I won this month’s cryptic clue contest on Raider’s ace MyCrossword site! (Or my alter ego Pixie did.) I’ve mislaid my setting mojo lately so this is a lovely boost. My entry was:
Grumpy co-worker or gleeful? (5)
(Solution/spoiler in link.)

Booked my place for the Society of #Indexers day conference in September, the first UK in-person one since 2019. I’m leading a session comparing cryptic crossword setting and book index writing. Looking forward to it all. Who else plans to be at #SIConf23? 🤓

As a Trekkie this one from today’s FT crossword made me chuckle :)

For any cryptic crossword solvers, I have a new puzzle up at MyCrossword.co.uk (as HairApparent). A huge debt to my test solver and constructive critic @SGriew [Twitter] with this one, as well as to @RaiderCrossword [also Twitter] for the site. I hope solvers like it, and as always I'm always grateful for any criticisms that feed into doing better next time.
(And if you see this and you're a cryptics person I'm not following yet, HMU!)
