Cryptic #15: Latin Homework

My Fifteenth Crossword

Sorry for the radio silence, everyone. I haven't been feeling very cruciverbal lately, what with more exams coming up, trying to get *some* exercise into my life, and, erm... God, my life is so dreary nowadays.

In Latin, we have been studying Virgil's Æneid, and the moving tale of the fall of Troy. We were briefed to make a "creative response", several months ago, so here you go. It has also worked its way into the school classics magazine, with a few strings having been pulled.

(Also, should I do Latin A-level? I really like the subject... but instead of what would I do it? Decisions, decisions.)

Hope you can understand some Latin. If not, you may want to move along. 

Have fun!

Cryptic #37: How Time Flies

My Thirty-Seventh Crossword Hello.  Sorry for the lack of output - despite my best efforts, I still often face a lot of work. Anyway, this puzzle is dedicated to a few wonderful people, and one solid gold legend in particular, without whom I'd not be nearly as into cryptics as I am now, and I wouldn't know so many of the aforementioned wonderful people. To this community, and its founder in particular, thank you. (The bloke in question is based  here  and here .) Have fun! - GAIS, 12/11/22

Cryptic #34: A Dish Best Served Lukewarm

My Thirty-Fourth Crossword No, it's not mashed potatoes. It's another GAIS crossword. As 34 is not a multiple of 3, this crossword doesn't have a theme that requires you to change clues or answers. But it does have a gimmick which I think is very fun, and for which others will probably start to hate me. Otherwise, I'm very proud of some of the clues here. They were a lot of fun to put together. And aside from the, erm, schtick, I don't think they're terribly difficult, as they have been in other recent grids. Thank you to Jack Keynes for test-solving. Next Friday is a special day, and in commemoration, I will have a crossword out on MyCrossword : the best grid I've ever written, according to Mental Playground, so watch that space.   Have fun! - GAIS, 09/04/22
