Today’s Strands was a nice one, but to make up for it the setters made us earn our crust by putting the words in a couple of interesting switchbacks – it was almost therapeutic. Hands up if you tried to tap out Daylight instead of DAYBREAK (I may have done this, cough).

I’m a TWILIGHT kind of person – not the sexy vampires – it’s the classic procrastinator’s time of day, the regret of the daytime wasted, the promise of an evening to come when you can forget about the daytime wasted.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
