Brendan, I didn't return to your earlier post - about the various artworks/works of art - as I felt I could be getting in the way of those still working on Inquisitor. I know that some of those really were worth seeing.

Memories of THAT EV will never leave me, it ended up being (unintentionally) such fun! It was your sticking to your guns stance that was most entertaining. I like logic, but I think yours there was the most tortuous I'd ever encountered.

Ha ha. Thanks Brendan. I've just read the preamble and I can understand your meltdown. I'll wait till I'm feeling strong before I give it a go! I haven't tried an Everyman before so it could be interesting...

Thanks Malone, thanks Hugh.

What I find interesting is that, in everyday encounters with friends, family, colleagues etc., I really am reasonable, willing to listen to both sides of an argument and the first to admit when I'm in the wrong. In this instance, however, I was so sure I was in the right and, as the conversation progressed, just became increasingly so 😂

Hugh, I'm sure it was just a slip, but the puzzle was an Enigmatic Variations one.

Regarding making copies of the grid I always use qxw. It handles not standard grids and shaded and/or unnumbered lights.

Is the 13,3 answer in Chambers?

Brendan, no, but the second and third words are in Collins.

Okay, thanks Mattrom.

Mattrom, if you're still about - in the free online Collins, if you type in the last two words in 13, 3 and scroll down about half-way, is there an excerpt from The Guardian 2019 referring to a 'running squirell'?

Yes ...

You're a ⭐ Mattrom

I'm finally able to start filling in the grid with some confidence.
