2 years of (89% of the time) completing the crossword. After 1 year, I had yet to complete a Friday or Saturday without lookups. So I set myself 10 goals for year 2. 1-7: Bring average daily times below a certain time, personal to me - all achieved 8-9: Complete a Friday and a Saturday with no look-ups - achieved. Maybe not as often as I would like, but that's ok. Some weeks I can fly a Friday and get nowhere on Saturday. Next week can be the opposite. It is getting easier though, I think! 10: Construct a crossword - far from achieved, but attempted at least. Grid design is a complete bafflement to me. Kudos to all who do Goal for year 3: Continue to enjoy :)

Being Irish certainly made today's puzzle easier :)

Took a few minutes to find my mistake. VAA meant as much to me as FAA. A deviant could be untameable....

Kite flying is difficult in MISTY weather also....

Usually on a Saturday, my guesses are way off. Today, it just clicked for some reason. Less than 40% of my average Saturday time :) I should get up to organise the kids' breakfasts now.....

Technically, the triceps muscle attaches to the triceps tendon which in turn attaches to the ulna.

Less than half my average Tuesday time :) Faster than yesterday even!

As an Irish person, St Pats is very very VERY wrong. Nobody refers to our patron saint as Pat. Its St Patricks Day, or familiarly, it's Paddy's Day. I wont even start on Patty's Day....

Did 2 cycles of across and down. Had 3 answers I was sure of. Came to comments section. Giving up now.

Regarding possible regnants, does Prince Andrew sploot often?

Nice puzzle. Pity it's Monday again
