Blanche is particularly appreciative of this option, because she says clapping with feathers doesn't seem to properly convey her level of excitement.

Yeah, I think I settled on the phrase "concrete evidence" a little too early and then stubbornly had a lot of letters to clue for. But that's EnigMarch!
Thanks for solving and for the feedback!
You mean to tell me that every time hockey season rolls around anew, the NHL doesn't have a big soirée? …and that there isn't evidence starting to back this fact up‽ 😄
Happy #EnigMarch Part XII! Today's #cryptic clue for CONCRETE was tough, but now that I have something, I'm going to back away slowly and hope for the best:
Concrete evidence beginning to support that NHL's regularly hosting big return (8)

A bunny with a piece of buttered toast in its mouth hops on all fours down a footpath in a city. Rounding a corner, it is about to crash into a different bunny, also in a hurry.

I once *really* wanted to respond to one of those with something like "But you're sitting right next to me. Why are we texting?" But I knew it'd do more harm than good.
Really wanted to, though. 😄

Always exciting to see more cryptics representation. 🎉
Big Top. Cards depict circus acts, each with a few numbered circles on it. Some of the circles have coins on them, covering the number.
Dorfromantik. A village made of hexagonal tiles with art of forests, villages, wheat fields, rivers, and railroads.
Wonder Bowling. A box with a bowling lane is in the middle of the table. There are small pins beside it, along with a stick with large spheres on either side. Each player has small square tokens in front of them.
Yesterday, I played Big Top, Dorfromantik, and Wonder Bowling.
My mother and I have been playing through this Dorfromantik campaign at a snail's pace. But we're making progress. #boardGames
This is the warning on the blood pressure monitor my dad just got.
Exceptional work. Anybody know what the fuck it’s supposed to mean?

"Get 20% off Carte Blanche so you can learn how to play cards with your grandma." I couldn't have put it better myself.
(Blanche says she'd love to help you prepare for your next visit to grandma's house. She recommends gin rummy.)
Many thanks to @cheymac.bsky.social for including Carte Blanche in her recommendations for the Catalog Anniversary Sale! So many great games to play, and Blanche is grateful to be included.
Stop by for a round or two. What would you like to play? Cribbage? Gin Rummy? Cassino?
The Four Doors. In the center of the table, there is a column of cards with other cards stacked along either side. Each player has a number of colored cards in front of them.
Vantage. The center of the table has a board with colored tokens, small supplies of various tokens, and also stacks of cards with numbers in their corners. Each player has a grid of cards in front of them with dice and silver cubes on them. One of the cards shows a vantage point of the player and is sitting upright in a stand.
Yesterday, I played The Four Doors and another game of Vantage.
The Four Doors was super fun. A very compact and familiar puzzle.
Vantage is always a good time. We had some wild adventures and had our first experience with Sk… umm, a cool thing that I hope others discover as well. 😄
