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.
