What a treat from Patrick Berry!

Hey, that was fun enough to distract me from my case of Shingles! (Actually, not too bad. All on one arm, and rapidly on the mend. Though it looks horrible!)

Somewhat of a toughie for me. A few wrong entries last night and I was about to send @Wendy Walker an SOS. You know she does these in pen, right? In the morning the clouds parted, and I finished without too much trouble.

When I started, I thought. Well, here's one I won't finish. I had only a few of the Row words and not many Boxes. But somehow it all came together, despite my having gotten 6b just slightly wrong enough to throw things out of whack.

@Wendy Walker, I can’t imagine doing this in pen! Took me all morning but I enjoyed it! Lots of erasing for me.

One of my first entries was incorrect at the third clue for Row 4. That messed me up until I started to see the reveal answer. Great puzzle, great format

I almost NEVER do puzzles in anything but pen. This will be an exception,

Still only at 95%, but the thing is such an ugly mess, need to recopy.

Manãna.

Maybe the two holdouts will come to me then.

This was a workout. Fun, yes. Still have three points of stuckness.

Had to recopy and finally got it all.

Patrick Berry puzzles are my favorite, period full stop.

Last to fall was last of Row 5.

Very much enjoyed! SE corner last to fall. Thanks, PB
