Ashore! Haven’t had so much fun with one of these puzzles in a long time.

Stuck deep in the warren, having followed several attractive bunnies which then left me behind. 🙁🐇

Thank you to the zoom room - I wouldn't have unlocked this week without a nudge in the right direction!

I could use the excuse that the kids and grandkids are here but in reality I probably would never have gotten this. Kudos to those who did and thanks to a kind muggle who put me out of my misery. No mug this week, but the joy of spending the weekend with the littles by far outweighs that.

Stay well all.

Ok, hopelessly stuck this week. Starting cocktails early (west coast) :)

Anyone who is ashore care to send a hint my way? I can tell you which rabbit holes I have gotten stuck in.

Thanks!

I was kindly pulled ashore by muggles in the Friday Zoom solve.

I guessed the meta answer but needed help to back solve.

Muggles are awesome!

On the beach! I looked at this on Thursday and saw a couple of things but couldn't figure out what I should do with them. Picked it up again this evening and things quickly clicked. Not a subject that I'm interested in and I wouldn't have gotten this without Mr G.

Sure. PM me. I'll be awake til ~11 Eastern.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Good evening muggles

Have a good week and good luck winning the mug.

Good luck all. Once again I was too busy painting to solve the meta. Enjoying a glass of wine before slipping off to sleep. Not enough energy to even look at a crossword.

Yikes! I just realized I never posted my status. Been a little busy this weekend around here with two birthdays to celebrate. (Our oldest daughter was born on Mr. Hidden's 30th birthday.) For the record, @Bob cruise director, I'm still at sea. But I highly doubt I would have gotten this one anyway, even if I'd had more time to spend on trying to solve. C'est la vie!
