so I’ll take a Campari Spritz, please. And how about some deep dish pizza in honor of the new pope?

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!
