My first DA for my 33rd year — like always, I expect it to be fun.

Report on your findings here (but no spoilers until Monday).

Update: An interesting theme:

It’s my last weekend as a 32 year old, and I’m celebrating by participating in a surprise flash mob at a 40th (I don’t think anyone who will be going to the 40th reads this blog…)

Hopefully I resist the temptation to sneak a peek at the DA during the festivities, although I also hope that the DA will be so good that I can’t resist the temptation.

How much more frightening is it to do a DA on Friday 13th, Sydneysiders?

Greakster is upon us, and maybe it’s this week, the real Easter weekend, that DA brings us a bunny-related crossword (etymological treat for the day: Easter comes from Ēostre, a female pagan goddess whose festival was celebrated around and about, and from whom words such as oestrogen also derive).

To make things even more happily coincidental: the Tigers will probably win this weekend.

Update: The Tigers did indeed win, as did most of us DA Trippers it seems:

Is GLIMPSE the finest hidden clue in a very long while?

Some very easy definitions to get you going, and then the trickiness. KNIFED was a bit harsh, I thought, as was ILL.

No matter: we had LOO and GLIMPSE and GALAH.

Here’s to the early Easter (the real one’s next week) and to a rollicking DA for the break.

Report about bunny rabbits and DAs here.

Update: Not one for the childless:

The charms of this one were lost on me — although I did enjoy ESCHER.
