| The daily challenge of anagrams and homophones Of reversals and hidden double entendres Define the morning ritual of a single person Worrying her knob of a pencil through the cryptic clues within the daily crossword as rain spatters on the perspex roof of a busy railway concourse - Still alone amidst the bustle. |

I love crosswords but usually do them at home on the deck or if it's too cold in the garage while drinking coffee and smoking my pipe.

I think Mildred is struggling with the "24 across" question!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of this grand mother. It made me to remember my grand mother.
ReplyDeleteI love this lady. Fun hat, red coat - says a lot about her and she does crosswords so keeps her brain busy. Your words, as always, are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors of this photo and the expression of the lady. I hope she's going to solve it...
ReplyDeleteCryptic clues ... make me more than worry my pencil ... I find them impossible.
ReplyDeletehah! This is my next diversification!
ReplyDeleteMany years ago I used to be quite good at CC. However, it takes a few months to learn all the techniques the setters use and the general form of clues. But, as with many hobbies, experience and perseverance makes all the difference.
VP, I hope she solves it too. Somehow I think she sits there each morning until it is complete!
She is a treasure and so is the photo. I like doing the crossword after brekky and think how lucky i am that i don't have to jump up and go to work before its finished.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot. You tell stories and take photos.

I love people watching. I sometimes wonder if some of the people I photograph on the sly ever happen to see themselves on my blog??? I wonder if I'm on someone ele's blog?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad there are others who enjoy people watching. It is interesting to wonder if you are on an unknown blog. I would love to think so.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful capture, Julie!
