I've spent good portions of the past three days in bed because my back decided it wasn't happy with me... I think maybe my bike needs some readjustment, or I at least need to pay more attention to posture while riding. Probably also my work-from-home chair needs an upgrade. Also I am OLD now. Thankfully after taking off work yesterday to lie in bed, my back feels a lot better right now.



Oh, here is a thing I want to mention. I co-solved Puzzled Pint with my usual teammates and a crossword with metamorphage last week over Discord and it was really fun. And I have lots of open nights now and a crossword or puzzle of that ilk rarely takes more than fifteen or twenty minutes, and I know where to find lots of puzzles I haven't solved so... if you ever want to kill fifteen minutes, poke me about co-solving a puzzle, crossword or otherwise. If you have more time than that, maybe we could try a cryptic, I want to get better at cryptics.

Oh, man, I completely forgot Puzzled Pint was running from home now! I should look at that next month.

[seekingferret]

The April puzzles are still up! And they included some extra solving tools to make it easier to work on remoely. We ended up doing them a week late because the actual Tuesday was the seventh day of Pesach.

[ambyr]

Hmmm. I'll reach out to my team!

I would definitely be interested in working on a cryptic, especially one that wasn't too British, heh.

[seekingferret]

Sure! Is there a good time tonight?

[primeideal]

Tuesdays aren't so great for me, would you be around later this week?

[seekingferret]

Thursday could work.

[primeideal]

Any time after 6 Eastern on Thursday would be good for me.

[seekingferret]

Ok, let's say 7PM Eastern on Thursday

I would definitely enjoy some collaborative crossword solving over Discord. I'm moderately good at British cryptics and moderately bad at American-style straights where the grid has hardly any blanks, so maybe we have complimentary strengths? Between timezones and Shabbat it may be hard to find a compatible 15 minutes, but... maybe just after you finish work, which is last thing in the evening for me.

Sympathy on the random back unhappiness, I'm glad it's better now.

[seekingferret]

Hmm, yeah. I'm usually off work at 5:30 Eastern, which I guess is 10:30pm for you. If that works we could try tonight or tomorrow night. I guess we could also try for my Sunday morning?

Not tonight as I have already made plans with someone not quite in my timezone. Tomorrow night 10:30 my time would work. Send me an invitation to the relevant Discord at some point? Email livdw [at] protonmail [dot] com. Yay, puzzling excitement!
