Today’s Wiki-est, Amazonian Googlies
My wife and I are heading into the last week of our extended holiday over here in Ireland. We are making an early start this morning as we have to drive the length of the country to Belfast (to see a new “Titanic” exhibition). I only have time to post the essentials today as a result. I will try to get to the look-ups later but I honestly cannot be certain I will have the time. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Gotta run!

Bill

UPDATE: I was in such a hurry this morning that I posted the wrong puzzle. I still haven’t gotten to the look-ups, but at least this is the right puzzle now.
