Cryptic #33: How Peculiar

 My Thirty-Third Crossword

Hello everyone.

It's been over a month, for which I can only apologise. I've had a fair amount of schoolwork to do, resulting in cluing sessions' being few and far between. 

On January the 13th of this year, a most peculiar occurrence happened to me, and as soon as I got home, I decided to make a grid about it. I dillied and dallied over whether or not to make it a themer, and if so, how, but after two and a half months, the grid is finally here.

Also, on my 17.5th birthday (this Tuesday), I caught coronavirus. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Thank you to Jack Keynes and Agnijo Banerjee for test-solving, and also to Jack for providing me with a passable clue for 25-across.

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

  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.
