DA rides again.

DA for the 17th of May, 2013

This week’s cryptic will probably be less controversial, less memorable, less DA than last week’s. Doesn’t mean it won’t be worth talking about it.

So talk about it here.

DA for the 26th of April, 2013

This would have to be the first DA I can remember that will be published on my birthday. I turn 34 on the 26th, and so I can start my birthday with a crack at a DA.

DA for the 12th of April, 2013

I have it on record that tomorrow’s DA is going to be a humdinger.

Have Lunch with DA in Melbourne, or Do Something Hush-Hush with DA in Sydney

DA’s got a very busy schedule ahead of him.

For Sydneysiders, DA will be doing something on Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th of May as part of the Sydney Writers’ Festival. The details cannot be divulged as yet, but the skinny is that the first event will involve dictionaries, a star guest and noon, while the second has something to do with crosswords and the harbour around midday. The details will be announced on the Sydney Writers’ Festival website.

For Melbournites, there’s an opportunity to lunch and crossword (yes, that’s right, I verbed crossword) with DA on Saturday 25th of May as part of the Dandenong Ranges Writers’ Festival. He’s quite the speaker too, so it’s bound to be quite an entertaining event at the Country Place Retreat in Kalorama.

And in more ominous news, DA also warns of a heady theme coming up this Friday. So maybe clear out your schedules and allow yourself some time with the crossie at the end of the week.

DA for the 5th of April, 2013
