Hi puzzlers. Still dark here but looks dry but chilly. What an amazing England v France match! 1A

Hi there, Globus, and thanks. A cool Monday afternoon in Osaka.

I’m sorry I missed the match. Sounds like it was a doozy.

Good morning (from here) FK. Yep. The match was a cliff-hanger. Went to extra time and won by the first to score in extra time.

Farrell steadied any nerves he might have and slotted a penalty, having missed one earlier.

Got to say, credit to the French side. 5A

I've corrected the day! I'm ahead of myself. It's Monday here, not Tuesday.

No Toughie. If we rattle this one up, I'll pop up the Times.

Thankfully. Got to say, he's good. That one took me about three hours in between chores.

He's probably more horrid than proXimal.
