    2. Thank you col. Would there be a dummy post or the blog is also going to skip a page (probably for the first time!)

  2. As per announcement in the paper there will be no edition tomorrow. So no CW as well.

  3. There is no issue of the paper tomorrow.So at 8-30, the usual blog on Sunday crossword cannot appear. If the IXL engagement is only at 11, how do we fill the two and a half hours? That is the question that may bother some persons like Paddy..

  5. 10AC and 11AC went for a toss initially. I thought they were BANGALORE and AT+ONE
    Took sometime to get back on track.

  7. Enjoyed solving CW today.....But 29A...I was struggling to get the anno.for Art. later I perceived that to consider from Painting. i.e skill=Art.
    please correct me, if I am wrong.
