Repatriated Expat

I loved it! Clever and fun, everything a Thursday should be! I really don’t understand why people complain about Thursday having a twist when it has been this way for years. Years. From those of us that adore these kinds of puzzles, could you just let us have this? Especially since the other types of crosswords (which I also loved) became print only. One day a week for those of us who like our puzzles with a bit of spice. The puzzles only start to get really interesting for me from Thursday on, but I don’t complain about the puzzles early in the week being too easy. They have always been easier, and it’s a great way for people new to puzzles to get in on the fun. That was me once. Since I know they are that way, I don’t rush to solve them, sometimes save them to do more than one in a day. Many new constructors debut with earlier in the week puzzles and it’s nice to see what talent we will have to look forward to. If you don’t like Thursday, don’t solve Thursday and let the rest of us that do enjoy it without negativity. I get it, some people solve every day for the streak, but sheesh! Every week! Okay. Diatribe over. Hope everyone has a great weekend coming up.

This was a fun puzzle and some of the clues gave me a good laugh. The animation at the end was an extra treat. And who doesn’t love giraffes! Great Sunday!
