From Crosswords to Quizes - Brain teasers space!

Glad you had a nice shower @CheerBear

I think the first one is convicted?

2nd one clue is the first word "initially", so you take the first letter of the next words so it would be ROGUE

Thanks @CheerBear

It is taking my mind of everything else at the moment which I am try really hard not to think about

In that case @Former-Member, I'll leave these with you for something to think about if you'd like 🙂

16 Down: Signor, the astrological signs contain this direction (9) N _ R _ _ _ _ _ _

18 Down: Old folk tales that confuse Glen with Des (7) L _ G _ _ _ _

23 Across: Furious intensity disturbs even me, Che! (9)

27 Across: Longed for sir, indeed (7) D _ _ _ R _ _

These might take a little more brain power, but they're not impossible.

I'm going to head to bed now and cuddle with a sick little person, but I hope you can find the forum a good distraction tonight. There's almost always someone around. Nightshift, the coffee chat thread, even the good morning thread (at night) can be good places to hang out for company.

Thanks @CheerBear,

Don't think I will get much sleep tonight so will be a good distraction.

Hope the little person isn't too sick but cuddles feel so good

@CheerBear I'd appreciate a replay of how to do cryptics. This is really good for the mind.

@Former-Member You are doing really well. See you both later. Coffee time one...ahhhh

Thanks for the help @CheerBear, hope you had a good night.

These kept me entertained during the night!
