well actually my mom has a subscription, but she tears out the crossword for me :)

enjoying a late afternoon in the sofa with them while doing a few crosswords - printed or online - is so very lovely.
also a great way to lazily learn new things or remember the stuff from high school or even those fun facts your seven year old self used to collect about greek mithology and astronomy.
it's also about the integenerational act of saying - oh, i know this one, i just don't remember it...

The success of my day primarily relies on how well (or more often than not, badly) I do on my crossword. At the moment I am loving the NYT app on my phone - it also offers a more accessible ‘mini’ crossword, as well as the wordle.
However, now and again I’ll buy a copy of the New Yorker, flip straight to the last page, and do a physical crossword over an oat milk flat white - my slice of paradise 🥰

whilst travelling on the train with a friend, i picked up a newspaper and flicked through to the back to try my hand (and brain) at a crossword. what followed was disgruntled noises and writhing in our seats, we struggled BIG time and were lost for words !
however, the gratification of solving a few clues was enough for me to buy a pocket crosswords collection book.
i try to do one every day (preferably in the morning with breakfast) and i'm gradually getting better at them. it's improving my vocabulary and keeps the brain rot at bay!
we can take a few life lessons away from crosswords, such as patience, not overthinking shit (when i think less, the answers come to me) and always double check the fineprint !
