Hope you're ok, Owen.
The jumble clues were relatively easy, though I had to write out the third one's letters to see it. I don't think the solution is actually a pun this time, but whatever... it's funny.

Hope your ear-ache hasn't gotten worse, Owen. We miss you and are thinking of you.

Well, tough morning for me. I barely got a foothold on the Crossword puzzle with all those long items, and can't believe people saying they found this easier than most Saturdays. I did get the Sudoku, thank goodness, but even found the Kenken a bit tough. So it was a relief to get this delightful Jumble, with just a bit of work on the fourth item. Glad there were no buyers on that lot, and fun seeing Godzilla actually holding trucks in his paws.

Have a good weekend, everybody.

There were a few curve balls on the xword but not particularly tough and my net time was less than some Saturdays.

I too had problems with #4, thought I had it with NUDIST. Then I jotted down the letters and voila, only one vowel.

And of course no T on #4. Solution was right there on the picture as Misty said.

I'll now head to the CC.

At the moment I'm feeling fine, but wasn't last night or this morning. Ear ache is still there, but either pain pills are helping, or I'm just getting used to it. However new symptoms are popping up. Chills and extreme painful shivering for 30-60 minutes followed by fever with delirium. I have both puzzles queued up for Sunday, and hope I can get both poems writ before the ills set in tonight.
