Well that's good, because you'll all have finished the Paris puzzles by then.
Assuming there are any without massive mistakes in them. :) :(
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Hmm. I think I may be not much use to you this time. We get the keys for our new house (EVERYTHING crossed - fingers, toes, eyes, etc.) on 25th October, then spend a week getting it sorted before moving, so I will be mostly in a house with no internet, and mostly exhausted that week. If I get a chance I'll have a look.

Good luck with the move, Laura, hope it all goes smoothly. :D

And Scurra, if I kept trying to do these puzzles until NEXT October 28th I still wouldn't have done them! :lol:

And you think we will have any ability left after we've had a Spiderman-designed puzzle to fry our brains this Saturday??? :lol:

Well, of course that is why I have packed a few bottles. :D Medicinal reasons, naturally.
