I just realised why you were on so "late". Now I have to get used to a 4 hour difference for a few weeks.

I told Pix the other day I would solve hers next time I streamed, so I will have to duck out while you do that one.

There will be no stream today. I am still recovering.

About the same for me - only because I watched a lot of Simon's Roper's videos.

Will be streaming today in about 1 hour. Would like to do puzzles by @clairebennie.bsky.social, @matttheshirt.bsky.social, @skirwingle.bsky.social, @henriwords.com and maybe more if time.

Henri's 4th point is probably the most important. Always try to get at least one test solve. There will always be something you, as the setter, miss but someone else is likely to catch. Feel free to ask here or on MyC for testers.

Nice! Look forward to it.

I was pretty out of it yesterday, so the date didn't even register, but it would have been my dad's 100th birthday on the 6th.
Happy Birthday, dad! ❤️
