Minute Cryptic - 2 October, 2025 (It's difficult to balance any game or puzzles when it has mass market appeal unless its schtick is that it is casual or very difficult. I think varying it up is the only sane approach because then there is something for everyone. At the.moment, well not right not at this moment, I am eating cherries for breakfast with yoghurt and All Bran‡. It is quite a feat of engineering, or at the least, evolved deliciousness. I have half gram sensitive scales for cooking. I take a French style breakfast bowl and place 20gms of raisins at the bottom and about a teaspoon of cocoa powder. I put 80gm of frozen fruit on top, at the moment it's cherries, then add 15gm of chia seeds, then 100gm of Greek type yogurt, then another teaspoon of cocoa. I cover it with tinfoil and put it in the fridge for the fruit to defrost overnight. Then when I wake up I add 40gms of All Bran although I'm vaguely considering replacing it with just bran sticks, because I really don't need the fortifications, but the unsweetened, unfortified, bran sticks cost more than both Sainsbury's own brand bran sticks and Kellogs All Bran. To their discredit Lidl stopped selling their bran sticks. The chia seeds, raisins and cocoa powder below and adjacent to the fruit absorb excess moisture from the fruit juices and make a kind of chocolate sauce. All Bran contains sugar. So basically I start my day with a kind of dark chocolate pudding.) "20/20 vision eye patch" (3) 🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 🏆 0 hints – 1 under the community par (31,188 solvers so far).

(A footnote regarding; Psychologist's Propeller EP. I don't really know much about how popular music works and the bits I do often seem appalling, but between the Propeller EP and the album:

Very, very, good art and music. ) ‡

Minute Cryptic - 1 October, 2025 (I enjoyed that clue despite it taking me a while head scratching. I've had repeated anxiety dreams for about a week and a half. The first few were about CeX where there was something I wanted to buy but inevitably it wasn't working properly or they had trouble finding it. Today's dream was having left my passport at home and trying to dig it out for a trip to a very saccharine looking farm shop/museum in some posh part of California, where they think apples are magic, cosplay rural life, and cowboys pay $1000 for a jumper that requires a delicate hand wash. Although, as it turned out, in the dream it was actually a more down-market farm that was probably much cheaper and potentially more disappointing yet marginally less annoying. I got the wrong website. I couldn't find my passport and woke up before I could find it, which I'm going to interpret as a good omen because although it generated some anxiety about not been able to find something, neither museum/farm appealed to me and worst case I'd lost the money. Maybe subconsciously I'd lost the passport on purpose. Also maybe it reflects a general anxiety about right now. I'll stick with it being a good omen and underpaid* and overworked CeX workers not adequately checking their camera stock. Also I'm still fairly inflamed and have been since the bug got bored of me.)

* I don't think the stores have high margins and survive on the volume of turnover. So it's not like Blackwells or something. But I have a soft-spot for CeX workers because they look like people who are finding ways to not fit in. They're not quite my people because I don't really have my people but they're my people adjacent and generate some degree of empathy.

Minute Cryptic - 28 September, 2025 (I'm still too slow at certain puzzle things. I suspect I have a cold or COVID. Or At least the early stages of either. Last time I had COVID was the 16th of October 2023 to the 18th of October 2023, positive to negative. That was the third, and least severe, having been repeatedly infected and vaccinated, by that time. The first time I had a tremendously bad sore throat - the worst sore throat I've had in adulthood. The second time wasn't that bad - a week of feeling a bit odd and unwell, however the sting in the tail was about a week later I had my first ever bout of Actual Flu. I've capitalised Actual Flu because IYKYK - very unpleasant, I couldn't stand, pain levels concomitant with a full arthritic flare-up, a day of feeling so unpleasantly ill I thought I may die. The one thing that has united each bout of COVID is hyperosmia - the opposite of what COVID is generally associated with and a massive, virtually bonkers, craving for meat. I did my self a bacon, eggs and black pudding every day with a throat of razor blades. All of which sound like bullshit but a quick search reveals a similar theme for some on some vegan forums and I am mostly vegan, very omnivorous, so it's not some misguided meat flex. Nature rolls dice so I'm not confident COVID will always be like that for me and I won't relish having it again. It's not trivial. Any virus, maybe especially a relatively novel one like COVID, carries a risk of post viral complications. I'm not sure I'd notice because I already have an auto-immune disease. If I'm found in Tunbridge Wells' M&S gorging myself on black-pudding, steak & kidney pudding and assorted animal meat products you'll know it happened again. I'd maybe get some pastries or cake for afters. I wouldn't do that because I wouldn't want to infect other people. I'd be there in spirit and someone else will have a shopping list, maybe the person who infected me. I wouldn't discuss this on ordinary social media because of people in general having Opinions.)
