On shore! I’ll have a shot of promethazine to knock out the influenza I’ve been affected with all week.

I read this wrong... 🫢😳
I CANNOT WIN! I had said in earlier posts that the cabana boy was anticipating HORDES and SOME muggles thought that was hilarious. So I picked a different word. The cabana boy is shaking his head.
I take full blame, Meg. NOT your fault.
This may be the making of a meta = we have throngs and hordes. Is @Meg hiding any other nuggets to help out the constructors?

Ashore - saw the meta, which helped me finish the grid, which was a struggle for me.

Stay tuned for next week when Meg uses "flocks" in a cabana boy reference.

Forgot about this.

Ashore readily. Although actually completing the grid was a bit of a bear.
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Don't get what's funny about hordes.
