Favoured 8d - which reminded me of many a report card and 11A, which had me humming the theme from a famed Rowan Atkinson series. Rated 4/4 (due to the incomplete). Thanks to Falcon for the assist and the setters for a good puzzle.smaugnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-4350639288023479092016-03-05T15:22:39.800-05:002016-03-05T15:22:39.800-05:00Something happened to the "Groan" I inse...Something happened to the "Groan" I inserted in the above comment.

Ok, maybe 16d is going down, but 24d?Henryhttp://henryjablonski.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-25262296370329478682016-03-05T11:59:25.027-05:002016-03-05T11:59:25.027-05:00Oops!

But the weatherman is predicting spring for the coming week.<br /><br />Thanks to C & R.<br /><br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815451657510231894noreply@blogger.com
