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 #25: These Cities Six

  My Twenty-Fifth Crossword IT'S MY FIRST CROSSWORD ANNIVERSARY! To celebrate, here's a grid I've been sitting on for a while. Thank you, everyone, ever so much for all the solves. It means so much to me that what I've created is (hopefully) enriching others' lives. That's one thing I love about setting - aside from all the wordplay involved, you get to create something special and unique, to share with the world. Much like most forms of art. Thanks to Jack Keynes for test-solving. Have fun! - GAIS, 26/09/21 P.S. I'd like to thank every setter I know for inspiring me. I'll attempt naming them all here.
