I Did It, I Jumped The Fence

For some of you (Adrian for example) this will be a non-achievement.  For me it's HUGE.  I've just completed my first cryptic crossword without any help.  OK it's the Two-Speed from the Dominion Post and perhaps not the hardest (OK it's probably really easy) but I did it all on my own.  Please don't tell me I've got any answers wrong.

Puzzles in The Dom

For years I've been keeping my mind active (who am I trying to kid) by doing crosswords. Mind you as I can't for the life of me get to grips with cryptic clues I just do the straightforward ones. CJ and I when we go out for coffee expect to finish the Times one before our coffee. It's a very socialable thing to do with a friend. The Dominion Post, one of New Zealand's daily papers, has a wonderful selection of puzzles every day including the usual crosswords and su doku and, and this is what I have recently 'discovered' Code-cracker.




It's brilliant. I am addicted. The only problem is that it's not a puzzle for two (unless you sit side by side so it could be handy for playing with a very close friend) so it won't replace crosswords across the coffee table.
