Crossword	Date	Comment
Cheese	24 March 2022, 19:30	Yup.
Floor lamp	24 March 2022, 17:25	It looks a little unstable.
Tomato on a branch	24 March 2022, 17:19	I puzzled over this for a while. After all, what decent salad doesn't have tomatoes? Well, unless--said I to myself, said I--it's a chicken salad. Or tuna salad. Or egg. Or ... oh ... FRUIT salad. My only excuse is 90% of my coffee is still in the cup.
Doggy Fetch a Bone	24 March 2022, 5:55	I love the angularity. It made it totally impossible for me to see anything developing until the whole thing was done.
Felix the cat	23 March 2022, 23:36	Rats, you beat me to it.
Extension	23 March 2022, 18:20	I was trying to make it into a still. Must be thirsty, although I do prefer to wait at least until noon...
Extension	23 March 2022, 18:19	As I remember, King had a problem with his spelling. pauses to look it up Ah. Sematary. Worse than I thought. But maybe your monster is reading a different (and probably less scary) book by a different author. But no matter. Reading is sexy, whatever.
Oyster	23 March 2022, 7:13	Real money, yeah. And when you've got a lot of clams, the world's your oyster.
Pearl	23 March 2022, 7:01	Just finished watching a show where one slightly larger than this was stolen. (From a really vile man. It was a happy moment.)
Jug	23 March 2022, 1:11	Punctuation should be a guide to pronunciation, so it really depends on how you would speak that sentence. For instance -- which, BTW -- while correct, would be spoken differently from -- which BTW -- . So if you're saying -- which BTW -- the comma would be misleading.
Ballet shoes	23 March 2022, 0:50	Yeah, lungs or wings was my take too.
Scales	22 March 2022, 18:32	It seems unnecessary at this point to weigh in with my opinion.
Pipe	22 March 2022, 17:02	You want all that humidity in your house?
Goblet	22 March 2022, 16:45	I was trying to think how you'd drink out of this without some serious wine stains. Then I realized the sides weren't sides but handles. It made a much better picture, but it's not a goblet. Although I can't come up with the correct term, short of a clumsy "two-handled drinking cup".
Cocktail	22 March 2022, 7:14	Not if you check the right time zone...
Mug of beer	21 March 2022, 17:45	When I was a Navy yeoman (clerical worker) on the staff of the Commander, Third Fleet, I was for a short while assigned to our liaison officer from the Royal Navy. One day I went to him with a letter he’d given me to type (PCs were yet to be thought of, so nobody who wrote letters could type them) and said, “I can spell Pearl Harbor with an -O-R or an -O-U-R, but you’ve got it both ways here. Which would you like?” He looked a little lost, then asked who he was writing to. I told him the USN or the RN (I forget now which it was), and he looked relieved. “OK then, spell it [whichever was appropriate].” Whether in defense of the nation or defence of the world, one has to recognisze and respect our commonalities and our differences. See, I can spell too. :D
Boat under sail	21 March 2022, 17:17	I'm a little confused by the mast in column 6 that's attached to the sail but not to the boat. If it's not a mast, what is it? Apart from that, though, I really like the concept and execution.
Road to home	21 March 2022, 7:08	Looks like a gazebo, which'd be a little breezy in a storm.
Zip it	21 March 2022, 4:52	And the same to you. In these days of call-the-divorce-lawyer-the-wedding-reception-is-almost-over, 30 years is a worthy accomplishment.
Zip it	20 March 2022, 19:10	30 years? So you're just starting up. (We hit 41 next month.)
Flower	20 March 2022, 6:18	How about a music stand?
Bridge	17 March 2022, 7:02	Elegant work!
Bridge	17 March 2022, 7:02	Or burned.
Jug	16 March 2022, 7:34	I know. You'd think it would improve with experience. Instead, it just goes to pot with the rest of your body. Even though you'd think it would improve with experience. Oh. Did I say that already? By the way, who are you again?
Jug	15 March 2022, 18:36	I had 15 squares to go, give or take, and there was absolutely no way this was going to turn out to be a picture of anything at all. A couple of squares later and the destination was perfectly clear. Love it!
Jug	15 March 2022, 18:34	Pear?
Ostrich with Head in Sand	15 March 2022, 18:26	No, not exactly. But I was thinking something from Star Wars I wasn't remembering quite right. Or maybe War of the Worlds.
Fox-sister	15 March 2022, 7:11	Just think--I never knew they had nuns!
Lynx	14 March 2022, 8:27	Big Bad Soviets? Baby Boomer Specials? Back Before Sunlight?
Lynx	14 March 2022, 6:51	And here I thought you were not too far from me in age, only to find out you're younger than the internet!
Girl	13 March 2022, 7:35	No, Rosie the Robot. Well, that's what I was thinking, anyway.
Winter trees	12 March 2022, 18:08	Far too tedious for me, I'm afraid. But I'm short on sleep so didn't really have the patience I should have had.
Beach	11 March 2022, 5:28	Keep 'em lined up please, bartender!
A Clockwork Orange	10 March 2022, 23:34	Very ingenious!
Planet	10 March 2022, 18:43	I had no idea until the very end. "This is going to be a face." "Oh, look: flowers." "Why is it broken?" And suddenly--stunning.
House	10 March 2022, 8:31	I just had one child and didn't know what to do...
Rabbit	9 March 2022, 21:10	I can't tell if it's cross-eyed or not. Very strange.
Kitty in flowers	9 March 2022, 19:04	Apologies to PolN0vik, whom I thank for contributing, but for me this was absolutely not worth the effort or the hour of my life gone. There's insufficient distinction between the subject and the background, so it's an effort to see the picture even when done. And there are just too many blasted 1s and 2s. And finally I got a headache trying to tell the difference between the red and the black (although the fact that I've had cataract surgery on the right eye but not yet the left may be partly to blame for that). Of course--speaking of the evil effects of aging--having woken up this morning with an aching back has likely made me look for flaws in everything. Apologies again.
Bird	8 March 2022, 18:37	Love child of a duck and a penguin...
Santa	8 March 2022, 18:29	Looks like Santa needs to lay off the hot toddies and start mega-dosing on Vitamin D.
Eggplant	8 March 2022, 1:17	This is the first variety known in Europe: https://bestseedsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Egg-white-eggplant-bonsais-about-selling-organic-v.png
Eggplant	8 March 2022, 1:11	Well, as we get older ...
Monkey	7 March 2022, 6:52	Ignore the greenery. What's left is face, a line of body, and the tail sticking up behind.
Pony	5 March 2022, 22:47	Is that a battery pack? I was misled by the color scheme into expecting a different species until I was about halfway done.
Apple	5 March 2022, 18:03	OK, there's the boot of Italy, and I suppose that's Greece. The dark green is the Mediterranean... But what happened to the Iberian Peninsula? And why is Denmark a brown stick? Obviously Arina's just very bad at geography, because my perceptions couldn't possibly be wrong, right?
Boat	5 March 2022, 6:30	It was quite clearly going to be a fish. Until, of course, it wasn't.
Garlic	5 March 2022, 6:18	Yes; my thought too.
Penguin	5 March 2022, 6:09	Bow tie, top hat, and (?) bloody mary?
Cake	4 March 2022, 20:29	There is no such thing as too sweet.
The Cow Jumped Over the Moon	4 March 2022, 6:27	Surely that would be "she".
